Lightning quick battles, what the...!

[Tellos Athenaios]

Hello guys!
Some time ago I played EB 1.0 and enjoyed it immensely. Today I installed 1.2 with sprites fix, Naval Strat map, RS textures and ||Lz||'s mini mod pack. Thing is that now all my battles are ultra arcade when compared with my previous experience with slow pace that suited my taste so well. Units run as if they were covered with burning oil, and being chased by cerberus himself. They die even faster. What, rhomphaia for everyone? After I replaced export_descr_unit.txt with that one from phalanx mod, my hellenoi battles last somewhat longer, but they're still too darn fast. Would you believe, it makes for a boring game for me. What's this all about? Is it the way EB plays in 1.2? Is my installation corrupted in any way? Of course I did try reinstalling.

I've struck through quite a few things which are not relevant to your problem. Of course, another likely culprit is a hardware upgrade, and you were used to what actually is a severe form of lag?

EDIT: In short: any modification not made by the team may or may not have altered such things as battle balance as well (to suit 'their' tastes better) which may or may not cause your problem as well.
