I know people love their historical accuracy and that's great for choosing your 'start point' but the main aim of the game (unless roleplaying) is to change history so having fixed titles is very limiting to anyone who doesn't start out in or work to usurp one of the emperor titles as it leaves you holding many king titles that practically everyone desires.
I've seen screen shots of people who have conquered the world and they have all done it under emperor titles (that i have seen). Why should players be limited to making one of the failing empires (which in this game aren't really failing enough) great again when they could turn one of the emerging powers into an empire which is probably closer to the historical truth anyway.
I agree maybe there should be big penalties for proclaiming yourself an emperor but i think you should be able to, along with that the ability to merge crowns (say after 50years of them being united etc etc).
