I thought that fms could only be of the culture of the faction in question. Playing as the Romans I noticed that Pontos had been reduced to one city (Sinope) and (seeing as I want to keep as many factions alive as possible, and I was overflowing with mnai at the time) I thought that I would rescue Pontos by bribing the Seleucid army that was besieging them. This was a Seleucid fm, who turns out to have been a bribed Pontos fm (so he's effectively been bribed twice), Antipatros Kianos, or some such.
The weird thing is he's turned up on my family tree in all his eastern glory, and started picking up Romani traits and ancillaries. Anybody else had this happen to them? And, is it going to cause me problems?
