Why not RTW v1.5???

Hello;
I'm wondering why you don't make your mod compatible with RTW v1.5 or RTW BI???
I found your mod so great ,But I can't use it because of v1.2 patch.~:angry:

It's coming - the next version, EB beta 0.8, will be for RTW 1.5.

Just install the 1.2 patch from the EB website and play now.

The EB team has said that it will be released When it is ready. No firm dates :(

Will it be comperitable with 1.6 as well, with swimming, new formations etc. ?
I heard the AI of 1.6 is a lot better...

We don't have any plans of porting to BI 1.6 so far.

We'll stick for the moment with 1.5.

While there are no plans for making EB compatible with 1.6, doing so yourself would be very easy. There are two simple methods: delete/rename your BI folder and simply run the .exe, or run the .exe with the -mod: command switch. I'd like to see a minimod after its release that adds a few BI-only features to EB, just to make use of the extra features.

As for whether the AI is any different to 1.5, that's debatable. With RTRPE, some people swear that the AI is better in 1.6, others claim there is no difference. Personally, I think there is a slight difference, especially in naval invasions by factions which have them enabled, but on the battlefield it seems roughly the same.

It seems to be implied that it is "sooner rather than later", but who knows how long testing will take if it turns up tricky problems? :)

In the meantime enjoy TA's previews and drool along with the rest of us.

I ran through 10 turns of a mid-game Rome RTRPE with and without using the BI exe (doing nothing but autoresolving). The strategic AI with BI seemed better in consolidating its stacks and took more of my settlements.

BI did seem to avoid RTWs problem of a profileration of small AI stacks. Before, I had assumed this was just due to the difference in the campaign settings, but maybe the AI was tweaked?
