During the simulation of Traders and Invaders, I was rather happy with my role of the Vandal tribe of Barbarians, but if I had to pick something else I would have like to have been an emperor that fled to Constantinople. The reason that I would have liked to have been an emperor is that while the Barbarians had enough power to overthrow Rome, they did not have enough power to attack Constantinople, and so the Byzantine Empire lasted until 1453 A.D.

The reason that I did not want to be a province, is that the Barbarian had more that enough power to overthrow multiple provinces, and many provinces did not last long. The provinces also had to convince the Romans to protect them in exchange for goods, and by that point, the Romans left them to die.
