Is EB the best mod for any game of all time?

[seleucid empire]

If RSII had a map as big as EB and its battles were the same then I would vote that instead but it doesnt so yes, EB IS THE BEST MOD of rtw

The thing I love the most about EB is the amount of time that the modders spent on making the units balanced and battles longer. Its not like RTW or most other mods where they didnt bother to change the battle mechanics and where levy units have absolutely no chance against elites and break after a few seconds of fighting (vanilla urban cohorts vs greek militia hoplites comes into mind)

Ive tried Roma Surrectum II twice and I still have those crappy battles where I charge 3 units of medium cav into the face of a unit of their infantry and they just disintegrate immediately. RSII battles feel just like vanilla battles to me.

They also have a weird starting position for many factions (e.g. The Seleucids start with their main army and Antiochus III at Raphia facing a Egyptian stack which has better quality troops. There are 2 more fullstacks behind the first Egyptian stack so after a battle you have to retreat since the casualties from the first battle are so high. I mean what the hell is the point of that?)

Also in Roma Surrectum II the economy is absolutely B.S. As Sparta you start with only one city but you make 15 000 a turn even though you have a fullstack army and half a stack guarding the city. wow really? I didn't realize sparta was a economic powerhouse????????????? You fight about 2 battles every turn aswell from the beginning.

With Eb, you have to slowly build up an army which your economy can actually support and if you are careful, you can use this single army to conquer vast amounts of land (more realistic i think). Since the battles are slow paced and the lethality of units has been toned down, you suffer less casualties per battle as long as you use clever tactics and keep your army intact.

Also population growth in RSII is just like vanilla. Exterminate a large city and they begin to riot after only 10 turns

So yes in terms of everything EB is the best
