[b0Gia]

Greetings Europa Barbarorum fans.

You are free to send me anything via email (option in my profile) or via private message if you want (requests, questions, reports, feedback etc you don't want to share here)

Today, we have a very special announcement for you. The release of a patch for our mod, Europa Barbarorum, for (now) the Rome Total War engine: EB 1.3!

This is stand alone so you need to remove everything and after that install this. For now compatible with nothing.

So what is the changelog?

[bowler]

some download links are the download links from mediafire are broken they cannot find the file of are deleted

I can't get the hotfix (and several of the other MediaFire links) to download either. Could it be that it is set to be unavailable to the general public?

[Ludens]

There are no dead links just obsolete fixes.

Actually, there are several dead links: the hotfix, map, no-borders and fatigue links. If these are obsolete, perhaps the initial post could be edited to remove them? Because this is not clear to a newcomer.

[bowler]

most of the mediafire links are dead i try it more than one time

[b0Gia]

Sorry my bad, somehow i messed mediafire links.

Update all mediafire links are working again.

[moriluk]

The Seleukid family member in Tarsos has a levy spear unit for a bodyguard?

Thanks for a new version of Europa Barbarorum

Alright guys, awesome mod, just registered on the forums. I've got to ask - did I do something wrong or is this a bug: I started a Romani campaign and everything is fine but with Karthadastim I couldn't save or load the game (I always activate the script). I tried ending the turn, also read somewhere to try and delete the preferences folder, all this failed. I don't usually play with Carthage but I wanted to try a campaign with them in EB. Did I do something wrong? BTW I use RTW Alex 1.9. Anyway thanks again for the great mod.

Hello slitebg, welcome to the Org and to EB ~:wave: .

The problem you describe does sound very strange. What do you mean by "can't save or load the game"? Are the buttons not available, is no save file generated, does the game crash?

Given that Alex EB isn't officially supported by the team, you might want to ask over at the Alexander Europa Barbarorum (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?94861-ALEXANDER-EB) thread.

[slitebg]

Thanks for the quick reply. Ah, silly me, forgot to pinpoint the issue! I've come across it on other forums but info is really scarce. The problem is the Save/Load Game buttons on the campaign 'esc' menu are greyed out. I haven't tried the Ctrl+S shortcut, that might work but it's still not ideal, like you know quicksave suffers the same problems like autosave.

Anyway, sorry, I had no idea Alex EB was not officially supported so I'll try this other thread. I posted here because all the install info about EB 1.3 Alex was here.

[vartan]

Will the original post be updated to reflect v1.31c as mentioned at the secondary forums (TWC)? Is the Org's EB forum considered deprecated?

To be honest, I'd like to know the answer to that as well.

Also, welcome back vartan ~:wave: .

Hi there, I posted on the other total war forum (The official one) about instructions on how o install this mod but I think here would be best. I have downloaded both 1.31a and b and extracted them both to R:TW Alexander (I have steam version). I also downloaded 1.3 itself and it's in my Alexander folder. What do I do now? I have no desktop icon for it and I don't know how to get it to do the applaunch thing. Please help, thanks.

EDIT: It is now saying I have no install of RTW, I have RTW Gold, is there a difference?

EDIT 2: I'm getting an error stating that it can't read a censored word?? "Failed to read censored dictionary word eb//chat_filter.san"

[mephiston]

Just passing by to point out that the Org, and not TWC, is the official forum for EB. :)

Unfortunately I can't help you. B0gia is the most suited to answer your questions.

[moriluk]

I have a question. In the EBBS 4 turn per year script you have eliminated the year "0". The original 1.2 files have script for year "0". I will probably never play that far but is this to fix a bug? I have to assume you did this for a reason.

[Slemboll]

Hi !
I have a question. Can I install 1.3 on top of EB 1.1, or do I have to have patch 1.2 and all the fixes for it installed first? Thanks

[l5c4sl3m0s]

I'm on a campaign with Rome on EB 1.2.
Is this version 1.3 compatible with saved games?
