Been playing this mod for a little while now, and I just want to say that it is superb! The setting is great, and desperately trying to hold on to a few rebellious provinces with depleted armies while getting slapped by every barbarian in sight is definitely a new and more exciting challenge than the steamrolling you normally see when playing as Rome!
