    Default Why EB2?

    Why EB2? I mean what advantages does M2TW engine offer over RTW? I played M2TW only once (my brother owns it) and I got impression it is very, very ugly game.
    Thanks

    There are a lot more features and options, but mostly there is improved graphics like different looking soldiers in the same unit. Also the AI is slightly better.

    ...And the aspect of religious and cultural conversion, which can affect your AOR... Marriagable princesses and more diplomatic options.... Blood... MTW2 is a better overall Vanilla and mod experience, unless you have an old computer that is... Then the slowdown is merciless and the game seems unplayable.

    Although I do wish CA, SEGA, activision, blizzard, or whatever company is doing the total war series these days fixed the AI for once.

    AI is a pain.

    I've always through about starting an AI middleware companies to solve AI development time for game companies.
