that is indeed a shame....But perhaps a mimi-mod can be worked out to swap Syracuse for another faction if a player likes...For players that are into the Punic Wars and like playing on that part of the map ( central med, Greece)

When you say "stand alone" does that mean that it may be included as non-playable faction?

All factions will be playable, I believe they have stated that. I could be unsure, but I believe that MAA has also said one slot might be reserved for a scripting faction -shrug-.

Correct on both counts.

Noobie question but what does scripting faction mean?

I don´t know the details but in EB1 after the inclusion of the Saba whom occupied the Roman Senate´s faction slot, certain scrips from some reason just didn´t work anymore, such as the one about Alexander´s Tomb, Baktria breaking away and I believe the Anabasis.

Ahhh. So the equivalent in MW2 would be using the papal faction as the "scripting faction" no doubt?

My top hope is for a Bosporan faction, because of the interesting position and mix of Hellenic and Steppe culture.

One of those Greek cities in Iberia might be interesting too.
