Ok, if Stig is unable to continue playing, it seems I will be taking over for the Byzantines (luckily for me, they're my favorite faction). Any alliances and agreements will require renegotiation, not so much because of plans to change them, but so that I may become aware of them (and don't stupidly, say, attack my best and oldest ally or something).
P.S. Now I'm off to read the whole thread and catch up.
