That was significantly better than I thought it would be.

Is it to much to hope RTW:2 gets a lot of inspiration from EB? Probably.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't some of the devs commented in interviews how much they enjoyed EB?

I do not know; please post any links you might have. That would be positive news.

I somehow missed the bit about it being live action and was thinking 'that's some really good CGI work', and then 'that can't possibly be CG.'

Yes I've seen several comments over the years where they have talked about the quality of mods & several times mentioned EB specifically.

I sure as heck hope they have been paying close attention, with the difficulty of modding these newer games it'll be very hard to correct stuff like the miserable version of Seleucids they had in Rome1.
Really looking forward to Successor polyreme battles!

Unless the TW series employ an ultra-modder-friendly environment with any member that may appear, the glory days look to be long gone.

It's because the gameplay enthusiasm has been gradually diminishing since the "audience" is familiar with every other setting that is (re)released and other than bringing a few elements here and there into the game with newer engines, there's not much room for evolution -why the series fails to pick up from where it left off.

Only one thing I remember about RTW: Mods. Helluvamods.
