I used to play RTW years ago, but haven't done so for a long time, so I decided to go back to it since I was hearing so much about the sequel, so I decided to look for mods and your EB mod seems really good. So I'm trying to install it, but it's really confusing.
At first I just visited your main site and downloaded the two files (EB 1.1 and 1.2) and I managed to install them correctly and got the game working via Steam.
However I then found out that there's a different installation if you want to use the Alexander expansion, which I do. I have Rome Gold (with BI) and Alex on Steam and I've tried following the advice which is found in various parts of this site to get it working, but I just can't seem to get the mod to run.
There seems to be an issue with a lot of the advice being out of date, I mean I don't know if info from 2007 or 2010 is still valid or not. For instance I tried to follow the steps outlined in the Installing EB with steam guide (the forum won't let me link to it), but some of the steps which it outlined weren't possible. For instance it says that after you install the EB1.1 and 1.2 it will automatically create desktop shortcuts for you and you have to then edit the target of those shortcuts. But no such shortcuts were ever created on my desktop, so I can't really do anything with that.
So, can someone please outline to me exactly how to get the mod working on Steam with Alexander?
Thanks.
