Sorry to bump this, but I've tried all of the recommendations on that thread about speeding up EB, and the client ruler fixes (maybe: I use the Alexander EB mod and was told it included all 1.1 fixes)... but the game still runs at the same speed it used to before. That is, slow.

Vanilla RTW runs very quickly and smoothly, but in the campaign map of EB, everything takes a split second to register, making the entire gameplay feel sluggish. Thankfully combat runs perfectly, but not being able to enjoy the campaign map as vanilla does makes me sad.
