Hello, as Aradan requested, heres a cool list of features, that in my opinion, make RSII and EB a blast to play.
1. Very cool and historical scripted events.
2. Huge map with a big amount of provinces.
3. A very big amount of factions to play as.
4. A lot of buildings to build, each, with its own history and bonuses.
5. AI a lot more challenging.
6. Very good-looking water.
7. Extremely cool-looking cities.
8. Large unit variety, each faction has its own unique units and its own benefits for playing said faction.
9. Battles last longer and cavalry isnt as OP as in other mods, tactics, such as flanking attacks, give an advantage, as they should, but they are more crucial in those mods.
10. Reforms that keep the game exciting.
These are all that i can pull off the top of my head atm, as more come that i havent listed, ill edit this post.
