no map selling
playing Britons without attacking Gauls
playing Germanians without building new spearbands

Do you have any suggestions?
If you go to descr_strat you can mod a couple of the factions to be monsters: e.g give their characters higher management/ command levels, give them a better starting army and a bigger balance, change their character to napoleon or ceasar and give them better starting buildings.

I changed the Germans and carthage and you would not believe the difference it makes to my Julii campaign! Carthage attacked Rome in 261BC and the Germans have crossed the Alps. Much more exciting
