Hello,

My current version of EB is able to load up, but when I go to began a new game, it gives me a message of "Choose an item from the list." The new game link dosen't do a thing. Also, when I went to start a historical game just to check if the program was working, I got a CTD as the battle was set to load. Any ideas?

Here is my install process:

I installed RTW, added the 1.3, then 1.5 patch. I then installed BI, followed by the 1.6 patch. After this, I installed EB into the RTW folder, not the BI folder, and then ran through all of the recommendations for running BI with EB 1.1 on the FAQ page.

Restore to the original state or reinstall

And then try this :


It's quite easy actually:

1) Right-click on your EB1.1 icon, then on properties. Search for a line where it says something like ''RomeTW-exe''. Just change that to ''RomeTW-BI.exe''.

2) Go to the folder you have EB installed, and copy the .txt file in eb/data/text called ''imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt''/ Rename the copy to ''barbarian_invasion_regions_and_settlement_names.txt''.

3) Next, go to ''eb\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign''. Copy ''imperial_campaign'' and rename it to ''barbarian_invasion''. Then delete map.rwm (if yo have already played a campaign).

4) This is optional, but it's a nice extra. Go to your RTW's original folder and locate the ''bi'' file. From there go to data\ui\"pick a culture"\interface and copy battlepage_03. Now paste it in your eb\data\ui\''every culture''\interface. This enables the shieldwall and schiltrom battle icons. Now you can alter the EDU (export_descr_unit) file to your likeness. You can, for example, give the ''shield_wall'' ability next to the formation line for a certain unit. Same goes with schiltrom. You can also add the ''can_swim'' ability to any unit next to the attributes line.

Have fun!!1
