EB for ETW ideas

[Mediolanicus]

You know, EB has been so successful, that if Sega decided to make a Rome II: Total War, it might be possible that the EB team could give them all their research and Rome II would BE EBIII. -M

This whole thread has been about wishful thinking, but this is taking it to the extreme.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

EB is a bit too historical for the main audience. Games have the tendency to get more and more simple. EB is not what you'd call a simple and arcade-like game.

And perhaps the most important reason: CA isn't going to pay the EB team for their research, that would cost them too much. Not paying them would cost them even more because of the law suits that would generate.

Which doesn't mean that these aren't all very exciting ideas (although some of them are clearly not suited for a mod like EB), but let's wait and see what ETW turns out to be first before talking about modding it and let's wait for EBII before talking about EBIII.
