I got Augustus but the Augustan reforms. How? Well, after a over the top fast campaign in 1.0 I had all the requirements for the Augustan reforms in...sometime around 220 BC, and a sometime around there I got an Augustus too.
Problem is, it´s about 100 years left until the reforms can hit. I´ve been trying to play that campaign every now and then, not expanding, just holding the VC´s. It´s fun, especially after I took all bordering provinces and gifted them to an ally or neutral. Baktria has like 6 provinces near Syria and Babylonia.
