This post from ER reminds me the doubts I have for a long time about the senate missions.

Do you mean that in that case the first mission for the Julii won't be Segesta?
Will it be another objective due to the distance?
Even in that case, must Segesta be in the map?
What would happen with a campaign with only senate and julii? Should Apollonia and Syracuse be also in the map?
