This not only gives you the richest cities in Greece, but some of the most advanced in the game at that point. The Brutii will then strike North into Dacia and Thrace, leaving you, their trusted Roman ally right in their exposed underbelly with their legions in the barbarian north. Ideal for when the civil war comes and you can use a few armies to capture the Brutii cities in Greece, leaving them with only the poorer, less developed cities in the wilderness
Yes, good strategy Rex and Dominii. It helps alot if you have a toe hold in Greece for the later game to cut the Romans in two. I too did that. I also went out a captured all of the greek islands like you plan to, they are extremely rich and provide naval conrol.
