hi,
sorry i cant do that :( maybe someone else :wall:
Maksimus can you confirm the following? EAEM for EB does NOT require trivial script.Quote:

Can someone please start a new campaign as AS and check what the income for Antiocheia looks like in the settlement scroll? This one little detail is driving me nuts :dizzy2:

But Maksimus, if I remember correctly, I tried your Alx Engine only mod and using those files I ran single player script and it worked (you changed the xml or else it wouldnt have used alx.exe). But for EAEM, I have to use a shortcut instead of the single player script. Why didnt you just make single player script use alx.exe just like you did in engine-only mod?
hum did I ?:candle:
Alx.exe engine file's have only few files changed and the target line, while Eaem has major modifications (especially EDU and some system ones) .. so for eaem means I would need to make xlm tweaks which 1- i never did before in my life and 2- o.o i dont know how to do it
:shrug:
I was playing alex.exe with nothing but the target changed in in the shortcut. Now I realized my faction leader is immortal from some trait or something, and to fix it I made all of those file changes from your instructions. When I changed it all whenever I loaded or started a new game RTW exited out, so I had to switch it back. Is there any way to make your Faction leader not immortal without making all of those changes..
Just a heads up, there's a problem with the the export_VnVs.txt that AlexEB provides which stops the Sweboz trait names from being rendered properly. You can read more on that here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=113859&page=6
HI, guys I have a problem. File Front keeps deleting EAEM.. even after 500 downloads the second time and about 1000 the fist time.. they are really not fair..
Anyone here have any solution to this? I keed uploading files but it seems usless..
Anyone with any solid site for upload?
Anyone that can host the mod?
@blado
Hi,
There is a way to make your FMs not immortal, you just need to follow instructions.
Or use the uploaded files (tho now EAEM has issues coz of Filefront)
@Saldunz
Do you have any screenshots of that? I know i manually implemented all issues about the names. Pls show me screenshots.
I can't do screenshots very easily, as I currently have no place to upload them. But here's an excerpt from a newly downloaded export_VnVs.txt from the AlexEB files.
This is exactly as how it appears in-game. As soon as I switched the file back to the original one provided by EB, the '?'s became proper vowels again.Quote:
{Segerumiskoz} R?m?reufondz
{Segerumiskoz_desc}
R?m?-reufonđz\n(R?-m?-REU-fon-dhz, "Breaker of Rome")\nThis xorjonoz has brought his warriors to bear against the mighty legions of Rome and arrayed his warbands before the walls of many Roman strongholds. He and his mighty host have come away intact, laden with booty. Now able to march on a path that might lead through the streets of Rome, it is the ultimate testament of glory and success for any tribesman, whether at the head of the army, or in the ranks of their master.
Also, I should mention again that this problem seems to only occur in this particular AlexEB file. All other Germanic names appear fine from what I can tell.Quote:

oh those are engine files?
EAEM has it fixed i think
Yeah, they're engine files, and I just downloaded the EAEM yesterday - I can confirm there was still a problem with that one file.
i see, well, i have issue with uploading files anywhere ... they cant seem to be hosted on filefront anymore, this is third time they delete them
so how can i download alex if the link dont work any ideas?
Just download the light version.
Can someone upload the files again? I got the errors that "Turkeys" has and can't correct them after installing the update. For some reason Rome overwrites some of the new files when launching and gives me errors now.
Filefront will give an email that your files are to be deleted if you don't log in and 'unselect' them for deletion within a few days of the email. Make sure that filefront emails aren't going to your spam....
I suggest that u either upload the file in the forum itself like the cute wolf has done for his colonial mod project.......or u can try fileplanet......it is another filehosting server but unlike...filefront they don't delete big files........Quote:

I suggest you should try rapidshare.......
ahh file planet too.. but i dont think you can download unless your are registered?
also rapidshare delete it after 10 downloads if i dont add files to collector account.. which i dont know .. its doesnt work for me at all :(
yep, u need to register to fileplanet....but its free....another site like that is gamespot.....Quote:

