To be honnest the battle map isn't where EB shines for me, it's the Campian stuff like traits and buildings.

Thats my point with the MED2 engine and graphics it would be cool.
On the campaign map .should be the same just copy traits ,rewrite units stats ,description then walla a little more skins then you could drool at the sight of a mercenary army or even just a home grown army. Oh as well as new animations, new special attack eg cow thingy in trebuchet ,you could add that function but instead of cows use heads instead
Maybe the battle map isn't where it shines for you, but let's be honest here, the effects of the EB mod do extend to the battlefield, which is important for some people.
And besides all the new animation and skin possibilities, I think that the new musical system of changing tunes based on the environment you are in is an amazing addition.
Personally, I like both components, but yes EB does shine more in the campaign stuff. Still, extending it to battlefield skins and graphics would be a welcome addition, especially as there are simply NO roman mods for MTW2 right now... yet there are so many new things to take advantage of...

Oops, I meant, it's an addition in MTW2, not in the current EB.... but it IS a component that EB2 can take advantage of. Form and function, after all!

Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

OMG... Dude, what's with you and going all Jesus here on everyone and reviving old threads on both forums? Stop trolling dude... Srsly
1. There was not single nation called "Thrace", of the various Thracian tribes in EB's timeframe the only one that was powerful enough to merit being a faction is the Getai, who are also in the first EB.
2. Again there was not single nation called "Illyria", none of the individual Illyrian tribes were strong enough to merit being made into a faction.
3. Very very difficult to research, I wouldn't rule another one out completely but highly unlikely to happen.
4. We already have one of the Numidian tribes as a faction, the Massylii. The Numidians were not black Africans though, they are the ancestors of the modern day Berber peoples. We will not be having a black African faction due to technical limits imposed by the game.
5. There will be no Goidilic faction either.
6. They are already in EBII as the Pritanoi.
7. Again, already in EBII, they were the first new faction to be revealed.
