We could have a situation where players have to wait and wait for other players to resolve their battles...
The solution is for players whos factions are NOT engaged in a battle to have the option of playing as the enemy faction in battles against players whos factions ARE in a battle. In other words, if all the factions are AI except Germany and Carthage which are played by human players than when Carthage gets in a battle with Egypt (or any other faction) the player playing Germany gets to play as Egypt but only during the battle.