1)- The default resolution of my monitor is 800x600. Alex EB does'nt switch to 1024x768 like vanilla EB & RTW-Alex did. So I get a half image which makes it unplayable. However, if I manually change the resolution, than there is no problem.
2)- when I finally played alex eb (playing as macedon), than I found all factions at the start have elite units, thats cool :beam:.....but then, I found that Konion Hellenon as well as Pergamnon have the macedonian Hetairoi in their stacks. Pergamnon even have access to Seleucids Hellenic Cataphracts. I believe that this destroys the advantage one faction has over the other. So I wish to replace the cavalry of these greek factions with their own elite cavalry i.e. Greek noble cavalry or Lonchopriene (messed up with spelling) Hippies.
So which files I have to edit ??????? EDU of sp backup ????? or any other :help:
Whenever i start Alex EB i get a problem with EB/data//chat_filter.san.
Some help pls??
Did you install Alexander expansion (vanilla) before installing EAEM ???????? :book:Quote:

hmm well that worked but now i've got another error it says eb/data/desrc_rebel_factions.txt line 1516 collum 21 eastern infantry indian spearmen.
Major problem, I get a CTD in the loading screen after ending my game with something like, "destroying a texture already destroyed" any fix available.:help:
which files I've to edit ???????:no:
Thanks in advance:help:
EDIT : Fixed the above issue but still I have a problem with the loading screen.....I have written it five posts after this one (or you can say the next post written by me).....
Can some 1 give me easier instructions to follow on how to install Alexander EB i dont understand
a) To play EB with only improved engine you need use
5. ALX engine files.
b) If you want to play full modification you need to use

Here's are fully updated alex.exe ENGINE mod files that work with TrivialScript
NOTE2:Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
THEY ARE NOT A PART OF THE EXTENDED EB ALEXANDER MOD
USE THEM ONLY TO PLAY VANILLA EB WITH ALX.exe
Wtf does all this mean?
Its offering you either a small fix for EB to make the units smarter?
And its also offering the whole new mod?
What do i go for?
Plz help some 1 im desprate to play this sub mod ty .
P/s i dont know wtf my post has come up with spoiler alerts :(
Forget EAEM. You do not need it, unless you are willing to go the two miles for a few benefits. All I am saying is that it will be easier for you to just do the basic ALEX mod.
As for "Change the target line of EB.exe single player", the .exe shortcut is changed for this mod. EB will no longer start through rtw.exe, but through alex.exe. You need to change the target line, which is found when you right click the .exe file and then choose "Properties". That took me ten minutes of tinkering, as my EB and Trivial Script are in different places. Supposing your EB is where it should be, in "Program Files", "the Creative Assembly" folder, then you will just have to download this and copy+paste it into your general RTW folder.
Wait, nevermind. The fixed .exe on FileFront cannot be found :inquisitive:. All the materials pertaining to this are somehow not on FileFront, or at least not in their original palce.
In details:
1. Install Rome Total War + 1,3 and 1,5 patches.
2. Install Alexander expansion or extract the Alx.exe file only into your RTW folder.
3. Install EB 11 and EB 12.
4. EB fixes. Where do i find these fixes?
a) To play EB with only improved engine you need use
5. ALX engine files. whats it mean how do i use the alx engine files?
6. Change the target line of EB.exe single player. how do i do that in simple terms?
24062008 whats that number?
Here's are fully updated alex.exe ENGINE mod files that work with TrivialScript
NOTE2: THESE FILES ARE FOR ''ENGINE'' USE ONLY
THEY ARE NOT A PART OF THE EXTENDED EB ALEXANDER MOD
USE THEM ONLY TO PLAY VANILLA EB WITH ALX.exe
EB 12
http://www.zshare.net/download/51697518abdc7e31/
I downloaded and unpacked these files using 7-zip. But where do i put these files exactly?
Im sorry if i seem to lack the skills of installing mods but this is really hard, if some 1 cud plz help i wud appreciate it so much thx
lionhard, there are two versions of Alexander EB:
1) playing the same 'ol EB game but using the Alex engine that crashes less and has a supposedly better AI or
2) playing EAEM, a submod of EB that not only uses the Alex engine but also changes units, adds units, and anything else it does.
Assuming you just want to play with the alex engine...this is what you do:
Make sure you've installed RTW, 1.3, and 1.5 patches.
Install EB 1.1, 1.2 patch, and the fixes located here.
Download and install the file called Alx on EB 1.2 (engine files). Somebody should help you find it because for some reason the links on first page don't work anymore.
Once you've unzipped those files into EB, you need to create a shortcut that links to the Alexander executable file with the appropriate extensions (e.g. no movies...windowed mode, etc).
Honestly, the first page needs to be revised. It's not clear enough in my opinion.
Thx vartan thats helped a lot. 1 last question, its the first time iv heard of the fixes, does everyone install those fixes when playing vanilla EB? iv only ever installed EB 1.1 and 1.2 thx once again for ur help
Sorry to write against you, but I think that installing EAEM is worth the trouble :sweatdrop: 'cause you just have to install EB 1.1 with 1.2 than add the fixes followed by installing EAEM plus EAEM fixes than download the modified shortcut & simply play the game with cool extra units & other benefits........:yes:Quote:

