Do you mean can you conquer the entire map? Yes you can, when you've captured 50 provinces and Rome the victory screen will ask if you want to continue. Click yes, then keep fighting until there's nobody left to fight. AARs stop, probably because it gets a bit boring. If you have something in the region of 70+ territories, it's very hard to keep track of what units are where and all careful strategy seems to go out the window because you have enough money and enough armies to simply swamp your enemies. Also you own so much land that you can guarantee that you'll be fighting a load of little battles against rebels every turn. The game slows down and becomes somewhat clunky after 50 provinces. I've conquered the world three times, first with the Julii, then Macedon, and last week I finally did it with Greece. It's very hard to maintain my interest in a single campaign long enough to do it. The amount of times I started a Greek campaign, conquered about 70 provinces and should have carried on to the end, but lost interest and either started another Greek campaign from scratch or went to another faction entirely.

The game starts to lose its steam soon after you become clearly the most powerful faction on the map. There is no fun when you can simply walk all over and trash your opponents.

LuckyLuciano - didn't see you there! I haven't any screenshots sadly. There's not much to see anyway, it's just the same old map but everything's the same colour.
