This is so Ironic, because the Roman Republic was found on ideals shown in this video, aggresive and expansionist consuls who only had a short amount of time to achieve glory and prestige, so would often try to do as much as possible with little regard for what comes after their time in office is finished.

Would be also really cool to see each player representing different in-game ruler. So for example there is some great ruler who lives for pretty long, does some great stuff and then when he dies player changes. Someone lives longer, someone is less lucky This way players could, for example, make themselves a general(if ruler got good stats as general) and risk their life to win in important war. Also if its regency then its next players aswell. Regency over? Next please. I personally think this got some potential.

Then, the total carry in the last 80 years, that was something else. I would've love to have a list of everyone participating with the rating they had.

You know, the mentality of I only have x amount of years in power to accrue as much glory and prestige as possible, is one of the main reasons the Roman Republic conquered so much territory in real life, so it's pretty fitting that you did this with the long term goal being the reformation of the Roman Empire.

For a version in the future. Maybe include one mini mod. Every 5 years on Jan 2nd elect a new ruler that’s a 2/2/5 or other, so it’s average the whole time. And maybe give them the ability to rename the ruler. And since it was always multiplayer, what if each person has to post 1 message in the discord chat describing their time and what they’re trying to do, to be read by the next person. I think discord limits characters too so you shouldn’t get too many novels. But that’d be a fun piece of culture. Next campaign also… ? Theodoro must form Germany? Or bundelkhand into Germany (same flag, old meme) The discord chat is also a place that you could use to make it more roleplay, when you said everyone trying to make their mark on the game causing AE, I couldn’t help but think of every Roman consul wanting to be a special boy in his one year. So pretty accurate, but maybe if you had them write it from the perspective of a 5year consulship trying to create their own legacy when they post at the end?
