This was improved in 1.5.
So EB can't beat the AI in 1.5 no matter how hard they try.
EB with 1.5 will be a deadly combination however
EB plus a host of other mods like darth's and SPQR WITH 1.5 is almost highly anticipated across here and TWC i reckon ;) but rite now i'm playing 1.5 vanilla with the bug fixer by player1 and i say its definitely better than 1.2 although my roman neighbours like me, seem to be steamrolling whoever they meet ^_^
so while the AI has improved, holding the line beta, flanking, trying to out-manuvere sometimes, i still manage to beat it pretty convincingly and i'm ain't no tactical genius

but the reason why i came back is cos CA has actually patched it and release standalones for RTW without the need for BI. so we certainly have come a long way...esp from the past fiasco
hopefully the support keeps on improving!

so to sum it up, a better experience but as always, the mods will make it much better and so i do recommend u kick off with vanilla, perhaps to re-familiarise with the RTW controls and gameplay ;)

Cheers
