It's really something special. I'm playing Romani at the moment to get a feel for the game. I'm amazed at how different it plays. It really "feels" like a whole new game. I tried RTR but overall I have to say that I find EB more immersive. I'm actually going to start my campaign over again because from studying the guides I think I'm getting a better idea of how to use and develop my family members.

I'm really impressed with the skins. They have really given new life to the battles for me and in my opinion they are better than RTR.

I find myself setting up my legions like a Roman General might. It's actually almost silly how much joy I get watching my legions advance in battle formation.
The battles are much more interesting by the way, can't use the cake walk tactics I used to use.....Thank god......urrrrr....You guys.

But most impressive is how the reworked campaign works. The four season turns, the slower build times and the limited resources to build up a military. It makes for some really interesting guns or butter situations. I find myself making decisions I never would have made in Vanilla. I actually was about to build a public building in one of Rome's nieboring provinces but cancelled it and built it in Rome instead......Just because it seemed improper to make a building there that didn't already exist in Rome.... I actually built it "For the Glory of Rome"!!!

I can't wait to see what else will be in the updates. I'm in guys.....I'm definately in.
