    Thanks

    OK then as deciding factor regarding RTR & EB, do they both nerf heavy cavalry and toughen up infantry? The thing with STW was, the units really did follow rock/paper/scissors. Which probably isn't historically correct, but does make for a better game. In RTW on the other hand, heavy cavalry applied judiciously from two directions beats just about anything. Except chariots, which I think really do beat everything. I don't want Cavalry to be whipped by swordsmen, but I do want routing to be harder to achieve.

    Anyway, Carthage is floating my boat for now. I took over Sicily, with some pain. I took the rebel town in western Lybia, and the romans are attacking me in Sardinia. The romans rule the sea, but given the Scipii are probably down to one region, I doubt I'll see many Decere's.

    Difficult. I think Heavy Cav in RTR carries quite a punch due to a high charge bonus. Hitting from behind, they will most likely rout any infantry with the second charge. But: in RTR Heavy Cav is ****ing expensive.
    I think in EB Heavy Cav isn't so powerful. You'll need some more charges there.

    But why are you trying to decide anyway? They are both beautiful mods, where thousands of hours went into. You should play them both otherwise you'll really miss something.

    Yes I know

    However between work & sleep ...

    I'll probably finish Carthage & BI this year, try a LOTR flavour in 2008, RTR in 2009, and be good to go on EB in 2010 :p
