Afterall, in the game I believe it is possible to destroy the senate faction as Rome and continue on as Emperor. Or something like that.

For a first modding project I was thinking creating a Persian war mod so you could have the Greeks against Persians earlier on. Clearly the game engine is capable of this (TC) and it would be great to be able to play some of the TC battles yourself rather than watch idiots do their best to lose.
Hmmm good idea, simply just draw back the starting date to say 500 B.C and then rock on could work quite well, just modify the starting positions.... one has to hope there is a way to give the Persians some incentive to attack the Greek cities and not instead go along the northern Black sea coast, or south of the Med
