You know you play too much EB when you think the Romans were only successful because everyone else was playing on VH/VH and they were on E/E.

When the cop says to drop your weapons, you cry "MOLON LABE!" before being riddled with bullets.
Also, you pronounce names of ancient states or cities correctly, such as Epeiros, Makedon, or Qarthadast (although I am not so far gone that I refer to Greece as Hellas or Rome as Roma).
Also, when you watch Lord of the Rings, you find yourself mentally replacing the types of soldiers with ancient counterparts (if applicable).
Also, you don't have a girlfriend because whenever you are around females you are too busy with discussions about Central Asian nomadic warfare to talk about ponies or fairies or lesbian fantasies or whatever it is that girls talk about.

When you see a small hill on the way to a camping expedition, and think how would you arrange the troops so that they would fend off the attackers
When you look for a potentially better spot in order to have more tactical advantage
When you remember the hill on your way back
When you imagine you're a: hoplitai, principes, leves (or akontistai), accensi, etc...
When you imagine that your tent's bag is an hasta (or doru) and a bag full of sheets is your scutum (or aspis)
When you say perfectly all the roman/greek/celtic/punic things the unit say
When you say perfectly all the names of the soldiers you use in your campaign
When you say all this when doing the same actions they mean
When you imagine formations in order to fight imaginary battles
When you imagine you are in a movie about EB
When you hate that modern warfere use gunpowder instead of old-fasioned ruthless spears and swords and unforgiving tactics
When you imagine that in your country (where there was no european until 1503 IIRC) there were battles between the roman republican army and the celtic armies
When you take the time to remember all this and write it instead of playing EB
All guilty as charged your honor
MISTHOPHOROI TOXOTAI KRETIKIOI?
Is there any reason why the defendant made this... actions
LOCHOS VADEL!
Apparently he hasn't played EB for 2 days your honor, and there's no time to play it today
