Yea think about it Mediocrenus... EB 2 would last until the completion of the Amphitheatre and the Fall of Pompeii... perfect starting point for EB3... where the Golden Age of Imperial Rome begins - maybe unto Eternity and against The Demonic Huns and their 1000 barbarian subject-peoples!!!
Oh and btw... I play the game at VH/M, so although they are elite, they are not on steroids, and yet... Shooting a unit in the back by a complete unit with both volleys of pila on level ground kills a total of 3 units out of the 120 tightly-bunched-completely-yellow-naked-barebacked-greek-stickbearers... come on man... you really gonna say the battle map is straight?
I recently tried out Rome Total Realism a little while ago, and although it is too much like vanilla in terms of campaign gameplay for my liking, I like how, in battle, you experience the grueling, time-enduring battles when in strict face-to-face fighting; but even if your recently recruited hastati come upon an ENGAGED unit of elite greek pikemen, they cut them down like a butcher on a dead pig... but with moderation. Check it out and let me know what you think Mediocrus...
