hi I was wondering if there anyway of getting RTW's Trasimene and Triebia historical battles on to EB custom maps I know you got to get the location of the battlefield to do this can it be found in the files of the battles? I've had a scan through but couldn't see the locations that I need are they there?

or if not is the battle map editor that CA able to work with EB?

Yes, add "-enable_editor" to the end of your EB shortcut's target line, the editor can then be accessed from the options menu ingame.
I'm not sure if it works with EB or not but I would assume so.
Hope that helps

If you are looking for vanilla RTW maps it can't be done, as far as I know. Map coordinates from vanilla historical battles are from the original campaign map and as you know EB has edited campaign map, so the battle locations are nowhere to be found.

Unless I have understood very wrong the mechanics of the battle editor.

no it's running the maps and I can edit them, all you've got to get from the folders is the bookmarks.rcb and the map.wfc I tryed on trasimene with all the folder and it CTD so I got the bare minimum and is got me on the map :2thumbsup:

although I don't think what I tryed to get first one will work :shame:
