I was wondering where I found those ideas so familiar from, halfway reading the post. I must admit, I was bumping the concept around in my head...

I'm a little RP skittish as of late, but a total war base, being a veteran of the series for well over a decade, does have its effect.

The various expansions seem most plausible to me, I don't think we would be able to fill enough slots and keep them active for something based off the grand campaign - though for other contexts I'd suggest Italy, Spain, Scandinavia/Russia(Novgorod)/Germans/Poland area, city states of Russia with mongols looming, (hoping this one wouldn't be too touchy, it isn't for me, but eh) crusades/middle east (again, assuming we would be able to work past political garbage related to today), French/English war with surrounding nations, and the region around and including the Byzantine empire, all concepts I've mentally bounced around in the past.

Hmmm how about the Britannia Campaign, that has only 5 factions plus occasional insurgencies and upstart rebellions such as the Baron's Alliance.
Even if all the factions aren't filled as OP I could controll the "AI's", I would certainly be willing to do that?

Or would you, like you said, prefer Italy and Spain for example or the Crusades?I'm really open and eager for any of it really.
