Sounds nice. I wish I could experience such enemies too. Normally, the enemy troops are very hard to rout. Generals take a unbelievable long time to die finally. Often, Generals stand around in the midst of my soldiers, hacking them with their sword, and don't die for minutes.

As much as I appreciate that EB slowed down the battles in comparison to RTW, I must say that the enemy routed more realistically in RTW. Or would you keep fighting when you see that all your fellows are dropping their shields and run for their lives?

I don't know how, but EB battles are easier than in RTW. For example, in RTW you had to take care of your general. In EB, you can let him perform half a dozen charges without having to fear to loose him.
