Is EB2 the same as EB1?

[Ludens]

Just as a confirmation, EBII is essentially an updated version of EBI with better graphics, engine, etc?

Yes and no. EB2 has the same goals, principles and (mostly) core team as EB1. However, the team is reconcepting most of their work for EB1 in order to make EB2 more realistic and better to play.

i hard AI is stupid with med 2 compared to rtw true ?

The A.I. of M2:TW is certainly not worse than that of R:TW. I would argue it is better, although not exactly good. Modders have more options for improving the M2:TW A.I. as well.

Thats great news about the AI, Ludens.

Here in sunny Australia there is a feeling of spring in the air, a whiff of pollen and anti-hystamines and something more...

...I have a feeling in my bones EB2 is not far away.

Well, here in the Canadian prairies, the wind is beating the life out of us and the gloomy clouds promise snow. I'm setting in for a long, cold winter and a long, hard wait.

An image springs to my mind of Megas Methuselah chopping wood by a lonely log cabin with the Kuldahar theme playing.

Then Alec Guiness shows up with some Cossacks, and says "If you ever want to see EB2 you must ride with us" (music changes to Irena's theme).

Then MM is trapped on the Death Star...etc etc.

My mind is wandering somewhat.

Why would the EB team bother to make EBII when it's just the same as EBII.
No, some things will not change, but most will. And ALX.exe is not that much of an improvement.

I'm pretty sure EB2 will be a LOT better than EB1 in both gameplay (as there a lot of new options) and graphics. However, I'm not sure about the AI... makes you wonder why Creative Assembly has yet to fix the AI as it is apparent in Empire: Total War too that the AI is also stupid.

Oh and in America, the air is full of sweet freedom and the liberty trees have lost their liberal leaves in hopes of preparing for a long, cold winter.

If you bothered to read anything, you'd know by now that the M2TW AI is more easily moddable.

Technically, Canada is more "free" than America, so... Yeah.
