How can the "Avatar Conquest" multiplayer mode be incorporated into Rome II?

[Kraut and Tea]

For me personaly the best thing about Shogun 2 was the multiplayer, which had really improved when compared to previous games.
Best of all certainly was the avatar conquest mode.

I keep asking myself how this mode will be incorporated in Rome II.
After all, the only reason why it worked in Shogun 2 was because the faction werent that different - there were no cultural differences and almoust non amongst the units.
So "creating" your own clan and chosing from a set of units which were available to all Japanese clans during that timeperiod was pritty plausible and didnt hurt the multiplayer expirience at all.

Yet with Rome II, I doubt that that will be possible.
If you were to create a general for that mode in Rome II and the mode wouldnt change at all, you would have armies of such an enormous diversity (from all factions) that it would (in my opinion) hurt the expirence quite a bit.

After the announcement of the recent "Greek cities" DLC, I think I might be capable on making a guess on how the mode might be incorporated into Rome II.
I think that like in Shogun 2, you will be capable of creating various avatars, in Shogun 2 - the looks of that avatar, aswell as the units they can recrute are determined by the time period.

My guess is, that in Rome II, it will be possible to create various avatars and that their main differences between each other will be determined by "culture".
For example: If you create an avatar from the "Greek culture" you will be capable of recuting units for your multiplayer battles which are on the campainmap restricted to Sparta, Athens, Macedon and Epirus.

Your thoughts?

Shogun was the first time I played Total War Multiplayer. I liked the the avatar conquest, it was like a meta-rpg.

I think it could easily be integrated. The Romans used auxiliaries, so did the Greeks etc (Alexander allowed Eastern troops in his army). Trajan's column shows exotic looking auxiliaries; additionally, in 200 AD there was a Roman Spartan cohort.
