While the actual troop stats may be more simplistic, EBII should really shine with all the new options available for the campaign itself, particularly improved diplomacy. Really looking forward to it!

Edit: I can't remember the last time I was actually assaulted in RTW or MTWII. Usually they just besige me and that is it. Now I just sally forth as soon as attacked in order to spare some of my troops from starvation. Very boring.

Exactly... You could still starve them out but it would cost you. It should be an added expense to starve them out ( That's realistic). As the player you have to decide which way to go based on your circumstances.
