Re: RTR or EB
EB has more factions, almost 500 units, TONS of buildings, unique units and buildings...Everything you want.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: RTR or EB
EB is more realistic. Literrally.
This means, it adds many new contents (a true Cursus Honorum for Rome, a Triumphal system, a 4tpy, a supply system which has an effect on morale, the Olympic Games, new interesting factions such as the saba and saka, much more historical research from what I can tell, reforms for various factions, events such as recovering Alexander's body from Alexandria, many special sites which represents the wonders of the world, and plenty more stuff that I'm forgetting now)
RTR is more gameplay oriented, I think. It's been such a long time since I played it (I'm a RTR refugee, who came to EB)
Now, I played EB and I can't go back to RTR. I'm just so used to the features, and skins.
Basically, you should download RTR, play it a bit, then download EB, play that a bit and decide which you prefer. It all comes down to you.

Re: RTR or EB
Both are great mods and to be honest it all comes down to personal preference.
EB is 100% historical within the limits of the engine. This means however that it is slower paced and more hard work to get into than RTR. EB also has more features which means it runs ever so slightly slower.
RTR is way more historical than vanilla but it does sacrifice some historical accuracy in order to keep the game fast-paced and relatively easy to get into.

It must also be noted that due to EB features slowing the computer down, you will have a loading screen (pre menu) of 10 minutes, if you have a decent computer.

Re: RTR or EB
10 minutes a exagerrated. My comp is far from the newest (it was top notch when I bought it but that is 4 years ago) and if I have to wait for 5 minutes, it would be long.
Re: RTR or EB
Both are excellent Mods... I played RTR before coming to EB. RTR is easier to get started than EB. Prefering one over the other comes down to personal choice. I am happy that i played/play both.
One possible reason that more people play RTR than EB is bcos EB is still a beta. People might be hesitant to play for fear/hatred of CTDs. Atleast I know that is the reason i did not try EB earlier.