Pls help :help:........This is spoiling an otherwise beautiful game :wall:............
p.s. @ lionhard the vanilla EB fixes are in the EB bug reports section of the forum......
I like EB as it is i would just love better AI. Maybe ill try the whole mod 1 day, im in work atm but when i get home im gonna install the alex changes if i manage first time (which i wont) ill prob be postin back here 2nite for help:embarassed:
also i think this mod shud host a better page, if its as good as it sounds a page on a forum is a sad place for a decent mod :(
Rite heres what iv done.
Before i start remember this is not the Alexander EB mod its the engine to make better AI on the vanilla version
So far i have
1) installed RTW 1.5 and Alexander
2) installed EB 1.1
3) installed EB 1.2
4) installed EB fixes
5) unzipped Alx on EB files into my EB
My questions so far
1) Do i need to change the target line for single player or has installed Alx on EB files automatically done that?
my target line atm is "C:\Program Files\EBTrivialScript\EBTrivialScript.exe" -s ebconfig.xml -runeb -type "Single Player"
and this is not making it any different
2) do i use rome total war CD or alexander CD to run this engine?
3) How will i know when its all done properly?
Please some 1 help lol im dying to play this
You have unzipped into...I think it's EB/Data...whatever. Wherever you need to do it you have done it.Quote:

