I must emphasize this statement. Definitely don't expect to see such blitzing. Even if you do try blitzing yourself, you may find it somewhat difficult to establish a foothold in a large swath of territory taken in only a couple years(with your nearest recruitment zones a considerable distance away, rebellious newly-conquered populations, etc). EB is best played at a slow pace. I'd advise you take the time to enjoy every small aspect of EB, as well as roleplaying with a lot of characters and cities, etc.

EB is a much more different experience than vanilla RTW, and much more enjoyable. It has the essence of lasting enjoyability.
