Been playing Field of Glory Empires. Played as Epirus in conquest of west only conquesting west from Greece to Spain. Have left the rest to their own destiny.
Have refused decadence usury, minting coins,prostitution, Noble Districts, Noble Garden, slave markets, circus, gambling ring, racing tracks, gladiator schools, monuments dedicated to head of state and second palaces, delicacies shops, trade ports, and others. Have ruled through focus on knowledge academies,libraries , and army, infrastructure, agriculture, culture and some fair trading avoiding monopolies and nepotism especially to outsider elements who gain wealth through manipulation of market/corruption/bribery ,nepotism and monopolism.
The game is far better than Imperator Rome.
