How do you play Rome: Total War as someone other than the Romans?

[HeroOfPellinor]

The manual has this line under the section "How To Win."

If you're playing as any other non-Roman faction, the basic victory ocndition is very simple: conquer the world!

I see now way to start a single player campaign as anybody but the three Roman factions. Am I missing something or do you need to unlock that option or something?

I think its unlock. Beat the game using a roman faction.

or cheat
