Faction Slot

[LusitanianWolf]

Well, Rome needs some competition down south that isn't Carthaginian, and it makes historical sense for Sicily.

(You can see I'm not very cut out for this.)

I really wouldnt like to see Syracuse as a faction because I hope to see AI's Rome and Carthage having bloody Punic wars and in a large percentage of games one of them becoming the dominant western mediterranian power (specially since I will play a lot with other western factions that historically had major wars with at least one of them).

Another faction in Sicilly would act as a buffer (unless you make it extremelly weak and thus irrelevant) and one of my largest disapointments in EB1 was SPQR AI allways going full "Holy Roman Empire" instead of having a semi historical expantion.
