Hi there!

I just had a freeze playing as the Roman Empire on legendary difficulty.

The Civil War went quite smoothly and, towards the end of it, I decided to attack theBreuci-faction in Pannonia to continue my expansion.
However, during the turn-end-screen, they attacked me and the game froze.

The savegame as Roman Empire is totally useless now, and reloading the last file (from the turn in which I attacked the Breuci and when I was asked whether I wanted to continue playing as a Republic or Empire) didn't bring up the decision again.
In the politics-screen, I can neither bribe, marry, or assasinate any characters, so the Civil War apparently counts as over and done.

So, long story short, is there any way I can get the Empire-status again?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Nevada
