Don't feel isolated, Azi, there are a lot of other players, many of them old vets, who have come back to MTW as well, or else gone on to other series. I think that the EB mod will enhance Rome in a lot of ways, but all the tactical AI is hardcoded, and that is what the main gripes are about. It'll be interesting to see if these issues are addressed in the expansion, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
