You could always make your campaign longer by extending the dates in descr_strat text file @ C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion

Make a back-up copy first, so you won't have to reinstall BI to get the original text files All you have to do is change the start and / or end dates in the second section down in this text file (directly under the playable faction section). Not sure if there are hard-coded limits on these dates, might be best to check in the RTW Modding forum before giving yourself 400 years to complete a campaign
