EB v1.1 released!

[bovi]

Seriously guys, I don't get this complaining about timing. Noone is forcing you to abandon your 1.0 campaign. Just make a new copy of RTW 1.5 and install EB 1.1 into that, and you have separate installations of both versions.

The Casse invasion is a scripted invasion of Belgium when the AI is Casse and has taken all of Britain and Ireland. We hope it will make the AI Casse more interesting in spite of the AI's aversion to naval invasions.

[Strategos Alexandros]

Does it spawn stacks for them or encourage them to invade?

[bovi]

I think perhaps I'll leave that up to you to discover.

Are the Lusotana and Getai more aggressive now? The Lusotana would typically take two nearby cities and then remain idle, the Getai would remain idle indefinitely(or atleast until 240bc). Casse only attacked the British rebels once in my Lusotana campaign. Also, the rebels aren't nearly as aggressive as some people say they are, they will not siege towns that are 1 cell away.

I'm using BI.exe(1.0 with all fixes)

when I install 1.1 do I need to get rid of 1.0 first or can i install it over it.

It's recommended that you do get rid of 1.0 and install 1.1 on a clean install.

The Getai are one of the largest factions in my game. I think it's hard to instigate the factions to aggression. Sometimes the AI just sucks.

And I'm interested in hearing exactly what the Casse invasion is. It sounds good, because the Casse are chilling on a united British Isles with 3 and a half full stacks but can't get across to wreck the Sweboz.

Lusos should get off easier due to this change:
* Reduced the frequency at which Moskon's army appears in the Celtiberian alliance script, and set his age to 60 years.

They never make it that far in my campaign, they usually just take the two closest cities and remain idle for the rest of the campaign.

I've never seen them take any cities, they just remain at their capital, I think it's due to the fact that they are at peace with rebels, as is Casse.

Do you two use Rome.exe or BI.exe?

I´m using BI right now, and have used 1.5, never noticed any difference with expansion, that i can be sure of is because of the .exe, except some naval invasions with BI.

Well they are the Luso they can't be expected to take over spain in every game, but given a few decades they can do some awsome stuff. Check out the AI Expansion thread. I had one game with EB 1.0 RTW.exe where they took over all of Iberia, half of splain, and was in the process of pushing Rome out of the alps and containing it to italy. But as cool as it was I wouldn't want that in my game everytime that would just be to strange.

4.4% downloaded! So forgive my lack of knowledge in ancient language but where I can expect some of these new units to be showing up? (I mean besides the obvious Rhode Slingers and Caledonian Nobles)

[Copperknickers]

So you're saying that to get 1.1 i need to completly uninstall EB?


Do you know how long it takes me to install it in the first place? I think i'll do without the Saka intro movie and a few bugfixes thank you.

[lobf]

Do you use BI

BI always.

[HFox]

Many thanks....

2 Q's:

1-is this save game compatible?
2-has the unit limit been reached?
3-why is Torrent giving me wierd script? can someone tell me how to use it? can it be on rapidshare or file front as well
4-is this all a cruel joke? am I dreaming?

[Visitor13]

just when I absolutely need to get some sleep!

[Tellos Athenaios]

2 Q's:

1-is this save game compatible?

No. See the various posts above yours asking/answering the same question.

2-has the unit limit been reached?

Again, no - for quite simple reasons: where are we going to pull the slots from for the new factions in EB2 if we stuff EB1 with all units, and M2TW offers the exact same amount of unit slots?

3-why is Torrent giving me wierd script? can someone tell me how to use it? can it be on rapidshare or file front as well

It's not a weird script: it's a file containing instructions & checksums for your torrent client software to interpret. So you should obviously not open this file with any ordinary text editor or some such thing: you need to use special client software or a browser which supports the bittorrent protocol.

Details are found among the stickies (a quick guide to torrents) on these fora.

4-is this all a cruel joke? am I dreaming?

Yes it is.

EDIT: Oh, and also you numbered your questions one thru four ... so why '2 Q's', then?

Which two of them do you want answered ?

1. No. No. No. NO. NO. Still no. Stop asking already.
2. No, but it's close. There will probably be no more units in EB1.
3. Install a bittorrent client. Google it.
4. It might be. You might be.

that varies from campaign to campaign, in my current, (or i guess now my ex ) campaign as the pahlava by 260 getai has taken 3 cities, yes thats right, 3 cities by 260, and in another one luso has has all of iberia and are kicking averni butt in gaul by 220...so im not sure if it has anything to do with the AI, it´s has more to do with chance then anything, i guess... though i could very well be wrong. the nomads are the only ones who never seems to have a fighting chance in my campaign, but it looks like that will change!
my only worry is, should i start a new pahlava campaign or try that karthadastim campaign i had sworn off ´till 1.1? hmmm

anyway, thanks for this EB team!
EDIT to slow...need to speed up my typing.

dont pay so much attention to those. i for instance was waiting for 1.1 since November (thought it'd come on Christmas and quit playing, uninstalling 1.0 all together) with clean RTW copy sitting on HD. and now its finally here!
thanks

I don't think any of us thought 1.0 would be so stable really - if it had not been we would have had a 1.01 or something a lot sooner, but we thought it could wait given the overall stability of the 1.0 release.

[cmacq]

This v1.1 is a bit bigger than v1.0; as an understatement.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

This v1.1 is a bit bigger than v1.0; as an understatement.

A lot of new music for Roman faction campaigns and for Eastern/Nomadic/EastGreek campaigns too probably makes up for the biggest single chunk of that space I think.

[cmacq]

Well, all I need now is to move v1.1 from my laptop to the external and from there to my really, really, really fast PC, which I will not trust to run wild on the net.

[EasyCo506]

I guesss I'll have to wait for the filefront link to download. BitTorrent takes hours longer, and it seems to slow down my computer.

Unless anyone knows something faster than BitTorrent (currently using BT 6.0.3)?

I noticed this thread which has an EB installer for BI, and I was wondering if I could use it for 1.1 as well. I think I'd rather use barbarian invasion, and figured this would be the easier thing to do (seeing as how I have no clue how to do it).

So should this work for 1.1? And if not, how could I make EB use BI instead?

[Blazing141]

Hi guys,
Thanks for this!! Can't wait to get going on it after I finish my Romani campaign.
Two Queries:


Question 1: Do we still need to install Oppida fix and the other fixes listed in tech help or have those been incorporated into the latest version?

Question 2: Is this playable with Alex.exe?? has anyone tried?

Bests and thanks again!

1) No. They have been incorporated.

2) Yes

what a birthday gift (which is tomorrow)! at %20 now. Good thing i have Kansas v. Memphis to occupy my evening until this is done!

THANK EB TEAM!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! I suddenly feel an instant flu coming on... darn... no work tomorrow.

[woad&fangs]

something is screwy with BitTorrent. It's maxing out at 2.5 kbs/sec... and I'm downloading on a wifi connection

I think I'll have to wait until another download option is available.

[vladiator]

If I have the previous version of EB installed on my XP, what do I do? Can I just go to "remove software" and uninstall EB, or do I need to uninstall the whole RTW and re-install it again?

Thanks for EB, BTW!!

I'm pretty sure you just need to uninstall EB, then go into the RTW directory and delete the "EB" folder that's in there, then just reinstall EB.

[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.
