Well, Gilgamesh was also less of an ass during the latter years of his life if I remember correctly. Gilgamesh's way of Kingship left little room for interpretation by his subjects, which also meant they were less prone to contest them.

Where Arturia's and Alexander's kingdom relied on the abilities and attributes of that specific iconic individual to hold their kingdoms together, Gilgamesh's kingdom relied more of the concept of the King's divine authority.
