AHC: Etruscans replace rome

The Etruscans would likely remain a regional power. In order for them to be a real force, one of the city-states would have to unite all the others and create a single Etruscan nation. Veii, Clusium, and Perusia are all possibilities.

And yes, they would be in conflict almost constantly. Samnites, Latins, Ligures, Sabines, Senones, not to mention the Greeks and Carthaginians.

If the Etruscans could keep control of Corsica after the Battle of Alalia and not allow it to be absorbed by the Carthaginians, that might bring interesting consequences as far as an Etruscan navy.

Is it possible for one of the city states to unite the others and how would it do that (because I think the other city states won't like it to become part of another city state)
 
I wouldn't count so much on a single city state as much as one of the previously-mentioned leagues that then goes on to absorb the other leagues... A league headed by Curtun (Cortona) or Velzna (Volsinii) would probably be your best bet.
