You would be even more disappointed if your wish came true, believe me.

When Octavian came to adulthood and reached for power for himself, at this time Cassius was already dead and Marc Antony was about to die or also dead, after being stolen by Cleopatra from before MC's pretty nose. So if you have romanced one or both of these gentlemen, you'd be... VERY disappointed...

Beware what you wish...

Desire and Decorum doesn't mess with historical characters, as far I know (or at least not so much as ACoR), what gives the writer more freedom to play with heroes' fates.

ACoR is mine favourite too, despite its flaws, but I'd rather keep it standalone than spoiled by weak continuation, as it happened to many franchises (books, movies, games) like Star Wars, Pokemon etc. where producers treated their work as gold-producing machine.
