Thanks!
I actually do play the Sweboz quite a bit, they are my favourite Western faction :P

But I've recently started an Armenian campaign, and and enjoying myself immensly! Wow, there are just so many diverse cultures, languages, ideas and aristic/architectural/organizational achievements. I mean, I always knew that this was so rationally, but only in EB did I get a real feeling for the diversity and chaos of the period.
You also get to realize how much "globalization" has changed the world - mostly for the better, perhaps, but no longer is each city/tribe a whole secret and separate world, like it was then.
