The idea I had was something like this:
Players will play as the senators in the Roman Senate. They make decisions and elect people to offices just like in previous games but this time they don't play as in-game characters(generals, agents). Players are free to create their own character.
Generals and agents can be controlled by any player with the proper authority. For example Consul can move every army whether they are general led or not.
This does not take away the chance for a player to lead army like in previous games. They just need the Senate to elect them to lead it. Also, this means that players can take control over armies that are otherwise too far.
For example: Senate elects Player A to control 3rd Legion that is in Egypt. In previous games you needed ships to carry your avatar to Egypt but in this time you can take control over that Legion right after the Senate session ends.
Anyway, I hope this explains a little bit better what I had in mind.

And I'm not starting anything in the next few months.
