Thanks guys, appreciate the responses. Feature length would be fun, but a lot of work, and I'd need a good story. Plus, I'm not sure how I could fit together the story, I suppose I could use titles or voice acting, but the RTW engine doesn't really support any scenes except warfare, and there needs to be in between scenes in a good story to connect the battles. For example, I was thinking of doing a film based off of Julius Caesar's conquest of gaul (which I just finished reading his version of the event so it is fresh in my mind), but I'm not sure how I would connect the various battles. Just a dry explanation title between them or is there a way I could portray meetings of Caesar and his officers and him and the gallic chieftains using the engine. Also, I have difficulty sometimes getting the AI to behave properly so I'd probably have to use multiplayer, and some of the battles would be difficult to portray without making a custom map (which I have no knowledge on how to do though I'm sure I can figure it out). I'll have to think on it some more, but I'll take any ideas anyone has. I'd also be interested in any non-roman stories of the classical period that I could realistically portray, I would prefer a story seldom told of a far away and largely forgotten people.
