I've not played much or followed EB developement over months, but It's realy a great mod, in terms of gameplay ) it's realy cool, each battle feels important, I like the building system and all the descriptions, new units, real improvement of barbarian factions they're realy fun to play (especialy Casse). In EB you've the feeling that you're a small nation like many others and that you're unable to conquer the world easly as it was in vanilla. Finaly the traits, this is surely the best thing, caracters are moore deep and with the four turns a year the last longer.
