Unfortuantly, the requirements to reach the last two are, so to say, to have allready won the game. That is played to the point in the game where the remainging AI factions can't even be a bit of a challenge.

I think, starting the Romans with the Marian or Imperial line up is not wasting the experince of the mod but having a complete different experince of the mod at all.
