Alex and BI exes

[decimator22]

Hi, this might be an already answered question an I'm sorry if this will turn out to be spam, but could I have both exes using the XGM and which to do you reccomend?

Thx for the response.

The easiest way might be to have two installs of XGM (two seperate RTW folders with XGM installed). But there also might be a way to have it on one install, I don't know for sure.

I have the Gold-edition(contains BI) and the Alexander expansion and I only have one install of XGM. I recommend playing with Alex-exe.

I'd say BI exe is the most feature rich one, alex might have slightly better AI.

In the end, the choice is yours.

the shield wall looks pretty cool so im going with BI. plus the alex trial ran out

I just bought a copy of alex tw, and the mod is 10 times better in every aspect. The ai in BI was pissing me off with all it's cheesey crap. The features were cool but a crapy ai ruined the whole thing.

I decided to 1st use the Alex.exe started playing as Kyrene and have had it tuff since Ptolies attacked me.

Since I chose to use the Alex.exe I can tell you I haven't regretted it at all. The loss of features, most of which it needs be said the ai doesn't even use appropriately, is imho a small price to pay for having an ai that is significantly less likely to annoy you so much you stop playing. I've really noticed it on the campaign maps. Alex also has some features that BI doesn't which are often overlooked. The ability to forbid ai factions from attacking another ai faction (so as to ensure balanced and historical faction development) and the ability to have many many many more unique units (something like up to 2 times the dmb entires of BI) are two that come to mind.
