That is the interesting thing about Gilgamesh. He is, somewhat, a balanced character, because he is really overpower but his own ego doesn't let him use all his power. He only used all his power (or at least a good amount of it) once, and it was with the only person he recognized: Iskander.

He recognize Artoria more as a woman than as a king or hero. In fact the own Nasu (it was him? I don't remember) stated that Gilgamesh in FSN was some kind of horny king because he want Saber. Even when Gilgamesh fight against her he only use a little amount of his power until he realize how that was a mistake.

Against Iskander he used Ea ASAP, instead of just using Gate of Babylon to play with Iskander's army. He destroyed the whole Reality Marble with a single blow starting the battle (well, it was more "destroyed almost the whole army"). If he had used Ea in the same way against Shirou, it would be the end for our dear protagonist.
