EB2. Mod for Vanilla or BI?

[SlickNicaG69]

I started looking up some of the previews on EB II and I liked what I saw about the Roman Government remake. That's exactly what I was talking about. But I still regret not being able to play EB-style RTW throughout the whole era of Rome herself. I read up earlier how EB II should mod the era from the founding to the Phyrric War. Well, instead why not having it prolong until 476?

And how are you going to do that?

All those factions coming and going. Besides, it would be history on rails then, wouldn't it?
I mean... When you play in your alternative reality and by 50 BC you've conquered Germany as Carthago. You keep on playing and suddenly you get the message The East Roman Empire has appeared along with German hordes on your borders...

I VOTED FOR BOTH OPTIONS BECAUSE I LIKE VOTING IN POLLS.

Also, I must agree with Odiseeios:

Uh.. not an issue that a poll will have the slightest influence on.

Alright dudes. That's cool. I don't mind waiting for a complete remake of EB - (I like the new, historically lesser known factions, trait/government system a lot too!) - but after playing EB for a little while a short time ago I realized there were some hardcoded things in it that I wished would be greatly enriched in EB2. Namely, the things I came up with were the following: 1) Battle Map lethality (when a whole line of Roman Principes throw both pilas at 1 unit of Greek Elite Phalanx and no greeks die, there is something wrong with that), 2) Campaign Map AI (factions aren't rational, and rebels don't do anything; I think rebels should be less strong, but more active), and, really, if you make it imperial, make it well into the period to fully experience its transition. How about 79 AD?

1) Always play on M battle. And just don't throw anything straight into a fairly well armoured unit protected by a well of a hundred long pikes. Distract them and hit them in the rear.

2) Imperial? 79BC? What?
