Greetings EB Folks,

I'm brand new to EB, though I've been playing RTW for a couple of months now.

Can I install EB as a separate executable program, and still have a playable RTW on my system? I'm eager to get started with EB, but I have two active campaigns running in RTW, and I don't want to lose them.

Also, does EB require the "unlocking" of non-Roman factions in the same way as RB? In other words, if I uninstall RTW then reinstall & patch 1.5 followed by EB, will I still need to play a Roman campaign in order to have access to playable non-Roman factions?

Any help will be appreciated :beam: ...

EB is a mod. It well get stored in a separate folder of RTW. So yes, you can continue to play RTW (v1.5) without any problem.

You don't need to unlock any faction. All 20 factions are unlocked.

Eb needs to be installed into the same folder as your RTW, but it will not overwrite any vanilla files (well 1 - the loading bar, but that only changes the look of things). It installs the game in a folder called eb, which, when the game is run from a shortcut with -mod:eb in the command line, will cause RTW to look in the eb folder first before looking in the RTW folder.

Thanks for the quick responses, folks ~:) .

Getting ready to take the EB plunge, I think :juggle2: . Can I install EB right over my current RTW1.5, given that I've played RTW a lot? Or do I need to uninstall/reinstall? All factions are now unlocked in my RTW, so I'd hate to lose that by an uninstall/reinstall :oops: ...

We literally don't touch anything in the RTW folder (except for the loading screens), so your RTW 1.5 game will be fine. Install EB in the folder with RomeTW.exe (ie the main folder for RTW).
