Ah, yes. And Spartiate, the RTR team is currently striving very hard to overhaul RTR and 6.0 will soon come out within a week or two (or lesser, please! :) ). They're also very interested in overhauling the East. You'll see a new faction in the far east called Greco-Bactria (and another faction in the Balkans - Illyria), another breakaway kingdom of the Seleucids. They removed Thrace (and for Illyria, Britannia) for this. Also, apart from a huge number of features especially the ZOR+ concept they're very interested in trying to solve the weak Seleucid problem in which even RTR can't get away completely, yet. (The empire was the most powerful at 280 B.C. but in the game, they're the underdog, despite the size.)
