    I played XL or vanilla long time ago, so I can't say much about differences... What I like in BKB is this historical feeling of certain period. Every period has its own 'unit_prod' etc. files, so you don't have acces to new units in later periods. This could be minus for players playing slowly, but this gives unique character of every period with units, factions and provinces that make campaign different. Early period is set for Normans, Reconquista, Byzantium, Muslims and crusades, high - religious wars of all kind, late - dominance of western warfare, pikes, full plates etc, but every nation have its unique units, so there's no point for concerning that some nation is less 'cool', but of course historical aspect is deciding, so muslim nations in late aren't that strong and has less variety of units or heroes.
    There are many new units, buildings, titles, provinces, nations... I play almost only in late period, because it's the longest one and late medieval units are excellent. Gameplay is epic alike in XL, everyone has enough cash for big armies, heroes and offices guarantee strong enemies, generally it's great fun :P
    I remember that I like unit balance more in BKB than XL, where fights are fastest IIRC... Also I like BKB's historical nuances and details.

    I'm still playing vanilla MTW. Started a campaign with the Italians (early, expert) again to get me used to it again. Up past 1205, humming along, though the English just attacked me for some reason, sank part of my navy, grrr!

    Will have to see to payback, hope I haven't shifted too many troops away to Constantinople and Antinoch!
