My record for re-election is 11 times. In game terms that 22 years! Very few emperors even ruled that long. In reality that guy would have been whacked long before he got there. problem is that that isn't too unusual. It was rare, of course, for anyone to be Consul more than once. I don't even think Augustus was consul that often and he awarded it to himself.
The women thing seem to be tied to the death of the husbands. For some reason they enter the pool for people you can use as governors or magistrates upon hubbies death. Hopefully it's a bug and will get fixed. i have a suspicion though.
You're right: it is a fun enough game. For all it's faults (and god knows they are legion,) I've begun to quite enjoy it. I modded the research rate so I doesn't take until 1978 ad for the Romans to invent roads, but I think there is a lot of work to be done to techs and national ideas via modding.
Personally, I'm looking into the possibility of semi-historical events being fired if certain conditions are met. I would just like something a bit more unique than what is there just now.
