Do you still play vanilla R:TW?

[QuintusSertorius]

Just curious whether the various mods out there have ruined anyone else's experience of playing vanilla. I haven't played vanilla since some time in early 2008, and to be honest I don't miss it at all. The various anachronisms and license taken with history just annoy me too much to bother. Two turns a year is pretty sucky, too.

I do every once in a while until I remember that squalor penalties make huge empires almost unmanageable.

After playing EB you'll start asking yourself: How could I've played this?! XD

Except the fact, that RTW was my first TW game, so i had a lot of fun as a newbie, i don´t, well i can´t actually, play it anymore.
One thing i still miss is this, well, call it athmosphere, when the Senate used to "guide" your expansions, a feeling, that you are NOT the SPQR as a whole, but only one of many, i don´t know... maybe it the lack of disciplin, or maybe i sometimes like to do a quest.
And the other thing i sometimes really hate in EB is this "know down" thing due to lower lethality of the units in general - zooming in i sometimes have to watch a guy beeing hit at least 5 times, going down, getting up, and fighting again - THAT´s annoying, but well^^

No for me. I played two campaigns with vanilla, and one with BI. It was a nice introduction for me into the RTW series, but I could never go back to it after playing several different mods.

War pigs for the win!

I don't play the campaign but my friend and I often fire up vanilla multiplayer for matches. In fact we had one earlier today in which I delivered him a whipping.

Vanilla multi is fine just for fun but only EB for campaign.
