Finally had a chance to play with the new EE updates. First let me say, not sure if you changed any of the battle mechanics, but the battles seemed to have slowed down some and are harder than I remember which is good!
Not sure I fully understand the new recruitment system though. Started a campaign with Bactria and only had one recruitment slot even though I controlled 2 provinces. Meanwhile when starting a campaign with next store neighbor Dahae, I could recruit 3 units inspite of only having one territory. I read the change log but still doesnt seem very consistent. Also not sure how I feel about the AI not having these limitations. I appreciate giving the AI bonus to help them with the game, but seems like its a bit too unbalanced in the early campaign.
