This isn't as difficult as you might first imagine. All you need to do is use a proper text editor (I use Textpad) and search for the following phrase in all .txt files in the EB/data folder (including sub-folders).
"eb/data/"
This will bring up a tonne of files that all need to changed, so you need to open up each file seperately and use the search and replace function to change all instances of
"eb/data/" to
"data/"
You will also come across lines that begin with "../eb/data/" and these need to be replaced with "../data/".
After doing these all you need to do is copy all the content of eb/data to the vanilla data folder. Now just run the game as if it were vanilla. There may well be some teething problems, but as long as you have -show_err in the command line (this is why you should always you a shortcut to start a modded version of RTW), most of the errors will show up and you should be able to figure out what is wrong.
I would recommend doing this on a copy of your EB folder and then copying the new and improved version into a clean copy of RTW somewhere else, just to be on the safe side. Use your normal version to play (so you can update it with patches) and use your new version for creating battles. I would also wait until our next patch comes out before attempting this, as this will have quite a lot of changes, and will mean you won't have to do it all again.
If you have any problems let me know and I'll try and help further.
