Did it work? :shrug:
Are there advantages when I play EB on BI instead of ALX? The different types of formation?
THX
only if you can not live without some formations that are not implemented in Alexander..
But... for me that is not important coz most of those formations were used vastly after the EB time frame... :shrug:
And if you compare AI of ALX.exe and BI.exe ... Well, let's just say that great majority of players that tried ALX.exe after BI.exe are still using ALX.exe
Including myself :yes:
Hi guys..
So I installed EB 1.1, then the mini-mod to make it work with Alex, then TWFanatics Phalanx Mod, then DS' Romani fix to "fix" the various Roman elite troops...Also, I am NOT using trivial script to load the game...I basically just created a shortcut to start RTW-Alx.exe....
NOW FOR THE FUNNY PART....
I am somehow able to both play custom battles with the new Romani units AND still play the Imperial Campaign (seemingly) without having to switch EDU's...
Is this possible? Am I headed for disaster? Its still early in the game and all seems well, should I expect trouble down the road?
Thanks for any insight...

It is quite normal that you can play any Single Player option.. :shrug:
Custom, Historical.. Main ...
That is the good part with the target line :yes:
Well, installing this again from scratch is an absolute nightmare.
It would help to be as crystal clear as possible in the first post about how to do the install, especially when the SEGA installers are so unhelpful, and continually install things in 'default' locations even when you don't want them to.
Maks does the target line need to be just rometw-alx.exe or do I need to add other modifiers?
What should correct target line be?
Belive it or not but I have my game on D after EB 11 :shrug:Quote:

you and me and anyone can install it in any location and the important part about the target line is the part that goes after RTW folder
So you install it anywhere and when you chabge the target you do this at the end

Switching it back to rtw.exe with the trivial script and that behavior went away and when i used alex.exe through the suggested direct shortcut everything was fine. So guess ill use that for alx.exe but ill miss the minimal UI from the trivial script, is it possible and does anyone know how to use the minimil UI without the trivial script?
Can I addmitt that I dont know what is Trivila script for :shrug:
Hi Maks,
I think I blew it and didnt put in the command line modifiers...might this explain why my FM (dentatus) doesnt die?
Also, once I make the change is it save game compatible?
Finally, can this change also be made in the Trivial Script?
Thanks in advance for your help and hard work.
I was thinking of purchasing Alex to play on this. How do I get it? Can't order off of the TW Website.
http://www.amazon.com/Sega-Of-Americ...9070906&sr=8-2
You can order from Amazon...
All the Total War games before M2TW for a one low price....
Ah, IC. It only comes with Eras. :( That is fairly low price for all of them, but the only one I'm interested in is really just Alex. Are the soundtrack and documentary stuff all that great?
They're cool to have even if they are not the greatest thing since sliced bread...also, it is the easiest way to get Alex, which is the whole point...
which exe allows schiltron for spear units? or is that something for m2tw only? I forgot if BI or alex had it or not.
I want the hoplites to have it, even more deadlier to the calvary.
My knowledge of the trivial script is a bit vague as well Maksimus, I think it just gives you a simple gui to switch some of the options that before you would have to edit files or shortcuts like disabling the arrow markers in battle or turning off the movies. But ill search through the forums for more info on it although all I've found so far where a few odd comments and "Trivial script (very simple script engine that lets people create graphical interface for simple actions). Allows user friendly change of lighting, game type and modesty patch settings." from the 1.1 release thread. Also I'm retarded as all you need to do for the minimal ui is change a line in the preferences.dat file to true which is where it should logically be.
If you just download the files and change the target you will be fine. also only if that FLeader is over 100 years old you should worry :shrug:Quote:

I suggest new campaign :grin:
And since TScripti is some kind of optional add-on I am not going to tweak it coz I dont know how.. in any case if someone makes it work I will add it to the main post for everyone :curtain:
If you make it work I am gonna bring dancing girls here for you :dancinglock:Quote:

Thank you :)
Hello. Great mod you've got here. AI's much improved along with the load times.
So I installed RTW and ALX, installed EB 1.1, copied the files correctly and it runs just fine except for this;

Yup, question marks in traits that call for a foreign alphabet. This applies to every faction, but the traits in english are fine.
no crashes, no weird traits, just this. It's sorta annoying but not really game breaking, just immersion breaking.
Any known fixes?
First time I see this in my life :shrug:
I want to thank Maksimus for all the hard work he has done.
Just a quick question if I may...
How many units can one have with Alexander? Models?
Is there a clear answer?
500
EDU & DMB :grin:
My save from RTW+EB works but I cannot start new campaign.Got "please select an item from list" message.
Any ideas?
As I said,my save works,but my cartaginian generals got a lot of strange traits like sweboz victory conditions,seleucid relations,and many more.It seems all mixed up.Did I install it all properly?I mean:
1.rome+updates
2.alexander
3.eb
4.your mod(into my eb directory)
5.target changed.
Where did I go wrong?
If you start new game you are gonna mess the trait system :(
But game will work.. so you really should start new one :shrug:

No you can't use shield wall, schiltrom or swimming in Alex.Quote:

because thats the error i get when it is missing -noalexander. If you are using the shortcut method double check that its in the shortcut target line properly.
