One idea which could work out well I think is an option to simulate Napoleon's career in a way similar to the game below:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Empereur
At first, you start out as the commander of the army of Italy, then as you gain military successes, you move on to higher positions with more possibilities.
I also very much liked the economic management aspects and necessity of training newly recruited troops in the game, although the military system certainly had weaknesses.
