EB v1.21c Alex - Alexander Transformation - Alex Section

[b0Gia de Bodemloze]

The modpack that EB v1.21 Alex is based on won the first place in 2014 and 2015 Mod Awards in the category: Most Popular Mod and Sub-mod!

Hello to all Europa Barbarorum fans, i want to inform you that there is also planned an alex version of v1.21. The reason is except the use of advanced Alex engine, that it will include 40 new units at least! Unlike rtw/bi the Alex offers the same limits as Medieval 2 kingdoms 500 unique models and units. The units will not come in one patch but gradually. The Alex engine is the future for the Europa Barbarorum 1.21

Long Live Europa Barbarorum!

Instructions:

Seems there are 2 versions of Alexander Total War, the one that Alex is installed into Rome Total War folder and the steam one that Alex is installed in a specific folder named Rome Total War Alexander.

• If you have the first version you unpack the patch into your RTW folder

• If you have the steam version, you copy your EB folder from RTW folder and you paste it into your Rome Total War Alexander Folder. Then you unpack the patch into your Rome Total War Alexander folder.

For both versions then make a new shortcut of RomeTW-ALX. Go to properties and add to destination -mod:eb -nm -show_err -noalexander

Update: Version 1.21c Alex Released!

Ok slight problem getting the Alex version running i get the EB launch screen but also this message, Failed to read censored word dictionary file: eb/data//chat_filter.san then the game exits. The R1 version works fine played 80+ turns last night. I have the Steam version and verified game cache first.

From the instructions:

Copy your EB folder into your Rome Total War Alexander folder, download and extract the v1.21 Alex into your Rome Total War Alexander folder, make a shortcut of Alexander Total War, go to properties and add to destination -mod:eb -nm -show_err -noalexander

No problem in the steam version. I started two companies for the Sarmatian and Saka. Everything works without problem . I would like to see more types of steppe nomads units (in future)!

Just to clarify, as I haven't used EB before:
Download EB1.1.exe Install in Steam ALX folder
Download EB12.exe Install in Steam ALX folder
Download EB v1.21Alex and unzip unto Steam ALX folder.
Have I missed anything.
Oh and, make a shortcut of Alexander Total War, go to properties and add to destination -mod:eb -nm -show_err -noalexander

Yes you should follow these if you want to play eb with alex engine.

Worked a treat!
Any idea what the trivial script, Documentation, recruitment viewer are. I put them in the steam ALX folder anyway.

Ok

i have a Non steam R:TW version, but after i am installed EBv1.21 Alex, i think i got problem
this is my step to install EBv.21 Alex:
1. Install EB 1.1 to RTW folder
2. Install EB 1.20 + fix file in to RTW folder
3. Testing and Run EB using ROME.exe, run very smooth
4. Download and unpack EBv1.21 Alex.rar to RTW folder
5, check in to RTW folder, i saw EBv1.21 Alex folder was created, and i don't touch it
6. made shortcut of Alexander Total War, go to properties and add to destination -mod:eb -nm -show_err -noalexander
7. i get the EB launch screen but also this message, Failed to read censored word dictionary file: eb/data//chat_filter.san then the game exits


what is wrong Bogia?


note : before this EB v1.21 Alex release, i use your submod for alex, and game run smooth

You need to unpack the version into rome total war alexander folder

[Duck Without Wings]

I am having some trouble. This is how I have installed the mod in my Steam version of the game.

1. Installed EB 1.1 to RTW Alexander
2. Installed EB 1.20 to RTW Alexander
3. Downloaded and unpack EBv1.21 Alex.rar to RTW Alexander
4. Changed launch params in Steam to -mod:eb -nm -show_err -noalexander -ne

The game launches fine and the splash screen displays the EB1.21 watermark like it should, but it I get an error. "Generic Error Building db, unable to find ambient with id 'egyptian_city_wall_straight'" is the specific error I receive. Do I need the 1.20 patches? I was under the impression that those patches were not necessary.

Do you installed EB 1.1 and EB 1.2 first?
You don't need to change launch params only make a new shortcut of Alex with these.

Wait!
Redoit!

1.Install EB 1.1 to a folder of your own choice!, in this case Maximus_Mouse)
2.Install EB 1.2 (see above)
3.Move the content of the Maximus_Mouse to Alexander folder (overwrite everything!!!!!!!!!!)
4.Unzip the 1.21 Alex to Alexander folder (overwrite)
5.Done!!! (dont forget to set AA_OFF and to set the building effects to medium/high due to high interference with steam-account that slugs the
experience down (as to at least the RS.3.1 whereas you can play steam-Alexander without a steam-account, that alone is marvellous,

If just the modders will do that with Steam-Alexander it would be fabolous...anyway off for another 8 years...

[Duck Without Wings]

Like I said, I did install 1.1 and 1.2 before 1.21. If I launch it through Steam, which I do, it does require that I change the launch params. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice, but I get the same error. It is like the file is missing.

[b0Gia de Bodemloze]

Could you try to install the rtw version?

[Johnadiw26]

i think this is my solution about failed to read censored word dictionary file: eb/data//chat_filter.san (for non-steam version guide instalation) :


1. Install EB 1.1 to RTW folder
2. Install EB 1.20 + fix file in to RTW folder
3. Download and unpack EB v1.21 Alex.rar to Alexander folder
4. Open your EB\data folder in Alexander folder, search chat_filter.san file, after you found chat_filter.san file, then copy+paste chat_filter.san file to EB\data folder in RTW folder
5. made a new shortcut of ALX.EXE, go to properties and add to destination -mod:eb -nm -show_err -noalexander
6.click a shorcut, and enjoy the game




i hope this is gonna help anyone who get error like me, and this step is work for me, and sorry guys for my bad english,
as information i use this link http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showth...ANDER-EB/page5 and little bit trial and error to help me solve the problem.




LONG LIVE EUROPA BARBARORUM!

Your 1.21 RTW version does work on Rome Total War Gold. It seems something might be missing in the 1.21 Alex version for Rome Total War Alexander.

I don't think so, try this copy your eb folder from your rtw folder into your alex total war folder. Then extract eb alex into the same folder, make the shortcut and run.
