Slightly controversial what if...

I doubt much of BI's advantages would be used to a great extent. Shield-wall might be used. Maybe one or two units could swim. The religion system might be worked to something, though I know not what. It is rather constricting. Other than that, it would be about the same.

Shieldwall + swimming + torrents of corpses floating down stream. I think that Alex.exe actually has extra unit slots.

That is most interesting. Can anyone else confirm this? If true, the EB Team or some fans could release a patch adding a couple of more units to the game. That would be marvellous.

Not completely true I'm afraid.
Alx.exe supports more than 256 models but the unit cap is still 512.

Loyalty would have been out: you can't have a faction shadowed by another playable faction: it leads to CTDs (when the shadowing faction is eliminated, for example), and I'm pretty sure that you can't have the rebel faction shadow everybody either. It functions in M2TW however.

So really, not much difference, and the BI and ALEX fan-made mods pretty much cover it as is.
