Not entirely sure what you on about in the second part but if your saying that all the factions speak the same language then thats incorrect, there are 5 different main languages in the game (latin, greek, celtic, punic and persian) and some others are represented through unit names (proto-germanic etc). It's not like they just gave everyone a non english language to make the game seem more exotic.

Actually they used 2 kinds of Celtic, so right now there are 6 languages on the battlefield (which is quite impressive seeing as we're mostly dealing with "dead" languages here). I heard that there will be a Proto-Germanic Voicemod for EB II as well

better ai? this was hardcoded, and actually kingdoms ai is worse than those RTW with Alex..... Some random faction will start not moving at all until you (or someone else attack them)... The ai never retrain units, and their generals do suicide into my pike fence much more.... only RTW beats ai Idiocy...

---------------------------------

But actually I hope public order (law and hapiness) turned up, and population growth turned down...

Worse AI? Ah crap I was hoping for an improvement..
What are other differences of rtw and mtw2 engine?
I like recruitment system and free upkeep of mtw and after battle ransom, release, execute..
I kinda think units are less responsive in the battle.

over all will this game be better than eb1?

It's hard to answer something like that, because, quite simply we don't know yet. Because the game has not been released yet, any queries into the quality of the game would be pure speculation. It would be like asking in January if E:TW was going to be better than M2. SOme could speculate that this or that might be improved, but at the time we had absolutely no idea if E:TW was going to be a boom or a bust.

Furthermore, so much of that stuff relies on personal opinion and preference, that it is really difficult to put a stamp on any sequel saying it was better than the last. You may say that R: TW was the best TW game around, but I know there are people who claim E: TW is the best around, or still others who solely play M1 or S: TW.

Really what I'm trying to say is that we really can't say anything for sure. All you can do really is have patience, and come to your own conclusions when the game inevitably (I hope?

) comes out.

However, one thing can be determined right now. That is that when this game does come out, we know it will come with the quality and attention to detail that we have come to expect from this community.

You should really try the xai mod for m2 kingdoms if you want ai improvement. From my experiences the ai has been vastly improved by that mod.
