exactly. this is a historic mod, so no, they probably won't give any real territory, aside from what is already in EB I.

a neighboring tribe, like that in himyar** or qataban**, or even a Omani faction (tribe of azd*) would be a better idea, as it has been my observation that having multiple factions close to one another increases activity (look at gaul, AS, ptolies, etc).


*I don't know for sure if they were unified at the time, though I know the lakhmids and ghassanids came from there, and they were very quarrelsome. perhaps its just distance in time and place?

**strabo did IIRC mention both, especially qataban (Cattabania), so they would ave existed in the EB time frame. but whether they were of any importance politically in the EB timeframe is a mystery. I know Himyar was the top dog from c.100AD on to 525AD, but not about beore hand.
