Hi,
I'm relatively new to this forum, having only posted once before. I love EB and have playied it to death for a few years now, but can never seem to find anyone online.
There is usually like 2 battles and everyones playing 1.5 BI. Does anyone still play this mod online, and if so are you looking for someone to play with?
EB is still being played online.
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...8476-EB-Online might help you.
Yeah if you join the hamachi network you will hopefully be able to find some players. This is a slower point of the year but usually there are players online.Quote:

Select the unit and just double click few times, where you want them to go. They will proceed in groups and eventually the whole unit will make it...
It is AI army, I am defender.Quote:

Hey all people.
Just one question which i can not get a answer thru my play sesions and experience.
I do play quite long now but newer actually was thinking about this :
How do units get experience point ?
under which conditions ? I mean not generally -when you win or so answer.
And one more thing as well - conected with above question - can you make one unit to get experience every battle if you focus enough use him in some special way os something ?
btw - best game which i ever played so far from TW series. And all best for artist and people who make this fantastic mood.
sorry for my english i hope i made clear my questions.
How most units get experience points is simply by killing many opponents. Quality of the opponents matters. Higher quality troops seem to give more experience, than lower quality units (probably based on price of the unit). There seems to be a bit of variance in when you acquire experience. This may well be due to what effectively amounts to randomness.Quote:

Routing units don't give much experience. Probably due to the fact that they won't fight back.
Progression seems to slow down. It is much harder to go from 3 silver chevrons to a gold chevron than from no experience to a bronze chevron.
Also note that it seems that individual soldiers gain experience, and that is why it is possible for a unit to lose experience in battle (happens most often when a unit is decimated). Thus the amount of chevrons you see is more or less an average.
If you want to use an exploit, use archers and slingers on "Arcade Battle" settings. That way they have unlimited ammo, so they can do some happy hunting. If you use an inexperienced unit, and kill about 2000 troops for about 4 chevrons of experience.
What d'Arthez said is corrent, I'd like to add that in my experience, suffering very few casualties also helps (for the specific unit you're trying to get exp). At the same time, when a certain unit has so few men (on huge setting, something like 20-30 men), they get exp quite easily, but soon as you retrain it, the new men even the unit exp out, to a lower chevron.
So all in all, the best way is to kill a lot and lose none :P
Though tbh, experienced units are so OPed, it takes the fun out of it...
thanks for answer.
Bit disapointed with game mechanics i though that there is more than just per kill stuf.
d'Arthez - I'm not gonna play arcade silly it will be, i were thinking actualy about going more hardcore as possible, anyway thanks for info.
I am new to both RTW and EB. Read somewhere that EB is harder than RTW, so should I start with RTW to learn to ropes before playing EB? or is that a waste of time? I played Shogun and MTW many years ago.
If you played MTW you should be fine, especially if you used the higher difficulty settings.
I personally do not recommend playing regular RTW. I switched early on to another mod (RTR) and then to EB once it came out. I never felt inclined to play regular RTW again.
The biggest challenge for new EB players would be the economy and the starting position. You might want to start out with one of the "easier" factions like Rome, Qarthadast (Carthage) or the Ptolemaioi (the new Egyptian faction, which uses a Greek style army). Financially, these three seem to have the best starting position - most of the other ones need some work at the beginning to become solvent.
It is advisable to play a tutorial campaign in R:TW, though, in order to get used to the new interface. EB can be a bit overwhelming the first time you play it. I agree that the standard R:TW campaign is too easy to pose much of a challenge for an experienced M:TW player.
Hi all just dropped by to ask if the AI on Alex.exe is suppose to be so friendly towards each other? I mean even towards me the Ai never wants to go to war. well except for the damn seleucids ha. If anyone is wondering what faction im playing it is the Lusotan and i have the jrsy mega mod for AI added with EB 1.2. Just asking on here instead of there thread to see if your AI is fighting a lot because i think thats how they use to be.
So... can anyone tell me how to UNINSTALL BE? I've been trying to go to the links aforementioned, but they are all gone (i.e. 404 not found). I'm using Windows 7, btw. Thanks :)
use the EB uninstaller?
OR just deleting the EB folder works as well. The only thing left on your pc should be the icons in your main RTW folder. But you can remove those manually as well.
Hi !
Can someone tell me how do "Trade Route Scout Parties" work ?
I don't see any effect int the description, and sometimes, it increases my trade income, but not always.
Is it more sophisticated than a simple trade bonus ?
I am afraid it is not. They are just pre-requisite to more advanced trade route buildings that do provide regular trade income bonus.
IIRC the scout parties do give population growth bonus to Sauromatae, which comes quite handy.
I see. Thank you. Who can build next levels ? As Seleucids/Bactrians, I can't buy advanced trade routes, excepted with client state. As nomadic, I can build them (i Know there are more levels with nomadism than with pastoralism) but not everywhere
You're pretty much on the right track, Seleucids and Bactrians have acess to the real caravan upgrade in provinces without a coastal clearing(i think this extends to Harbors aswell) and no lvl 1 or 2 government. According to the building tree level 3 and 4 are both suitable for it.
Nomads can upgrade their Caravans all the way, whereas the last level is incompatible with Pastoralism, Same also goes for Saba, just that they can't actually build pastoralism :D

