The easiest way to fulfill your wish is to mod Rome, since it already has the engine required to handle all the gameplay mechanics that you want*. Of course, it would still take months.
*-At least since you said there is research in Rome. I don't remember any ability to research, but I've barely played the game, so I might be wrong.

IF somebody wonders, there is NO research in Rome TW. What it actually contains are pre-planned events notifying players about occurrences of inventions of watermill, compass, gunpowder, etc. Also, it contains some game-mechanics absent in Dominions, such as combat bonus in certain terrain, or fear caused to infantry/cavalry only (famous camels!). And it doesn't contain magic or, e.g. flight. And this is without mentioning such negligible fact that RTW uses 3D real-time tactical engine...
There was an attempt at WarHammer Total War mod, but I'm not sure how close it came to modelling fantasy, as I personally couldn't make it work at all. And at the time of its disappearance from the Web its authors made only 3 WarHammer armies - Empire, some Chaos & High Elves.
As for Dominions mod - you would probably need to re-write main game engine to include provincial buildings..
hmm.. It was a joke, right?

There is research you need to put pplz on it else nothing happens... but it's slow (sort of a returning thing in that game )

Wrana I see you say rome TW, which I guess is Rome: total war.. which probably is a nice game but I've not seen it.. I'm talking about Europa Universalis: Rome

Europe Universalis: Rome looks like something I would enjoy playing.

I was playing around with ideas for a game that I wanted to design when I found Dominions. Dominions came so close to what I wanted to do that I found myself playing it instead of pursuing my own gaming project. There are still many elements that it seems will never come to Dom (like external, script-able AI) so I have begun picking at my old project again. My point is that this is a perfectly reasonable request. Who knows, there might be a programmer out there with skill (unlike myself ) who might be inspired.

Ballbarian:

EU:Rome is even worse than EU. Like EU3 could get like 3/4 out of 10 Rome would get 2/3 out of 10 max. Really, Europa Universalis is a game with good idea but poor design. Even historical accuracy is not there.
