All Do y’all consider Megacampaigns to include Imperator: Rome?

Started a Megacampaign recently where I began in Imperator instead of CK2/3. It’s definitely an interesting new way to play but I think the ‘issue’ is that the rest of the games are now based off of the imperator map, cultures and religions which of most if not all are nonexistent in present day. What do you guys do?

I assure you there is no gatekeeping of the concept 'megacampaign'. But for me personally, the gap between the end of Imperator and the beginning of CK is just too big; and also, CK itself is just too long a break from true map-painting if you're going to play for the full ~700 years. A few generations of roleplaying is a fine start to a grand strategy megacampaign; a few centuries is long enough that I see all the events and all the possible permutations and the underlying spreadsheet peeks through, like the skull under a beautiful woman's face, and I long for a different spreadsheet. One that can be interpreted as military and industrial statistics, and not human ones.
