I have been on a long long break from playing Rome 2, I have come back to find this mod makes the game amazing! DEI is Beyond anything I ever expected form this title which put such a sour taste in my mouth from the launch.
I just wish there was a mechanic that stopped the player from rushing the AI on the first 2 or 3 turns. Seems as though this is what has to be done to survive with small factions on H/VH settings. The game is often too easy once things get rolling for the human player. I like to leave Rome alone so I have a big faction to face once I get big enough. Does VH make a big difference compared to H on the campaign settings?
