Well, the type 2 available government available in Pella made sense to me. How Hellenized Macedonians were was suspect even in the reign of Phillip. We can certainly assume there were people within Macedonia who, economically and culturally, were less Greek and more Thracian. In any case, the subjugation available resource makes more sense there than in Scordisci lands... at least in 272, before a long process of acculturation.

I suppose you could argue that Hayasdan-style reforms could be implemented for the Hungarian plain (I don't know its proper name, sorry), but although Dacia later did become controlled by a Getai-like people (I'm rough on the facts here), in 272 it would be far easier for a Thracian tribe to extend its government and control into Macedonia than Scordisci lands.

Does the placement of government resources make more sense in that context?