Use the Alex CD.
Ok i unzipped the files into EB data and changed target line to "C:\Rome - Total WarEB\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -nm -noalexander"
this is what its saying now any ideas?
it says failed to read censored word dictionary file: eb/data//chat_filer.san
Ok i manually copied and pasted eb/data//chat_filer.san into the data slot in EB and it worked.
Now my problem is i tryed selecting EB main campaign and it says "please select an item from the list"
so whats this error and how do i solve it?
Iv done everything it says whats going on plz help some 1 :shame:
Also just to add i had a saved game as koinon hellon and when i pressed start it did but their was no night battle function?
Edit: only the main menu works i cant start custum battles either :(
hi all, i would try EB with ALEX engine, i now that i must dowload the folder ALX ON EB12 but i see 2 links on the first page:
i must use only ONE of the two links or both of them? (the link to filefront does'nt work)
thanks in advance
hello, well i have a problem, i have EB1.2 with fixes, and i wanted to play this with alex engine, so i download the alex zip and copy it to Eb data, next i copy alex exe from my CD to the main instalation folder or rome total war 1.5(dont hv BI) next i change the target line to that of the "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -nm -noalexander then i hit the EB exe single player, it starts with out error and when i get to menu my single player options are as the same as MP exe , been i cant play EB campaing only historical and custom... :(
It seems like most of you who are getting errors have issues with Rome, EB, or Alex files. I had gotten those too, but honestly issues don't arise if you mod over a clean Rome install. I made a clean Rome install, clean EB 1.1, 1.2 w/ fixes, unzipped EB 1.2 with Alex engine files into the appropriate folder, and downloaded the pre-made shortcut link. And I had no problems whatsoever. I think the only problems for y'all is downloading the wrong files maybe. I have all the original files that were up on filefront before they were taken down (it seems as if this is what happened) if any of you need them.
Good luck.
P.S. Knight of Heaven, by the way, when I used the Alex engine, because certain files are written over, I couldn't play MP with others cause of data conflicts. Just saying this cause I know you play in the online tourney.
Vartan if its not too much trouble could u sort me out with the EB12_on_ALX.exe! file because iv just reinstaleld it all again and its came up with same thing.
This time i didnt install alexander the game i just threw in the engine files that i had. i wana play this so bad. much appreciated if u can help :)
I didn't want to have to do this, but alright.
http://www.infinitemb.com/download/2...with_Link.zip/
Unzip this file to...say your desktop. Open the folder. Inside you will find two objects: 1) a shortcut called alxeb and 2) a folder named 'eb' (without quotes).
Before you proceed, make sure you have done the following:
Fresh install of RTW (do not install RTW into program files, install into a directory in root of your drive).
For convenience, let us assume we are installing Rome Total War into C:\RTW_EB
Patch RTW 1.3
Patch RTW 1.5
Install EB 1.1 into C:\RTW_EB
Patch EB 1.2 into C:\RTW_EB
EB 1.2 Fixes (You will need to unzip these fixes into C:\RTW_EB\EB\Data. If you did this correctly you will be prompted with endless overwrite prompts...choose to overwrite all.)
Copy alex executable file (engine file with purple icon) from your Alexander CD into C:\RTW_EB
Copy 'eb' folder that I mentioned in the beginning into C:\RTW_EB where the EB folder from the EB installation is located.
This will prompt you to overwrite files that may be located within the original EB folder (checks for shared file names), choose Yes to overwrite all files.
Phew...now that you've done the bulk of the work, go back to the shortcut to the EB_Alex game that you found from the zip file you downloaded. Go to its properties page and if I remember correctly there are two important boxes named Target and Launch Path or just Path. Anyways, one points to ...\Rome - Total War\rtw-alex.exe or something along those lines. Change the first part to say C:\RTW_EB because THAT is where your ALEX engine file from your CD is located (you copied it in the beginning, remember?)
Do the same with the launch path (does not point to file, only should change from C:\Program files\activision\rome... to C:\RTW_EB).
Good luck and I hope this helps because I have not used this engine or EAEM mod for over a month (because I need vanilla EB 1.2 to play online with others...I find playing humans more fun than the campaign. You can still have a separate EB folder just for the Alex engine so you can campaign, but that's a long long story. I can't be bothered!)
well thanks anyway, but i did what you say, but it didnt work, or to be acurate, it work , but i dont use alex exe. i use Rome exe, and i did start a campaing, and i have all the alex features, night battles etc the only thing i did was to copy those files to eb data to replace some files, i extratc the alex exe from CD but i dont use it.
Well as for the files are changed i can still do MP battles, its still compatible to anyone becouse i start with rome exe. and the files from this mod dont overwrite the EDU files so its still compatible to MP online. You should be able to play MP with alex engine working.
To conclude i instal the alex features but i cant get alex exe to work properly, so i use the rome exe. I belive my problem is with trivial script, i have then instaled on another folder, that is not Rome total war folder, but im not sure about that.
Ok progress made, jesus that took me ages lol.
Thx for ur help vartan, i had to wipe clean my EB twice cas i copied the EB file over with out changing names and some were not copied bla bla and forgot to patch it to 1.2 and add the fixes. But its almost bed time lol work early. So i carried on installing the gear to see how far i got.
i used the alexeb shortcut to start the game using the alex cd, when the EB loading screen came on it had alexander in yelow at the bottom, so i was almost screeming with excitement iv been trying to get better AI for so long and this mod has been a pain, obviously i had the wrong files.
1 question does this engine include night battles? or is that the EDSM mod?
What change in EB can i look for other than better AI to confirm i have done everything properly.
Once again thx :) anything u need that i can do to return the favour is welocme
thx
The Alex engine do include Alex features, night battles , better Ai , well this is posted in the first post
lionhard you should see the Alexander on bottom of load screen and better AI as well as night battles, but that is all. There will be nothing else really.
That's what the EAEM is for, changes units, adds alot of units to the campaign map, makes the whole game longer and harder. Also needs more patience from you. But I think unless you're ready for commitment, the engine is pretty great.
Good luck and have fun. Sorry you didn't get it to work Knight, maybe next year you'll get lucky ;)
I tryed campaign and didnt get night battles maybe tonight it will work wen i reinstall it
well as far as i konw if you atack should be a option on the lower right to night battles, as well better Ai on the battlefield, and in campaing, i konw Ai retrain their units, there is more naval invasions.
I messed up on my 2nd install and forgot to add the alex exe and started taking away documents id added previously an started losing myself till i realised what id really done.
Anyway its working again and i have the night attack function in my campaign, but when i tested it as koinon hellon it wouldnt let me click the box for night attack with 1 general.
But with another it let me click the box and night attack worked, shudnt it always let u click the box and then see what the out come is?
I feel the AI has improved in battle now its time to check the campaign role play to see if its made the right effects.
Il be so happy if its working correctly :)
ps. Wub u vartan :P
Finally, you got it through.......Quote:

