Ha ha ha Fluvius the Blitzer, fastest conqueror I know off ;-)

To the OP, EB is different (more realistic) and more difficult than Vanilla. It is good and commendable that you want something more realistic and well-researched so fast after starting RTW Vanilla, I applaud that.
But you should have started with Rome, Mac or Carties as already pointed out. You now are and enjoy the game so much more I hope (means you will keep playing- I wonder how many players EB loses by being so realistically hard on most factions).
EB is such a pleasure to play for the historically minded and except for the berserk AI and lack of naval invasions, so much an improvement over Vanilla that it is as stone age compared to Iron Age ;-)

Welcome, I hope you will have much fun.
