EB 0.8 Working with BI 1.6 patch

[Dr Jacob]

I found this is possible , to play Eb.08 with BI 1.6 patch wich makes AI better in both campaign and battles !!!!!!!


Procedure:

copy whole BI backup directory with 1.6 patch instaled, except for the BI subfolder and install mods over that

Chesta ,


Your way to make Eb working with BI plataform , the cd way ignores the 1.6 patch , and 1.6 patch is vital !!!

I prefer 1.5 patch to BI with no 1.6 patch .


SO for the using of 1.6 bi patch u need to use other way to do it and it is like this :



1) Install RTW to a new directory

2)Install BI on that new rtw

3)Install patch 1.6


4)Move the data directory were u have u Eb 1.5 install and put it on the new rtw

5)Move the EB directory were u have eb.1.5 install and put it in the new rtw directory


6) Go to u EB Shotcut and go properties were u have this:"D:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -nm -show_err

Change this to :"D:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:eb -nm -show_err

AND VOILA , run it have fun


Also , is it worth to install last darth ai formations to EB???? , i remenber testing them and i lost some battles in custom lol

Dr Jacob,

I realised my mistake and have edited my post there. The new instructions are now pretty much the same as yours. Thanks for pointing it out - I'm a twit ~D

Do you need BI to play EB?

[Dr Jacob]

You can play EB with RtW 1.5 patch


But playing on BI improves : the game run better and faster and AI is better


Now , the last Darthvander job with Formations may also improve battles , i did test them in the past , what i ask is someone who has already test EB in BI plataform and what u think about it ? Darth formations are worth or not ?

Can't I just install EB on a BI 1.6 installation and on the bi shortcut add: -mod: ?:dizzy2:
