Pergamon, Herakleia Pontika, Kappadokia.


Obsessed with Asia Minor, me? No way!!!

Okay, so what about Pergamon, the Bosporan kingdom, and the Northern League (led by Herakleia Pontika and Byzantion), plus dump the Koinon Hellenon and replace them with just Rhodes. Dumping a faction that rarely ammounts to much in the game, such as the Casse, could also make way for Syracuse. Obviously, you'd need to remove a province (isn't Gotland a one-island province that never gets conquere dby the AI?) to make way for Herakleia Pontika and her territory, and you'd need to cut Pontos off from the sea at game start (unless they already held Amisos? when did they gain this city?).
