altough the idea of making one of teh hard-coded-Roman-famalies an allie with rome is nice. altough I'd then vote Sarmatian's or something else on roman land.
Rome's client states ware opportunistic and profited from roman civil wars. Burebista's Dacia and Cleopatra's Egypt prove this. The teritories gained by Numidia ensured that Numidia stayed loyal to it's roman patrons. They are a good alternative to the Scipii faction. They're history proves they are worthy of being part of EB in the roman camp that is.
As I know, when civil war breaks up, a roman faction can remain alliedwith another one.

Cronos save Numidia!
