The speed of battles is simply too slow. It makes the battles more tactical, it is true, but things are getting too far. I end up experiencing much more similar battles in EB than in vanilla.

But mainly I lose atmosphere. Phalanxes looks very strange locked together without any units dying or anything going on. It takes forever to kill of the last units and looks silly when 2-3 units are surrounded by hundreds and still taking time to die.

Is it only me? I would love to have some optional version where units have less hp and battles are a tad faster.
