Awesome. That's one of the only things that used to annoy me about the EB mod. I always played on hard campaign, medium battle difficulty and I believe the AI got quite large cash injections each turn to help them manage the huge building/recruitment costs compared to vanilla (which I agree with, they needed it or they just went bankrupt instantly). However they also got a boost to building speed I think, which meant Rome ended up with max level barracks in every city 3 or 4 turns into the game. So when I played as Epeiros and king Pyrrhus decided Greece just wasn't worth the hassle and he was going to conquer Sicily and Italy again, I had to fight my way up from Tarentum to Arretium, taking each city as I went. Every turn I had to fight an army consisting of like 16 Pedites Extraordinarii. I don't think I ever saw Hastati, Principes or Triarii. :(