I know rofl.
Now i have a problem and its a major draw back
When you click on a unit whilst in a battle or even a spot far away on the map normally on any of the other games ur camera will qfind that unit or spot and place you directly behind it if you quickly move the mouse whilst its performing this action it will be done with in a second wasting no time.
On the alex engine version of EB iv just modded When i do the above rather than my screen finding the unit faster it reverts back to the location i just came from, this is a huge drawback and im wondering does any 1 else get that who has used the alex engine on EB?
shame really i changed my camera settings to exactly the same as my vanilla EB version on my laptop and its still doin it.
Any suggestions wudnt go a miss ty
Edit: Iv just tryed playing vanilla alexander and the same happends damn it, this is a real problem what am i supposed to do when i need to find a unit on the battle field fast? wait 2 minutes for the slow camera to scrolle accross the whole map whilst precious time is being wasted?

P.S. Wub ya too. =P
I decided to try my hand at getting EB ALEX (engine only) to work for my comp, and followed all the instruction vartan laid out. I couldn't quite make the whole target-path thing work (only the one that didn't actually target the engine itself, but only the directory it's located in worked, the other kept telling me the file path wasn't valid), but I managed to get it to run with my regular EB icon. It seems to load fine, with the Alexander line appearing at the bottom of the initial game startup screen, but I get some really weird bugs with my saved games. Everything seems to be normal, but the traits of my FMs are all really screwed up - just about all of them have 'Father Avenged Against Sabaens', 'Mediocre When Outnumbered', 'Silun-Pisun (or something) Defender' and 'Recruited General'. All their races are changed, too - in my Epeiros campaign, all my family members are Sogdianos, Ionios, or some other weird race they shouldn't be. Also, in my Baktrian campaign, my faction leader has lost the 'Baktria Victory Conditions' and had it replaced with 'Qart-Hadast Victory Conditions' and 'Saba Victory Conditions'. Everything seems to be as per norm when I start a new campaign, but I can't figure out how to fix this traits thing. Any ideas?
EDIT: I should add that EVERY family member in both my Baktrian and Epirote campaigns also has Hiero of Syrakousai's biography. This is too weird.
Lol guys. It seems like I'm going to have to go back and reinstall EB Alex Engine-Only so I can remember how I exactly did it so I can finally help y'all.
I'm sorry you guys aren't able to fix this. Maksimus is this mod's creator and he knows the ins and outs. It really was quite simple for me to get it working but then again, I catch on really quickly to stuff like this.
Best of luck and I'll let y'all know if I get any good results.
P.S. I hope I can actually continue my saved campaign using the EB Alex Engine Only mod.
Save games do not work with EB (Alex engine)......The traits get messed up in exactly the same way as mentioned by option......In my macedonian campaign, my faction heir was making the Seleucids bite the dust........After replacing the engine files in favour of ALEX engine, he got the same traits as mentioned by option......replacing his fine character with rubbish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Lionhard, you can pause the game to save time when giving commands..........
hello , well just to say i finaly put alex engine to work as well the alex exe, i kwon it i didnt mess up with the instalation, the problem was the trivial script, in my instalation of EB the Documentation, and trivial script werent install in Rome total war folder they were in another folder diferent from C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War
What i did was to move the trivial script folder to rome TW and change the single player exe and fire it up, and it worked, been doing a nice campaing with no ctds so far , very smoothly :P and i can still play online becouse i use the MP icon exe who starts with rome exe and not the alex exe. just to report it if anyone as the same problem.
I had 1 CDT with Koinon Hellon when i went to end a turn, other than that and my camera which ill have to get used to, i have no problems.
Oh 1 thing iv been taking the southern cities from macedonia and in the process they did not retaliate for years, even though they had half garrison cities that were not under threat. (I even had time to send my whole army and take Krete with out any trouble from macedonia) (this was after i had just took 2 of their cities)
1 other note was that normally at the start epirus takes pella with phyrros and his mighty army but for the first time with the alex engine installed epirus did not even attack pella but just sat in the same place next to pella until finally a macedonian army attacked.
As mentioned above Macedonia actually attacked phyrros and failed presenting phyrros with a heroic victory.
In my 10 year campaign so far No cities have been seiged by either macedonia or epirus which is weird :S
Also 1 of the main points here is that macedonia attack a half garrisoned city of mine with only 2 units (a general) and a basic phalanax. when i countered the seige they simply ran away.
I thought installing alex was supposed to stop idiotic things like this happening lol?
I have to say in battle the AI seems better, i only had 1 problem when seiging krete 3 ai units on the walls held their positions whilst i was raping the rest of the ai in the middle and around the fort.
Oh and question. What advantages/disadvantages/effects does night attack make?
yes i saw some idiotics things like this before still, they do atack in force if you let then time ...i mean , im playing makedonia, i kick ass against KH and take all cities in greece next i hold my ground , èpirus still ataking alot i had a heroic victory in some hills near demetrias, èpirus still atack time to time but with no real force, then i try something diferent, i build a fleet , and atack Krete, next i take Cyrene, and so on untill alexandria, i take alexandria and menphis, in greece i only did take thermon and Ambrakia, ill not move more in greece till i get all lower Egypt and judea, and sidon, only then i will turn my attention to anatolia and greece. this is on H/H i guess will try a very hard campaing next time
I am also playing as Macedon on an H/H difficulty in EAEM......yeah, Pyrrohs did'nt attack me........instead he moved his army to his own country possibly to attack the northern Illyrians or to attack Rome.....Only time will tell how he'll get his next pyrrhic victory........:smash:Quote:

