2. It probably sounds rather greedy, but are such reforms planned for other factions which start off uncentralised? Such as the Sweboz, Lusitanians, the Dacians, Casse, and possibly Saba? I really like the idea of limiting such factions at the start to prevent completely a-historical steamrollering.

Again, great work! This is the kind of thing I love in EB. And yeah, the descriptions are really good, nice and indepth.
1. Achaemenid Persia, at its height, extended further than this. But this zone of reforming provinces represents the heartland and the most important provinces. Baktria was incredibly important as was Syria, so I used those two as boundaries. I didn't want to head south into egyptian land or anatolia as I felt they weren't really in the zone I wanted to focus on.

2. If other factions want to use a similar system they are more than welcome to, but they would need to dicuss that amongst themselves as to what is the most appropriate.
