I also don't see Saba as essential to EB. "missions" could be much cooler, I think.

Most of the other stuff seems to be hardcoded, like choosing a general or governor.

The turns are rather long, if that could be reduced it would help.

The AI could be more aggressive. When you are surrounded by slaves you are pretty much safe, as only factions will actively attack you, and I think you should have to guard against eleutheroi as well.

It would be nice if command stars weren't QUITE so hard to earn. When a General gets several heroic victories I would think that would make him more than a mediocre tactician.

The way traits are earned and you have to manage your generals is something I LOVE about EB. Anything you can do to add on to or enhance this would be awesome.



That's all I can think of currently. Will post more if I can think of them.
