There are a whole bunch of changes in the MTW2 game engine that the team wants to take advantage of. Most recent example is with normadic factions and the whole city/castle settlement thingy. So whether its possible or not to just port it over the EB team has decided not to be like CA and make an almost exact copy of their game, but to instead recreate it.

Another point, If they were going to port it over exactly then why are we even waiting for EB2 when we have the original on our computers already. I am happy with the wait, every day that I wait is another day that these guys are working changes into the new system. (jeez, and now I sound like a sycophant...)

Yes, the whole point of EBII is to recreate EB1 in all possible aspects and not just porting the models, skins, traits, texts, etc, to the new engine. We recognize that this is a huge task, but we work everyday on it.

on the subject of the AI, is it possible to avoid those silly bridge battles? I see the potentiol of kingdoms AI to avoid stupid field mistakes, so why no bridge battles?

I spent 18 minuts of my time recording elites being thrown away by a hopelessly incompetant AI just yesterday.

Don't think so.

Bridge battles are fun :-p.

BC is amazing, though still a tad unbalanced. So I completely reworked the EDU - and my game is amazing for it. Though I was too lazy to change costs.

A fantasy unit I created in BC. How does it look? The above is my profile pic on youtube fyi

I agree with you, BC is amazingly good graphically, it is a real pleasure to the eye. But i´m not too fond either of the gameplay, i much prefer a system similar to SS or EB, i find the playability of them is excellent.

Oh an yes, your unit looks well... small, what´s that supposed to be? a kataphract with a two handed mace?
