Yea, you need to capture imperial settlements until you get 2/3 of the empire... after that the triple alliance starts and you will get focused by the 3 stronger factions ( this depends on power of the kingdom on trigger moment ) Wharever you do get mounted patrols and keen sight before... trust me you're gonna need it.

But the wars were so bad that not even the Romans could confidently say what was going on here. This has been the case for most of human history outside of the Mediterranean. We never wrote our own history in those days, the Romans did. Without them we wouldn't even have known that much about our ancient Norse gods! So indeed, there was still integrations and some cultures were lost, like in the game, but a world of constant tribal warfare has no history.

This is the alternate ending. Not the actual ending.
According to warband, the empire does fall.
Warband is mostly set on the western part of Calradia, the survival of the Southern Empire (byzantine like) would be plausible
