I like the fact that I can't see exactly how the politics/nation-building plays out.So far:* England becoming a stand-alone nation - but will assist in 'smacking down barbarians".* Gaul - May go the same way as England, or may not, based on the fact they are too close to the'Diminished, but powerful', Roman Empire.* Rome (dimminished but still powerful)Can Rome get over:  The Strongest soldier Rules !Therefore any man who wants to be Emperor (or the power behind the Emperor) has to provehe can beat anyone who approaches him in power - not matter how much weaker that makescivilization.Come-On guys, focus on slamming the Barbarians and find a Political Solution so that the Roman Emperordoesn't have to go to war with anyone (civilized) who develops any military power.Plus I see some signs of commercial/economic power being mentioned in the story line.I want more of that. Let's get some ships sailing and some traders trading..
