The original question could be paraphrased as "What could someone who knew all the state of the art of 2012 do in the era of ancient Rome?"
The answer to that question is not something that no one in 2012 is able to do. Also, as wedrifid said, it isn't that interesting to notice that someone who can modify the utility functions of others at relatively low cost is able to defeat a major empire.
Since when you reckon, it is forbidden to go a little out of the initial post settings?
If not forbidden, then a cause for a downvote?
