How to tell you're playing EB
I put this together in response to a thread on TWC, where it seemed we were all talking past one another. Now I note that in the tech forum, we have a very good "how to install EB" guide. But I think it stops just short of something which might need to be tacked on the end - how to be sure you've done everything right (and how to activate the script).
Thus I present you with
How to tell if you're playing Europa Barbarorum, a pictorial guide.
The loading screen on firing up the executable:

There's another one that comes after it, but I don't like taking captures while it's doing stuff.
The main menu:

Choosing single player:

Campaign selection screen, here chosing the Ptolemies:

Campaign loading screen:

The first thing you see on a new Ptolemaic game, I click on Memphis, advisor pops up:

Click on advisor's face:

Click on "show me how" and it disappears:

Game now with script activiated; there's my faction leader:

Now it probably needs filling out with more instructions on what's going on, but it's a start. Useful?

I think it's much easier to tell: "If it kicks ass, it's EB."
Re: How to tell you're playing EB
What if it's Chuck Norris?

Do I need to pull out the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny on you?
Re: How to tell you're playing EB
Chuck Norris will also kick ass playing EB.
Re: How to tell you're playing EB
Seriously though, does anyone else think it would be a good idea to add it to the end of the installation instructions? A kind of visual validation that you've done everything correctly.

Seems like a good idea.
Re: How to tell you're playing EB
They would be asking why their ptolomeic faction color isnt golden :smash:
Re: How to tell you're playing EB
I'd put emphasis on the fact the initial loading screen can take a while...that makes new users complain a lot because many think it has crashed.

If it kicks both your and EB's ass, then it is Chuck Norris.

And if it kicks your, EB's, AND Chuck Norris's, Then its Bruce Lee!!!!! :yes::beam:
Re: How to tell you're playing EB
Bruce Lee? EB could kick Bruce Lee's ass into the next world...twice...with no legs! Maybe...Bruce Lee should appear in EB as a special character...and army of martial artists armed with nunchucks!...or...not? :2thumbsup:

Re: How to tell you're playing EB
QS, now you´ll confuse all the newbs with your golden Ptolies.
