What are the main things you want to see fixed from EB1 in EB2???

i've always felt limited in this regard, like im sure after 100 years under Roman Hegemony Iberia felt like a true part of the Empire?

Well other than it took the Romans about 200 years to subdue the local inhabitants. And it certainly did feel like part of the empire, but that certainly doesn't mean you could recruit italians there.

but the concept of citizen and being 'roman' extended beyond the italian peninsula by that time, correct?

Hence Marian recruitment. Other factions did not have anything similar.

Like how long did it take for the Galatians to establish themselves in Galatia to the point where we are recruiting celts there at the EB start point? Same with greeks establishing themselves as far east as bactria.

The Galations were a migration. An entire population just moving from one place and settling down into another. Transplating italians to Iberia did happen in the form of colonies, but the percentage of italians was tiny compared to the native population. As has previously been previewed, colonies will exist in EBII, and will allow you to change recruitment.

that's awesome, most people roleplay that anyway so it's nice to see it cemented via mechanics.

Well I was thinking more like transplanting Italians to Iberia rather than assimilating Iberians.
