Either way, the stress would certainly have had to be put on the interpersonal conflict, not the conflict between the Horsemen and the world at large. ;-)
Oh, and I totally agree on the Kalas thing - I thought that was a little weak, too.

"It would have been quite interesting to see Kronos' reaction at failure, in fact. Such an experience might have rendered him even more dangerous and more difficult for Methos to handle. :-) "
Most definitely, megalomaniacs generally do not recognize failure and the reprisals to the Horsemen, those around them and the general public could have been interesting.
"Either way, the stress would certainly have had to be put on the interpersonal conflict, not the conflict between the Horsemen and the world at large. ;-)"
Yep, for all its touching on history HL was all about the personal relationships and impacts not the "global" impact of events. I think that was what made it a success. And Kronos could have added much complexities to the relationship dynamic in HL.
