Total War: Attila
#20
Well Aetius and Stilicho didn't want to be Emperors because they understood the downsides to it far outweighed the status. Any attempt to usurp their emperors would result in an immediate military response from the East, and the West had enough problems as it was with the Barbarians, and didn't have the military capacity to take on the far larger Eastern Roman army. This is why when Valentinian III wanted to rule both halves of the Empire in 450 after Theodosius died, Aetius told him no.
