Nonetheless, he could glean something from it. Patrician was well done, especially within the limitations o the vanilla MTW engine.

A suggestion to your roster would be to add more Celtic/Germanic/Iberian factions. These were VERY fractituos people, and can't really be represented by single unified factions. As a suggestion, split the "Gauls" into the Aedui and Averni, split the "Germans" into the sweboz and the Teutons and/or Cimbri. Also, add the Getai for balance in the east. Sorry if it sounds like I'm making your game a EB clone, but I don't want such a good idea to end up like RTW either...
