But even without that I sure hope EB2 will be for kingdoms. The improved forts will be interesting. The more intriging thing will be the ability to command reinforcing armies though. That will certainly aid in creating larger battles, with more realistic sizes for the Classical period. With the ability to command 4+ armies at once you might just get those battles with 10,000+ romans against hordes of barbarians.
Don't think we don't know about this.
I drool over kingdoms, and my only wish on improvents on it is the BUMP UPWARDS of the units cap.
