I'm guessing the obvious ones are the ones in EB. Roman (Polybian, Marian, Imperial?) AS and Baktrian Katas, Karthi heavies, Keltic and Germani militarisiations and the horsey horseys settling down at last (actual reform names TBC).

I know Hai become Persia was in EB 1.2, is that one of "the obvious ones"? It was a bit of an *alternate reality one.

It might open the way for thoughtful sub modders (not me though, I am no modder at all, just a speculator) who see a choice for the Karthis (should they survive beynd their historical use-by date) to face a similar choice that Rome did: remain a Republic or go Monarchic (IIRC the Shophets seem to have kept a close eye on the Barcids in case they tried to make the change).

Maybe there'd be scope for Saba (and any other Arabian factions that may or not be in EB2) to Go Greek or Not Go Greek. I see Nabatea as a proposed faction who may have gone a bit Greek whereas Saba did not, did they face a choice in this? Perhaps that could be a choice for Pontos, where historically they embraced Greek culture but maybe they had an alternate future as a more Iranian culture too, with more horseys and less javelin armed heavy inf.
