This is probably more psychology, but if one cancels a date with an extremely attractive girl to play RTR (Rome: Total Realism), does that qualify as an addiction? haha.

Sorry. Playing Civilization II for 30 hours, without sleep, that's approaching real addiction.

What are the major differences between both Mods?I honestly can't tell ya, I wanted to try it out too, but I started playing Total Realism and couldn't quit. Oh and RTR 7.0 will probably be the end of my social life as we know it. If my computer dispensed food and beverage, I'd lead Roman armies all day. haha.

I've played both and both are pretty good. I prefer EB because many of the skins are much more accurate and the names of the factions and leaders are all very well researched.
I'm currently working with the 'Sweboz'/Germanic team to make that faction even more accurate. We're reducing the number of units with swords, giving a lot of the shields wooden bosses, introducing bone-headed spears for poorer warriors, cutting down on the numbers of axes used and including wooden clubs.
In terms of gameplay and recruitment, both are far better than vanilla RTW. Winning battles against equal-sized or superior forces is very hard in both and holding down conquered territory without giving good reasons not to rebel is very difficult. Raising and maintaining new units is also much more expensive and difficult, so rasing vast armies and sweeping all before you is difficult to do without going totally bankrupt.
