EB 1.2 Released!

[Mediolanicus]

How do I go about using the BI engine - install a clean RTW1.5, and the RTW BI, patched to 1.6 and than install the Mod?

You install the mod, and then download the installer for the BI version from the submod forum. Or you mod the game yourself.

after a long time i reinstalled my rtw gold version on vista to play eb again. i copied my original rtw folder and named it eb. after that, installed the eb-exe following all steps. i´m sure, i ve selected the right path. but when i start the mod vanilla campaign beginns. any ideas? thank you for your help.

My EB shortcut doesn't work!

Sorry about that. A product of lacking experience with creating installers, I made a mistake when creating the shortcuts that start EB 1.2.

• Use the Trivial Script to start EB instead of the start menu shortcut. You need to have installed this as part of EB 1.1.
• Modify the shortcut target. Move the end quote from the end of the line to directly after RomeTW.exe and it should work (goes for both the new shortcuts in 1.2). For instance, instead of "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -show_err -ne" it should be "C:\My games\RomeEB\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -ne.

THX, followed your instructions and it works!

Are there any precise instructions on how to install BI or Alex - I could not find anything and try not to experiment anymore.
I tried to install that Mega-Mod, but got crashes every other turn (Never again!!!).

I have a clean RTW-BI (1.5). I am looking for a better battle engine with the various groupings like in vanilla (perhaps a Darth Vader's Mod., but could not find this either).

On another topic - some people advertise a "Fix for 1.2" (no link) - what is this? Is this an official patch? And where is it?

Can someone from the team clarify this for me, please?

it's that big bold link in XSamatan's link (2 posts above yours), coincidentally named "1.2 fixes"

and if you want darth vader's formations without jirisys' modpack, you'll have to implement them yourself i'm afraid (at least i haven't seen any standalone version for EB). i'd also recommend playing with the alex exe since it provides the superior BAI of the 3 available

[Fridericus Rex]

Thank you for the response.

Did you install Alex (which version is needed for the mod?) and than the Mod just as you do with the mod installation for the RTW?

It is exactly that link (which is not going to any download page) that has puzzled me. What is this? and is it needed?

Thank you again.

[raest]

if you installed only EB vanilla, then yes, those 3 fixes in that link are necessary (i'm not sure if they're included in that EB ALEX mod)

i installed rtw->BI->1.6 patch->alex(there's only one version of alex, afaik)->EB->RS2 environments->jirisys modpack since i figured the slightly more frequent crashes (although i have never experienced crashes "every other turn" as you seem to. it could be something wrong on your end? are those crashes mostly after a battle? a specific region?) are a worthy tradeoff for better AI (both campaign and battle), battle formations and much nicer battle environments (plus various other nice tweaks and features)

i have not tried that EB ALEX mod, but i wager the procedure is the same (and you can probably skip BI unless you plan on playing a mod that requires it)

i have a started a campaing with v 1.1 .i instaled v 1.2 and i can still play my saves but all of my family members became client rulers

[XSamatan]

1.2 is not savegame compatible to 1.1; either start a new campaign or revert back to 1.1 and load up an older save.

[JoeSteel]

Im having issues with the downloads, im not sure how torrents work so I have never used them and don't really feel like learning. To the point though the filefront download link is broken for the origional 1.1 and I think the others are too.

[XSamatan]

The links to Atomic gamer are valid.
We will update the FileFront links. Thanks for noticing.

[XSamatan]

I FOOLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BUT IT DOESNT UPDATE WHEN I PLAY

[Mediolanicus]

Install the update correctly please, in the Rome - Total war folder, and not in the EB folder. Delete the EB folder that you now have in your real EB folder.

Also, using caps lock makes you look like Stephen Fry in this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6riY-103vbc

[frankspartanking]
