Playing on the Smaller Maps, Is It a Good Idea?

There's not too much invested, like a total war campaign. You can set big, crazy golls for yourself in this game and make your own fun. There are all kinds of little easter eggs, hidden bits to do. If you're playing as the senator, if you take the capital, you can make yourself the emperor. And there's an alternate chain as the senator where if you find an opening into not hell, but the underworld,. I try n to remember what it's called.
