Military reforms?

[Kull]

Oh fantastic they kept the absolutely worst part of vanilla rome having to manually replace your armies after the marius reform, at least now I’m certain that rome 2 is better than this mod, say what you want about it but at the very least it doesn’t force me to spend 50 long boring turns replacing my entire army before I can have fun again.

That's what EB is all about - finding the worst elements of vanilla RTW and expanding on them! And if you think one manual reform is bad, Rome has THREE in EB! And other factions get reforms too, and even worse, the AI knows how to use them. So yes, far better that you spend your time playing R2.
