I am new to EB; really like it. The reasons I switched from vanilla were:
1. 3 Roman factions
2. Historically not too accurate
3. Just didn't like the Roman civil war
I love EB
1. with the larger map
2. More historically accurate units
3. More realistic time line (Turns/movement)
At first I was disappointed with the long wait times in between turns; now I am used to it (I only wait 1 minute 30 sec, I timed it; after I timed it, it just seems shorter). Then I was dissapointed to at the realization about how long a campaign would take. (What am I going to do? I don't have a DVD-rom drive so I can't even get new game, ie MTW, so I have time).
I've just started as Rome; set at Campaign- very easy; battle- medium. I've always played very easy (I play computer games to have fun, not to be challenged, life is a challenge; I play to relax). How will playing on very easy affect the game, I understand it should be played on hard according to the FAQ's.
What does EB entail? Obviously, new units, larger map, new buildings, but what of diplomacy and scripted events? I already went to war with Carthage for invading sicily. Are there other events like this? Don't worry about spoiling for me.