EAEM is just as easy to install.
Once you've got RTW 1.5 and the Alex executable on your computer, run EAEM install, copy fixes, and make the appropriate shortcut. Voila. Simple as that.
P.S. I wouldn't play EAEM unless I enjoyed the extra challenge. Plus, it's nice that you start with elites. Oh, and you won't really know how good it is unless you install it for yourself. Just try it out, you've nothing to lose =]
it sounds like a good mod but i dont want to stray too far from EB.
That alex mod AI is deffo better, the only let down is the camera modes that the alex engine posses.
Any 1 got an answer for what advantages u get from performing a night attack?
p.s has ne 1 got any decent ss's from the EAEM game that could help ppl see what its like.
This damn mod shud have its own forum or web page, 1 single topic holding all the info between 2 little mods is a joke ppl r confused and i think this mod would have lost a lot of popularity on the fact ppl struggle to understand whats goin on.
Easy for you and me, but lionhard had difficulty installing the normal alex.exe, hence my recommendation. I am a rather experienced modder myself, so the installation difficulty is irrelevant.Quote:

@AP: consider EAEM not save compatible
@lion: the screens wont say much. game looks the same acts the same. same AI, etc as engine only (of course). only some stuff like full stack enemies and rebels and cities and so on and so forth. if you're like AP, you won't bother taking a try. if you do have time and are willing, I suggest you try it. it won't hurt.
hello everyone I have been away a bit :)
Now, i cant really go last 2 pages but I can tell you all you need to know now
:)
What advantages/ disadvantages does night attack pose?
I took a screenshot of the results of my 1st battle in EAEM......It shows a lot of units you get in the game....I pressed the printscreen key when the results were displayed & than pasted it in an open office document.....Any idea how to upload it here ??????
@ Lionhard, Can't answer that for sure.....but in EAEM as macedon...there is a mercenary general for KH alongside Chermiondes......if I lay siege on Athens and attack than the mercenary general becomes reinforcements for KH....but if I attack at night than KH has no reinforcements at Athens......cause that general is not night battle capable......
Yeh save it in paint as a JPEG file, it will then be stored in my pictures u can then choose manage attachments at the bottom when u make a post and chose to browse and upload the picture.
It has to be a JPEG btw so make sure u change it :P
P.s can ur generals aqquier the trait night attack or are they born with it?
Also are their any other traits unique to Alexander?
i might be being dumb here, but were do you install EAEM to?
is it your r:tw folder, or the EB folder?
