First things first. Bravo to Asgaroth for his speech. i vote for the Aetolians because I know more about them. As for the free people problem, i say that we rename the rebels to free people (if possible) and make them stronger if it's possible. That way we may re-add the Dacians. For some reason I like the names of Antigonid Kingdom and Odrysian Kingdom, rather than Macedon and Thrace. It isn't very vanilla but I like them anyway.
