2. Mediterranian, 8-5th century BC. The age of greek colonization. This game would simulate the conflicts in greece leading to colonization, and the establishment of colonies and their struggles. It would also feature conflicts with other local powers, the encroaching Persians, the rise of nations such as Rome and Carthage, and the conflicts between greek civilization and these emerging threats. IMO this period preceeding the Persian wars, Peloponnesian wars, and the rise of Rome is just as interesting, if not even more interesting than the latter. But clearly, this game would have as natural expansions, all these popular conflicts.
Or,
3. Mongol invasion PROPER. Starting with the rise of Genghis Khan, his consolidation of the mongolian tribes, continuing with his and his successors conquest of one part of the world after another. The challange for players would first be to emulate his success, and even outdo the Mongols by conquering regions such as India, Africa, Japan and Europe. This game would really offer a grand scale to TW, and present scores of diverse factions, either letting you conquer them as the Mongols, or resist and compete with some of the smaller factions.
