The same thing had happened to me in one of my past campaigns as well playing as the Maks on 0.81av2. Epeiros was reduced to Taras and I gave them every turn about 5.000 mnai presents until they conquered Arpi, Capua, Rhegion, Messana, Syrakousai and Lilibeo. I was having quite a lot of fun, I moved through Illyria to the northern Romani lands and we (me and the Epeirotai which I forced to become my allies) kind of ''sandwiched'' them. They attacking from the south and me with Alkyoneus leading one huge army attacking from the north. I soon took Roma and ruled over the northern lands of Italy, till cities turned blue due to my impatience in installing proper governments and governors to those cities...
