I have to agree to be honest mate.
I would suggest becoming much more accostomed to the Vanilla RTW before you start playing EB. EB is meant to be much more historically accurate; this brings with it many changes and differences, all for the better if thats the kind of thing you want. Obviously these changes include a much more complex and difficult, not to mention realistic, gameplay.
If you want an easier game, with lots of infantry and few cavalry, its the Romani, hands down. Not only do they fit these three requirements, they have a strong starting position, almost unlimited expansion oppotunities and a very strong economy, right from the beginning.
Also, you mentioned you wanted experience. Besides becoming better at Vanilla, I would strongly suggest custom battles (on multiplayer not single player) and to read through stuff in these forums. You could learn how to become a master at the game just by reading about people's experiences and their guides.
But yeah, some of your comments don't help, and could be seen as offensive, especially to the EB team, who you have no idea how much they put into this game.
