these fora are a great resource for players new and old alike, so i'm glad you tracked them down. i'd agree with zett: you probably can dive in and start playing, but bear in mind EB does not offer the tutorials that vanilla RTW does, so depending on your ability to pick up a game, you might want the tutorials/a first taste of the game mechanics from RTW.

as you've said you've done some reading, i'm sure i don't need to say this (but i will anyway): do read the faq, and have a root around for notes for installation, dealing with common bugs, and commonly encountered difficulties. you can avoid loads of issues by reading the faq and doing searches on here. i'm sure you already know that.
