You and Knight didn't even figured out, that my response to your over-dramatized post was purely ironical. While Knight made a serious, and true response, all you did was feeling offended and started a drama-post with oversaturated usage of smileys. This knowledge combined with the fact that you seem to like playing with princesses, leads me to not further respond to your questionable posts.

Just to make it clear to you. I'm thinking about games like packages. Inside a package, everything has to match up together. While in Rome-TW, and consequently EB-TW everything matched up and was "feeling" right, Medieval 2 didn't "feeled" correct.
Lining up multiple arguments, about what is fun in Medieval 2, won't change that fact...

In all seriousness, to say that EB2 will be worse than EB1 simply because it is on the M2TW platform is simply ridiculous.
Really? If EB 2 is going to feel like Medieval 2, in all seriousness, I won't play it. It's hard to descripe why Rome TW will always be the better game. And since I don't want to make this thread a fight over which version of TW is better, I don't even start it.

But I agree with you. If they strip the game of all it's bad elements, then EB 2 could be even better. But it needs much more then just a "better" AI to convert me to Medieval 2 engine. Cause let's face the fact, a computer AI is always dumb. There are other arguments to what makes a game good, and what doesn't.

And you shouldn't take the fanboy to serious. There's a reason why I put it in quotes...

True. The videos where another annyoing feature in Medieval 2. While you're able to turn them off, it's still annoying to do this every time, when one of my spions enters the city etc.
