Does FactionTurnStart trigger for extinct factions?

I've destroyed the Romans as Epeiros, but I want the AI fallback Polybian Reforms to trigger. Does FactionTurnStart still trigger if the Romans are dead, or do I have to allow a reemergent faction revolt to occur?

Doesn't matter whether or not they're alive, the ultimate fallback script uses the Rebel turn.

By "ultimate" do you mean this snippet of code?

if I_IsFactionAIControlled f_rome ;;; automatic reforms for AI Rome
and I_TurnNumber > 200
and I_EventCounter ecCamillanEra > 0
set_event_counter ecCamillanEra 0
set_event_counter ecPolybianEra 1
terminate_monitor
end_if

No, I mean the backup in the Calendar Events section towards the end of the script.

Thanks. I see it now. I don't want to wait till turn 254 so I'm just gonna crank taxes in Capua to max and disband the entire garrison. Idk how to explain this move roleplaying-wise though...
