Brilliant Idea!!!
Ive never thought about it myself, but I guess its pretty cool.
Anyway Roleplaying the Romani is just too much fun, exspecially the Augustus Reforms.
I've heard of a similar idea using diplomats to relay orders from Leaders to generals - a general can only make large strategic decisions once the 'diplomat' hands over the orders - means generals aren't limited by seasons per se, but rather by how long it takes diplomat to get there.
