EB can't start up, plz remedy this problem.

[Achilles the last]

I have a problem when starting EB, there is a message which comes up saying "Error: Filename doesn't exist: eb/data/animations/engine/ballista/ballista_idle.CAS"
Please remedy this problem, I would like to play eb badly.

Looks like it didn't install properly as that appears to be a missing file. Try a reinstallation.

You can also check the integrity of your installation with the validation tool (sticky).

I re-installed 3 times but it still doesn't work, btw what is the validation tool?

Check the thread here. https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=93236

Basically it checks if your installation is the same as that of a working version of EB.
