I want to play as Augustus

[playshogi]

It will be difficult to say "I want to play as Augustus" instead of "I want to play as Rome". It seems backward to me. I get that Rome collapsed, but Augustus died and empires last longer than any leader. It would have been easier to allow the modding community to create leaders for the civilizations which would be cosmetic only. When you advance to the new age you would pick your new bonuses and new, cosmetic leader persona. That way, I could play as Rome and have a serious-looking leader created by the community instead of the childish cartoons created by Firaxis.
