mate we have 2 types of EB Players mainly; blitzers, role players...
For example I am an early blitzer supporter to survive, (just think nomads)
then I role play after I have luxury to lose one of my army.
-you do not have to win every battle, defeats are fine.
-I even provoke rebellions after my faction leader dies, mostly increasing the taxes to maximum and leaving one unit for garrison.
-most players do not defeats, but there is no fun just win, win,win, conquer, raze cities , destroy factions....
-I am quite happy to role play unsuccessful campaigns, egoist generals' suicidal battles on impossible lands...
-so it is hardly to describe what is the use of having 4py.
- I still cannot understand what is the fun of conquering whole map, I am quite happy to stop after I have conquered 1 3rd of the map. later I role play as super power, I make my neighbours my vassal,
and I protect them from expansionist factions like Carthage, Ptolemy, Rome.
- I like role playing Xerxes I's campaign again and of course I retreat to Asia Minor after I suffer heavy defeat.
So we cannot judge peoples style of play, I never allow the destruction of a faction, even AS my eternal enemy is rested in Cyprus and their kings dies of boozing and womanizing.
So some may support 2TP, some 4TPY, I support 12TPY and 0 recruitment for levies and 2 turn recruitment for elites rest 1.
if you do not like the style of EB team has no word againt to change it even to release them for others.
our aim is jut having fun, I like having fun by modding it according to my perpective..