Hi guys,
Downloaded the EB mod yesterday and loved it so far. I'm a big historical fan and I also loved some of the gameplay changes like the traits.
Although I loved it it's still very much new info and such to get used to. For example the new buildings and the way cities develop is very hard to understand for me. I've offcourse taken a look at the building file of the factions I tried out but I didn't succeed in understanding it. I also find it very hard to find specific extra helpfull info on the forum or the EB site. So I was wondering of some of you could help me out a bit with maybe sharing some links to usefull info pages, threads, guides etc. For example isn't there a beginners guide for EB for newbies like me to easily get in touch with the most basic and important things I need to know?
Hope I'm not bothering you to much, I've read the FAQ and offcourse clicked the help links mentioned there.
Maybe some of you have some tips on the best ways to get familair to the EB universe :p?
Greetings,
A very happy and gratefull gamer :)
PS: My apologies for grammatical errors since English is not my native language and it's a bit late ;)
Thanks very usefull threads. You now a place I can find some more info about building? Thanks!
Where is persis?
My first attempt at EB, I am playing as Carthage and just took my first settlement, Syracuse. Moment of decision, should I build a type 3 government, or type 4? Suggestions?
IV and get a general to control it till it dies, make sure to get the regional barracks during that time, then build the highest tier available.
Thanks, The Stranger.
I added 9 land bridges to help AI. But, in my tests ( I choose Casse and end turns fast) AI seems messed up. They expand very slowly because some of AI armies just wait at certain areas and don't move. Can you tell me what is the problem?
These are land bridges that I added (pink circles):

maybe try it combined with the real movement mod, that should speed things up and show u if they will use the routes.
Also play on Very Hard campaign difficulty
Why are many Parthians units white and blonde? Should be the Parthians not be dark skinned?
The Parthian nobility, when it broke away from the Arche Seleukia (shortly after EBs start date), would have been predominantly composed of Steppe peoples. As a result they would have looked very similar to the Indo-European peoples who still inhabit that region today. Over time they intermarried with the Persian elite, resulting in increasingly Iranian characteristics such as darker skin. A similar process can be observed in the Middle Ages with the Mongols who formed the ruling class of the Ilkhanate. Rank and file troops would have been indigenous Iranians, and as such would have had darker skin, but with those beautiful Iranian eyes.Quote:

Is there a way to put EB on the Steam version of Rome that I have installed? Or does it only go on the CD version?

Thanks. I am running Windows 10, in fact the reason I went to Steam was because the CDs no longer worked.
Hi, currently having an issue with the mod.
Every time I got into battle with two armies, the one i initiated it with is in the map to begin with, but the other one just stands by the border of the map with the status 'waiting to enter battle'. The odd thing is that the enemy reinforcements do properly enter the battlefield, so it's not a hardware bug and im vastly outnumbered.
I have tried the large address aware fix, running as admin, changing the 'unlimited armies in battlefield' to 1 instead of 0. I did try and move my folder outside of program files, however in following the steps provided to do so the option doesn't come up to move my directory out of the program files with the 'move install folder' button. Maybe steam have stopped you from being able to do that?
Loving the mod apart from that though, but really need to sort this issue out
