How did you get interested in RTW and then in EB?

[Stycks]

always wanted to feel in control of a real army!
RTW gave me that chance! its like one of the few games i can actually fight a battle the way a real life battle would go! none of the rushing cheap units to their deaths in rise of nations or age of empires! these wanted to live! and the first time i saw a unit rout (it was one of mine) i almost sacrificed my pet rock thanking the video game gods that finally those dudes on my screen had lives to care about!

but....

after a while it got boring cuz my little play troops would die or kill like they were using light sabres

so...

i looked up for mods to make it better....

found RTR (no flaming, but i think it was all eye candy)
found surrectum (idk why i didnt like it, i think it was too roman centric)

then found EB....
LOVED IT!
MY SOLDIERS ACT LIKE REAL SOLDIERS FOR ONCE!
