So why exactly do the Casse exist in EB, anyway? Seems like faction slots are a major limitation, and this one appears to do almost nothing. They didn't do anything historically, they don't do anything under AI control (I don't count conquering the British Isles as "doing anything" since no other faction really cares that they do so). I'm sure they're a fine hands-off faction for testing, and apparently they're fun for players. But people talk about Numidia, or Syracuse, or I'd think a second Sweboz-like faction up in the Poland/Russia area to resist bizarre AI Greek/Roman expansion in that direction would all be more valuable than a bunch of blue guys just sitting around in the corner swimming in huge piles of gold (I think AI Casse has over a million mnai banked in my campaign).
Anyway, this is not meant as a criticism, I'm sure there's a good reason for the Casse being in the game. But I've been puzzled by that for quite some time, and this seems like a good chance to ask about it...
