yeah, I thought so too, but EB has its flaws and length too.
Really. Please enlight me. I didn't found any flaw yet...

Let's be frank here, alright. There is no better modification of Rome: Total War than Europa Barbarorum.
True. Or let's say, I didn't found any better. EB almost leaves no space for further improvements. While most of the big Mods I've played are all made upon the same base, EB is quite unique and refreshingly challenging to play.

Since I never liked playing Medieval 2, I don't see EB 2 becoming that good. Medieval 2 featured some quite annoying gameplay elements and stripped some cool ones that came with Rome.
