    Last time I checked, neither had historical unit sizes. Is this still the case? Centuries should be eighty men plus officers, and turmae (the cavalry equivalent of a century) should be thirty two men (I believe equites were thirty men each, though).

    That sounds like sage advice.

    You know there's no upper limit of the number of mods you can download, right?

    I downloaded and played both over the course of this weekend (and I'll most likely play EB as well when it's released) so there's no real reason why you need comment from a position of ignorance of one (or both) mods.

    SPQR gets my vote although I dislike the fact that you have to play with huge unit size. I prefer the large unit size.

    You have to play on huge? That's annoying, I prefer large unit size.

    You can play SPQR on large.

    SPQR is insane. One turn I'm sitting in Sicily (as Scipii) just minding my own business when *bam* large Carthaginian armies of high experiance start knocking on my door. The battles are crazy too, because the AI is smarter than Vanilla. Good God, they even tried to flank me with cavalry on the flanks once! I was astounded!

    RTR has more interesting units, I think, and I do like the pace a little more. I think I'll try RTR 6.0, it sounds spiffy.

    But I can't wait for EB. SPQR and RTR will never be more than fixes while I wait for hardcore historical accuracy.
