I am an unapologetic fanboy of several RTW mods, such as RTR, EB and Goth mod though. They merit a Spinal Tap style 11/10.

I'm hopeful ATW will get the same treatment - the campaign certainly has potential. A lot is now hanging on Lusted to rescue it.
I thought you were also a big fan of vanilla BI ?

Alexander sounds like a good idea, but I just can't stand how RTW uses its hoplites/speamen/pikemen. I thought I'd give Rome another chance with RTR but I quit after seeing the AI sending me pikemen piece by piece again, never to start it up again...
