Why is ur mod only designed for fast coms?

[master88]

Hey, please don't find me annoying cause i just want to know something. (Some person has already gave me a bad rep for no cause at all) I played your mod and its cool but it is very slow. I played it with all requirements (taking off processes not needed and that stuff) and still its kinna slow. It really cool but its slow.

Secondly, why do u use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD? I have alot of ideas why u did that but it will just ruin my rep more and one will ans my questions again.

So can anyone (who id not agressive) please ans my question? If the leader himself can ans it will be fine. I think the leader should kno who i am, cause i posted a thread and much people got "tribal" on me. Really don't want such again.

Thanks to those who will answer (kindly without disrespect) and have a nice day.

Well there are a 100 more people who think they know it better than the EB team. And do you honestly think that they made EB slower than rtw vanilla because they thought it would be cool or something? FYI, EB is just way more than vanilla.

We didn't design it for fast computers, we have just pushed the RTW engine to its limit that a fast computer is now required.

We often refer to our start-date as 14AD, both are BCE/CE and BC/AD are legitimate terms to refer to different eras. I would like to know why you think we used BCE/CE over BC/AD.

Hey, i'm not acussing anyone here, can sorry i still can't tell u because i will spark a contoversy and i will be blamed an get kicked off this site for good. Reason y i asked it is because ur loading screens i saw all the famous dudes and stuff and you guys had the dates in which they were born and died in BCE and CE timeline. Hey i just don't want agression. Just wanted to know.

Honestly i cannot tell you some of the reasons, but thanks for telling me. The last thing i want is enemies and getting kicked off forums and stuff like that. Pushing the game to the limit is cool to an extent personally. It is a very good mod and i like your skins and the details in which you guys put the whole mod. I know I cannot have speed and a good mod unless i get a better com.

Thanks for answering the question for me.

If your reason is so insulting then it is quite obviously wrong, unless you think that same thing about many academics who also use the BCE/CE marking of eras. I cannot even concieve of a reason that would be so insulting that you would be thrown of a forum. But fair enough, though perhaps you shouldn't be so harsh and have such bad opinion of us.

Just a thought.

BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) are increasingly used in professional historical and anthropological work. That the EB team chooses to use this convention over the older (and explicitly sectarian) BC and AD is, in my view, evidence of the team's efforts to bring real scholarship to what would otherwise be little more than a history-flavored arcade game.

Also, there are people that refer to BCE (Before Christian Era) and CE (Christian Era), however the "Common Era" term works better for obvious reasons.

[No, I **** my pants!]

The reason for that is that EB uses tons of script, which makes it slow. Video card and cpu as far as I know doesnt matter, but RAM helps a ton. 1 GB is decent speed and 2 GB is fast.

[master88]

I don't view you bad, I don't hate you or anything like that. You know, if I did state what I had to state, you guys would make sure I never have an account on this site again (pesonally, it is not insulting, but it would spark off a whole debate and someone would definately close it off). I did'nt come here for enemies! You can close off the thread if you want to foot. I'll still play the eb mod. Others dudes just gave me answers that is good enough.
Have a great peaceful day eb team.

Simply put, EB is one of the best experiences that can be created with the vanilla RTW engine and by far the most historically accurate.
If loading times are frustrating you can add the -ne option to the shortcut and browse/read forums while you wait...

This is at least how I play EB and does the trick for me.
However, if you are time constrained and can't upgrade your machine you might want to look for alternatives which often can coexists with EB without problems...

[Marcus II]

Actually, it is EB that makes the game slow, because like someone said it pushes the limits of the game, but its not the fault of the EB team. RTW was designed poorly compared to MTW2. You will find that with the same computer you can play MTW2 with much much more eyecandy than you ever could with the RTW design.

Your computer is in need of upgrade anyhow.

Edit: Careful what you say next. EB is the best. Don't diss or you will face my wrath. I'm talkin about unleashing 10 stacks at once at you!

Alexander.exe is one obvious solution to this 'speed' problem..

[master88]

Yes, indeed i do need a faster com. What is alexander exe?

[maksimus]

It is a game Engine.. Like, EB uses RTW.exe 'target' to start an engine - that mean's the game! For EB you need Rome TW patched to 1,5 and EB,
But for you to use Alexander.exe engine you need + Alexander installed after RTW 1.5 patch.. Just follow the link and you will see.)

[master88]

Thanks dude.

[Zarax]

Alex won't do miracles, speed gain is never going to be over 20% (although it is significant) but it's stable and I think they even fixed the "immortal generals" problem recently.

Yes, it is fixed, After that Alexander EB team came to life
