The only way I´d ever play to 14AD was if I got really addicted to a campaign. Seeing it suddenly end would be a true relief.
Actually, I can't show you anyone, Herr General, because I don't know of anyone who's so; but it would be a nice thing to keep in mind that I have plenty of time with which to take on the whole of Europe and Asia, because I like my campaigns to be taken slowly, deliberately, and to savor every moment of it. EB [0.8, 1.0, or 1.1] is meant to be a realistic simulation of empire-building, and the Roman Empire was able to limp along until well beyond A.D.500. Would asking for a little more time till A.D.100 (if it were possible to be built into the game) too much to ask? After all, I think if a campaign lasts until A.D.14 and beyond, the main problem is how to handle revolts and rebellions, and not just trying to conquer more lands or factions, and that would give a different [but interesting] flavor to one's game. I don't believe that it would be an addiction, but being more of satisfying one's thirst to prove to himself his true mettle.
And, actually, I don't play much of other games (although I do a little of them) than RTW and its derivatives (not even much of M:TW or M2TW); and to play a very long campaign until the unquestionable conclusion is, for me, total satisfaction.
Have a very good life ahead. Hawooh.
