I keep hearing about this Forced Diplomacy, and it seems to be a helpful tool in correcting a lot of the problems I have. How does it work exactly?

Sweet! Still trying to figure out why the 1.2 patch doesn't seem to be working though. Right now my game gets a LOT of crashes and I am hoping that the patch will fix it.... assuming that I can fix it.

I have gone into the folder and it looks like all of the contents of the 1.2 patch are just sitting in a seperate folder within the EB folder. I am pretty sure that the various little tweaks are supposed to go into the main EB folder, not be within a different folder within the EB folder. I don't want to tinker with any of it, as I am afraid I could just mess something up. If anyone has any knowledge as to how to handle this please let me know.

Another quick question, can you recruit Generals in EB? I have yet to find a way to do so.

Usually with a lvl4 Government (always called something like "Allied state" as a building).
Recruit than a mercenary general unit and the script will place a general.

1) c/programfiles/creativeassembly/RTW/EB is not the directory that you want to direct the installer to. You want to direct the installer to exactly the same folder that you installed Eb1.1 to, namely c/programfiles/creativeassembly/RTW. It really is that simple.

You CAN in fact recruit Roman troops outside of Italy- you simply need to trigger the appropriate reforms. The Romans have three reforms, the Polybian, Marian and Augustan. The FAQ has more information (Scroll down to IV Gameplay).

I am playing the koinon Hellenikon and my city of rhodes is losing serious money ~ 3000 a quarter. Do you know why that might be happening?

Phanos, military upkeep is paid for by the cities, and takes into consideration the population size. Since Rhodes has by far the greatest population in the KH at the start, they pay a disproportionate of the army upkeep.

You can see that in the settlement details scroll as well.
