ALEXANDER EB

[chenkai11]

This is Romani peace offering every time they are defeated. Every time they try to take messana, I attack their invading army. Every time they lost the battle their diplomat will come and propose ceasefire! Ceasefire! I need money for my Egypt invasion, so I always agree in exchange for money.
History has been rewrite. They have been financing my east african campaign around 60,000mnai (5 times defeated). Finally, I got the carthaginian avenged on the Romans (in the game). Hahaha

I invade Ptolemaioi by surprise, cancelled our alliance, trade rights and military access and started besieging their capital with Hanno leading libyan army, Mago with liby-poenician army, with two armada. Ptolemaioi are traitors, they convicted carthaginian with transgression, but the same year of carthaginian invasion at alexandria, they have army marching to the settement of syrthim province. So I just make the first move. (Just in time, I did prepare for that invasion for 15 years, coz mnai is short) Within one year, I got three major settements, then Hanno's two brothers are starting to attack from the west by land too.

Seleucid sees the situation and send diplomat to:


Maksimus, the free people at messana doesn't retrain, coz they have no money?

[maksimus]

Well, I hope that you have fun! I think that the Diplomatic section is working much better with ALX.exe..

Anyways, The free people of Messana are 'rebels' right?
Well, If they are 'rebels' than they don't retrain because of this:

******************************************************
This is EDU section - for slave barracks, so, they can build them but they can not train any troops (this is EB vanilla) so they cant retrain neither

BUT! Alexander EB team will do a step forward in the Alexande EB Mod - That is we will make rebels to be able to 'train' units - but we will add 'hidden resaources' (for regions - such as Hellenic or Celtic.. etc) so that the AI would not train Hoplites in Ireland - see the point?! - We will make hellenic units available only in hellenic regions for slaves and that goes for celtic units in Celtic regions .. (I have already tested that in RTW vanilla - and let me tell you that Athens stood for 100 turns!)

AND Happy New Year to ALL (I wish you all happines and good health!)!

thanks for the great news!

[Mediteran]

hey, so i just download that file and extract to rome tw directory, and change the shortcut? or do i also have to edit something in the text files?

and one more question, does this change anything else except being able to play with alex.exe?

[maksimus]

If you download the files you are ok to go, just copy them into your RTW dir and overwrite all, then change the s-target and run the game

And the files only enables you to use some advanced ALX.exe features - still, most of the *txt you need to play are just some fixes that disables your generals of being immortal and enables you to play at night (or you can consider it to be 'later during the day' play

Anyways, changing the target itself enables you to run EB on ALX.exe, but most of players want to have ability to play 'night battles' and don't want immortal generals

hope you run it fine .)

[Mediteran]

ok ive done it and it works, thanx so these text files are all in the rar file i downloaded? cause i dont want my generals to be immortal, are they immortal by default? why is that?

[maksimus]

It's because of the ALX engine designed for Alexander campaign (in the Alexander traits vanilla, 'Immortal' trait exists (also in start *txt file) so that one can finish his campaign with Macedon) when you play Alexander.

And the fact that EB *txt does not have 'Immortal' trait means that ALX.exe engine will use that by giving all generals 'immortal' as a part of their trait 'base' - in other words - they will never die unless we add 'immortal' trait in EB *txt files so that ALX.exe can load it and then use it only when given by modder..

Anyway, I am glad it is working for you and it is in 7z file format

[Mediteran]

ah ok i understand. nice work with the mod, and thanx for clarifying things for me

one thing i notices is it works better with alex.exe then with regular rtw, i have a very slow computer so this is good news

[maksimus]

oh... the mod will be out soon..

[peditum_user]

Hello.
I've made a fresh copy of RTW + IB, patched to 1.6, then installed Alexander TW and EB.Copy-paste-yes to all "ALEM_full_LScreensbonusFF" and "EB10_on_ALEX[1].exe".Also used the "C:\Games\EB\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -nm -noalexander" command.
When i choose a faction and press start nothing happens.The game won't go on.Then i press "Esc" and exit the game.At that point the error window, pointer below, comes out.
Assistance pls?

[maksimus]

Have you patched the RTW game with 1,3 and 1,5 patches and then installed ALX?
Anyway, there are at least two things that might have gone wrong here
1 - It is possible that due to numerous installations (like in the main post: RTW+1,3+1,5+BI+1,6+ALX - note that you don't really need BI at all) the folder you are using is causing the problems because it is not 'default given'
2 - Did you follow the instructions and copy-paste the files into correct folders?

Anyway, my suggestion is to make new installation of plain new RTW in 'default given' folders (there were some issues with 1,5 patch if done otherwise) than patch it in this order: 1,3 patch then 1,5 patch then (if you want to but you dont hav to BI + 1,6 patch) and then Alexander and then add the loading screens and EB10_on_ALEX and then change the target line..

sorry if this is to much - it's just that you have very strange prob in that *start *txt

if you do as mentioned I might be able to help more if the problem persist

[maksimus]

Sorry for bumping this up really, but since there were some 20 downloads I wonder if someone actually tried the beta mod? anyone?

[tob]

may i ask whats the difference with the release of the first page and this beta?

[maksimus]

may i ask whats the difference with the release of the first page and this beta?

Nah.. there is no difference

It's just that when you want to make one announcement (like I did for this beta) you need to *bumd the page so the people could be alarmed that 'something has happend'

Still, let me make it clear:

This you need only if you want to 'safe-pass' into the ALX.exe world with EB1
Most of people use this, since it only makes night battles and ALX.exe engine 'free' for the community
