I have EB but the thing is so complex and huge I was just offput by it. It reeks of the BGR submod for SS - make the game a chore to even learn for me... Though I do like increased historical accuracy and balance, 95% of the unit names are something like Axetropieouzttss Warriors or Komunrahsetslsmteoith. I love my history but I ain't that much into ancient greek or latin. I mean I'd love to learn one or two words now and then but the change was so massive and sudden from "Legonary Cohort" to "apdffff-whatstheirface" that I just sort of abandoned EB on my HDD.

However Reluctant Samurai has epxressed the desire and will to play a good ol' regular RTW hotseat, where we know the Return of the Mummy Eggies are imba, the Romans thrash everything in AR with their blue and green plastic soldiers and that the bararian factions suck in their infrastrucuture :) If you are in as well we can give it a try!
