Same.

I'd rather spend money for the EB mod than the XP because I'm pretty sure that the XP isn't going to change the pace of the game and make the game actually Strategical.

This is true:

MTW + STW Had more strategy/tactics than your average Real Time Strategy Game.

RTW has worse strategy/tactics than your average Real Time Strategy Game.

Not to say that Rome doesn't have a load of potential, but potential means fuckall if it isn't harnessed - and as of yet RTW has masses of unharnessed potential... whose job is it to harness taht potential? partly the modders after teh game is released - but the majority of the game's features and abilities should be fleshed out in the initial release.

In it's current state RTW barely deserves to be called a Strategy game.
