Absolutly. With the Romans, one of the Successors or the Parthians you have some kind of "mission" to subdue large parts of the maps that's somehow lacking when playing a Barbarian faction. For example, it does feel somewhat odd when creating something like the Ottonian Empire with the Sweboz, try to unite all Celts across the map with the Aedui or hopping over to Africa with the Lusotans.
I have now (re-)started a Casse campaign. This time I did not disband my ship and army but crossed the channel to get my hands on Belgia proper. So far I am enjoying it very much and I am looking foreward to the "Hundred Years Wars" with the Aedui while at the time very slowly expanding in Britain.
