Am I Being to Ambitious?

I wanted to know if it would be possible to do a playthrough of every faction (all 21) within a two month or so time period while playing 10 hours a week or so?

Should be doable. Might take a little more than 10 hours a week, though- (at least at my play speed)

It'll be tough. Kinda boring too to keep doing it one after the other. You'd have to debate over auto-resolving or not, and if you deem a "playthrough" conquering the whole map or just fulfilling the victory conditions.

I'm deeming it victory conditions if I went for this all faction thing, either that or I may just pick 7 or so for full out conquer.

Victory conditions are the short or the long?
Ah, the short ones can be finished less than one faction a day. But 7 factions full campaign over a duration of 2 months? Seems achieveable. (For you that is, It would take me 2 months for one faction alone)

what difficulty?

It would probably be long conditions because you need them when you finish short anyway.

Would probably waver, I'll start at M/M or so and probably go up as I go along.

7 factions sounds like it might be achievable. What 7 factions are we talking about here?

I picked:
Carthage
Macedon
Seleucids
Gaul
Germania
Numidia
Greek city states
to do based on my likes and styles of play etc.

After you get done with a quarter of the factions, you've basically played all or most of the unit types.

If you're bored, then I suggest you download the Europa Barbarorum mod, the best total-conversion mod I've ever played. It has an insane
amount of new content along with an insane amount of historical research (every unit, every building, every year, etc has a page or two of historical background info)

(imo, it beats RTR and Roma Surrectum)
