What faction should WE play as?

[Titus Marcellus Scato]

Also, there should be only one or two players that need to play the game per turn. If the save-game needs to go through four players to advance one turn (Spartan Hegemon, Athenian Hegemon, Spartan Strategos, Athenian Strategos) you will be lucky to do three turns per week.

Agreed - although in this case, Molinaargh suggests that only he actually plays the campaign, and the rest of us simply tell him what we want him to do with our generals, troops and cities. Also, if we go for one player per city, instead of one player per family member, that will cut down the number of players needed.
