And Factions gets different units depending on the area they are at where as in vanilla they get same old unit no matter where they go to.
Vanilla and EB is completely different game. Definitely worth it
Its kind of like Rome: Total Realism, but the SEGA version as opposed to the Nintendo version. (Megadrive vs. NES)

Just for reference, that area recruitment? AoR: Area of Recruitment.

Now for TW vs Civ.

I've played all TW from Med onwards, but only Civ 4. But a lot of Civ 4, especially at Beefy's house.

Its immersive, but...battles. I mean...come on! Civ 4 appeals to me more in only 2 ways:
1. borders change
2. the timespan

If there was a Total War game that does the timespam that Civ can do...best. game. ever.
