if im not too lazy to get a clean copy of EB reinstalled then yes.
btw, i dig your sig:laugh4:

[Rodion Romanovich]

thanks! :bow:

If you do install EB, how about GMT 1500hrs this Saturday?

For balance's sake, for example Pahlav vs Romani may not be very even. Here's a list of games I think would be fairly balanced:

Lusotannan vs Romani
Arverni/Aeudi vs Romani
Romani vs Sweboz
Arverni/Aeudi vs Sweboz
Arverni vs Aedui
Epeiros vs Romani
Epeiros vs Koinon Hellenon
Makedonia vs Arche Seleukeia
Ptolemaioi vs Arche Seleukeia
Romani vs Kart Hadastim
Pahlav vs Sauromatae

hey, and what if i want to play as Hay? it aint on your list:laugh4:
anyways, i didnt manage to get EB installed in a new folder. apparently it requires a whole new reinstall process which im reluctant to undertake. my current EB is kind of unique, ultimate version with lots of mini fixes, BI exe etc.
do you have RTRPE? we could try that for MP. you need to run MP batch between battles though.

Sarkiss, simply extract the files from the EB installer using 7-zip.

thanks, Bovi:beam: i didnt realise it was that easy. just needed to add stuff in exe's target line.
i got 0.8a full + 0.81av2Patch. afaik it's all you need, is that right?

I have been playing with BI.exe, is it possible for me to join?
However I am of course adapted to GMT 10+.
I am very interested in mulitplayer as the original Rome: Total War multiplayer members were rather.. Unorthodox.. I don't think they ever wondered very much about the historical meaning of this game.

yeah, those kids are nasty:laugh4:
if you got BI than every one else has to use it i guess... or you could go back to 1.5. thats what i just did. any other custom changes will cause incompatability.
anyhow, get on xfire if you want to play. ill be on this evening.

Nice, I'll join the lobby at 1500 GMT today, I'll be wearing a rose in the suit so you can recognize me :grin: Joking aside, I'll use the name "EB rules!" so you can recognize me. To make it simpler, I suggest all others joining today use a name starting with "EB"!

[PershsNhpios]

1500... You are on GMT.. I am on GMT +10....

1500+
1000
-----
2500

So I should join at 2500 hours! I'll do it!

However, I have no idea how complicated this is.
I have a grand feeling it will be a challenge to get working.
I am playing the campaigns on the BI.exe, so do I just go into the 1.5.exe and join the multiplayer??

[PershsNhpios]

So if I am punctual, you are meeting 2 hours from the posting of this.
That means 1 am for me, however I shall be there.

I have downloaded Hamachi, and I have set it up. I hope.
The problem is the server is full. Are there any others?
Will I be able to meet you at the given time, will any of us?

[Rodion Romanovich]

I'm logging in right now... cu! :2thumbsup:

Thanks for the nice games! 40,000 mnai seems like a quite good setting for EB mp, or what did you think? ~:) Hopefully we can do this again some time in the future, for me there won't be much time in the nearest two months though.

same here.
imo 35k does nicely too. so i'd say it lies somewhere between 30 and 35-40k.
gg, thanks to all:beam:

COME ON GUYS....

get on X-fire!!!!!!!!!!

[PershsNhpios]

Very sorry I couldn't get back to you Neo, I had to have a dog of ours shot.
We will no doubt meet again soon though.

For all those wishing to join us, those who have written in this thread along with Madmatg have been playing at approximately 02:00 GMT +10, which is rather hard on me.
We have not been using hamachi but the gamespy network provided.
It's been very good! However I have lost all but one miserably.
