To be? Or not to be? Epirus as a faction or not?

[ahowl11]

It's this simple. Should I include Epirus as a faction, or should it not? The mod starts in 280 BC., the way the map is set up Epirus would get two regions, Ambracia and Apollonia. Pyrrhus would be in Italy. Or I could simulate Pyrrhus with the Greeks or rebels. Regardless on what you decide to vote on, please give your reasoning, and please list what faction Epirus should replace. The poll will be up for ten days and you can change your vote if you change your mind. Thanks!

The current faction list is

The Roman Republic
The Republic of Carthage
The Antigonid Kingdom
The Seleucid Empire
The Ptolemaic Empire
The Kingdom of Pontus
The Kingdom of Armenia
Parthians
Numidians
The Greek City States
Gauls
Germans
Dacians
Iberians
Sarmatians
Thracians
Britons
Illyrians
The Bosporan Kingdom
The Nabataean Kingom
Rebels

What faction would be ousted in favor of the Epirotes?

That's for you to decide! I have edited the OP and there is a poll. Please vote and give your reasoning and what faction you think should be replaced 

[comrade_general]

Yes. Remove the Britons. CA just put them there to be patriotic anyway.

That would be one of the factions that I'd consider using. And that brings up another question. As of right now, the Britons will only own one province. In other mods they never do anything if they don't own a region on the mainland right? They usually just stay in Briton? If that's the case I may change them to Epirus for the fact that they don't do anything and because it would make gameplay better.

[comrade_general]

Those reasons are also valid.

Hmmm, now I'm full of ideas. I will make another thread about it. Voters, please comment why you voted! This closes in 10 days

Epirus just has waaay too much of an interesting starting position. But the amount of factions around it might endanger it's existence (which would be historical, though)... honestly, I think kind of similarly to CG over the Briton,s but when controlled by the player then can turn out to be quite interesting.

I'd take out either Dacia or Thrace. They're quite similar and too close together. Having both of them would make the area waaay to congested.

Okay, after some heavy thinking I have decided to add The Kingdom of Epirus in as a faction, replacing the Nabataean Kingdom. I know it has not been 10 days but hey I've been thinking about it for three days straight. Topic closed
