I believe that a modification based upon the Belisarius Series by Drake, would make a very interesting Total War campaign.
Factions would make up ...
Roman Empire (ruled from Constantinople/Byzantium)
Persian Empire
Ethiopian Kingdom
Malwa Empire
- Protectorates of Malwa
Kush (or could rebel to form their own kindom if possible, and then would be part of the Empire)
plus many more.
Would span from probably as west as Greece to as east as modern day Thailand, from as far north as northern Thrace, to as far south as the southern most point in Ethiopia.
War would be mainly swords/cavalry/archers etc, for a long time, with Malwa gaining access to very crude gunpower units (mainly bulky (BULKY, cannons) but can produce mass quantities, rather cheaply. The Roman Empire would gain access to gunpower units several years later, and they would be of higher quality, but very expensive, and only replaceable in some core provinces in the Empire (Rhodes/Constintinople probably)
Makes for very interesting battles, and would be a fun mod.
Is there any interest? If so, I'll go dig up some of my books, and maybe even finish reading off the series.
