Most of Italy's cities ended up as allied states till about 90BC as it is...so it would make sense historically. Would this be a valid addition to EB2 to make Roma a little more historically correct?
Agree with Wolfshart on this one, except the territories. Outside of a few cities Rome had virtually complete domination of Italy, as represented, by 272BC. I just wish I could manage to model what Rome actually did and control Tarentum and Regium by the end of 270BC

As to the level of Romanisation, Campania could be heavily Romanised (Type 2 or even Type 1 at a stretch), with others being Lightly Romanised (Type 3)......with Rome Type 1 of course. These 'lesser' levels of government do not exclude the building of Factional MIC's (up to a certain level) so this shouldn't be viewed as a justification for not doing so.
