EB v1.1 released!

[Yabusama's Ghost]

Great news, thanks guys for all your hard work on this.

[Metalstrm]

Ok I've been meaning to ask this since 1.1 was released.

Is it worth it for me to install it and stop my 1.0 campaign at 220 BC as Romani? I'd love to try out the new features but I'd like to know if the differences (esp. Roman) are worth the hassle.

How much room do you have on your computer?

No, it's not worth it. You'll have wasted all that time you spent getting the Romans to 220 BC. That's over 200 turns!

Finish your 1.0 campaign first, and then upgrade to 1.1 after that. And when you do, play some other faction, not the Romans.

Space is not a problem.

But I think Scato is right. When (and if) I finish this campaign I will freshly install the new version. Or EB2 if it's released by then :P

Edit: Oh! 100th post!

[General Aetius]

Is it possible to make a patch which can be added to EB 1.0 to make it into EB1.1 because i don't want to wait ages for the full EB1.1 v download.

General Aetius

No. If it were possible, they would have done it. Too many changes for a patch.

If you can't download it from Torrent or e-Mule, or the new .Org link, wait for a week or two and it will be on FileFront by then.

Until then, just finish off your 1.0 campaign.

[Visitor13]

Woohoo!

It's now possible to recruit Sardinian archer-spearmen-skirmisher-type dudes! Sardinia doesn't feel empty anymore!

Thank you EB team!

Bug fixes
* Fixed unit name error causing a CTD on turn 400.

I noticed this little tid-bit which has me a bit concerned. Does this mean my v1.0 AS game which is nearing turn 400 is doomed to crash?

[bovi]

I think that's among the released fixes for 1.0.

[The General]

Sounds good. Very, very good. And I mean, very good.

However I'll have to wait until a direct download link becomes available. I'll suffer, but survive. 1.1's gonna be worth it.

[Pezlu]

Downloading now! Thanks!

And I was just planning to come back to EB after some time...

[Tyrfingr]

Uninstalled everything to get a clean start. Now, installation errors

[Tellos Athenaios]

There already is. Search for Tosa Inu's post.

It was also on the website, but for some reason the link didn't work earlier and I thus assumed that it simply meant more waiting for me.

Well, as it happens, tried it now, and the link worked, and so I can start downloading once I get back home from work tomorrow. *Loves it*

[Sol Invictus]

Well it took me three attempts, but I finally got it downloaded successfully. I tried twice without using a bitorrent program, but it would only partially download and suddenly stop. The bitorrent was about five times faster downloading as well. One question, did 1.1 make any changes with formations? Does anyone think adding the DarthMod formations for EB would be worth it?

Sounds good. Very, very good. And I mean, very good.

Or, you know, the announcement.

[Lokar]

Thank you for making the best total war mod in existence...

Three cheers for EB and the EB team!

Congratulations on the new release.

[Bactron]

Great work guys, I am going to install it right now!

[The General]

... Aaaaand the link's dead, again.

WTH?

[Mithridates VI Eupator]

Just wondering if the Factions-section on the homepage will be updated with the new units from EB1.1.
It would be interesting to see what new units the factions will recieve, and which are Eleutheroi/local units.
Will this happen soon, or will I just have to find out by playing?

[Digby Tatham Warter]

Greetings people,
I just downloaded it from the Org, it's 219.3 MB, is this correct, as I remember V1.0 as being larger?

[Gothic]

Once again thank you for the update of this lovely mod! :) Here's another stupid question from me.. how do i get the new Saka intro movie to work? I did download the Codec that was suggested here somewhere but I still don't get any movies at all. Could it be because i'm running it with BI? In that case i'll just stop worrying about it. I mostly just ask in case there's some easy solution. :D

Btw, I finally survived the first 10 years of a Saka campaign! I started with them because I wanted to see the intro. It's great fun, and very strange.. this migration stuff is like a whole new game!

it's placed in here so you can still have a look (without starting the game)

And you have most likely in your shortcut target line this code at the end "-nm" this means no movies will be played you can delete that if you want

Aaah yes, I added that -nm bit to the BI shortcut as part of the instructions. I even knew it removes the movies, I had just forgotten it was there! Thanks a billion Sassem! *bows*

The size should be 786MB.

[LumpyHL]

is it harder or easier than 1.0?? when i was playing my vh/vh campain in 0.81 it was very hard but when i was playing 1.0 on VH/M it was easy. Im thinking about WH/H but i cant make a decision.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Some factions harder, some perhaps easier. But in any case the difference between VH battle and M battle is in EB a lot more apparent than it apparently used to be in Vanilla. So that might've made all the difference back then?
