I think it is because vanilla Rome doesn't allow it. I think (please correct me if I am wrong) the modders of EB wanted for it to work not only on BI but also on Rome.
But I do hope they add it in EBII

Also Religion spreading (and causing conflict) was not all that much an issue in the Period of the mod. Judaism is confinded to Judea, christianity not around yet. Polytheistic religions come along much better than monotheistic ones, you just call Wodan mercury, merge this god with that god and praise whatever forein god whenever you feel hes more appropriate to praise than your actual gods. The Zoroastrianism might have been considered particulary annoying by Greeks but I don't recall there being that much Djihads during the timeframe.

I think that ancient religious systems were, as a rule, not antagonistic towards eachother. Judaism was an exception because it claimed to be the exclusive truth, and went around telling other people they worshipped false gods. Not sure about Zoroastranianism.

There is a culture penalty when ruling over settlements with a different culture than your own. Other than that I don't think that regular RTW offers any possibilities to represent religious hostility. Barbarian Invasion did have something like this, but it would take some effort to mod it in - and I'm not sure how it could be done appropriately.

Your Completely Wrong!! Zoroastrianism Was a Complete Religion ! and it influenced Hinduism & Judaism & Christianity & Islam Very Very Much !! There are many Things In Those Religions That Completely Came From Zarathushtra's Mobeds and many things were Came Directly, but were some edited and restyled by their religions !!

and you think EB 2 is for rome 1 or 2?! if rome 2, the Rome 2 Itself is in that time !! So??!?! i dont think EB2 Be Released !!!!

relax, we were not saying that Zoroastrianism is not a complete Religion, but that there were no large religious conflicts because of it between 272BC and 14AD. Offcource other religions were influenced by Zoroastrianism, but the clashes between it and other religions(dunno about judaism) were of much more on a political and cultural Level.

Zoroastrianism clearly qualifies for the Religion System, however the other religions of the time do not.

EB2 will be for Medieval total war 2(not rome), it takes it's time, but I'm fairly certain it WILL be completed.

It's like asking for a School Soccer league in a City that has:
3 sportscolleges that only play Basketball. <-metaphor for polytheists
1 sportscollege that Plays mostly Soccer. <- metaphor for zoroastrians
1 preschool with a Soccer ground.
and a bunch of other Schools that play Basketball or hockey.

those zoroastrians Play quite good but you don't open a league because of one Team.

no not just Zoroastrians. you told there was not many Religions that EB would created it! and i thought you said Zoroastrianism was not important so we dont nee religions in EB !!

and you know, Medieval 2 does not need EB! because first, it was not very popular like rome that its players play after 8 years! and second, medieval2 was a little accurate enough and does not need more accuracy when Total War Is Creating and Creating Games !!
