For example: In the Vanilla campaign (original version), I used to "block" the other factions in order to play each campaign simultaneously. I would usually use the Brutii, and immediately take Sicily. This would usually paralyze the Scipii (esp once I took Cathage, which is game over for the Scipii). Then I would have built a general and small army, and with some mercs I would attack Gaul and block in the Julii. I would have to attack Spain and Illyria too, just to make sure, because they tend to attack those places. Finally, I would take Greece, which is what the Senate wanted me to do to begin with. If you work really hard, you can do all 3 at the same time, cripple the other factions, and build a massive Pre-Marius/civil war single faction empire.
Here's a trick: In order to keep an elderly general/family member alive: Save each turn (not the autosave) before you hit the end of turn button. There is a chance they will still live. Do this every turn and you can live a LONG life.
