See I have alex but I have been using BI to play EB ad I'm just ot sure if the benefits of using alex.exe would outweigh the benefits with using BI.exe. After I finish my macedon campaign I will have to give alex a try. One major thing worries me however about alex: why does the cpu refuse to do naval invasions? from what i heard the alex ai will ot perform them and that is the major stumbling block preventing me from switching over to it.
