Enjoying the "new" Pahlava!

[Yossarian]

So, I got 1.1 yesterday and started a new campaign with Pahlava, my first attempt at playing that faction or any of the nomads for that matter.

I was a bit hesitant at first. It became obvious that I had to go on the offensive straight away, and since the AS has some very lightly garrisoned towns in the east they presented a suitable target. Usually I play defensively so this was a new thing for me. I'm now 10 years on and really enjoying the campaign! Horse archers are just too good for those clumsy phalangites.

The music in the campaign map is different from any other I've heard playing EB so far, and that is a very welcome change. It sets the tone perfectly. Likewise the battles are set against a backdrop of powerful blaring horns that really gets you in that killing mood. The new voices are great as well!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the EB team for making such a great mod with varying possibilities in gameplaying style and setting. This campaign "feels" so much different to any other I've tried. Thanks!
