Changing character age

[Apgad]

meth: when did anyone tell you to exit EB each time you reload? to activate script it is as simple as clicking a city to pop out the advisor after you reload.

There may be some confusion with reloading other save games using different factions. IIRC you need to exit EB and restart it if you want to change from 1 faction to another, but not if you are reloading the same faction. Does that make sense?

no, it doesn't make sense. activating EB script is just clicking a city after each reload, then clicking the show me how button. I am playing like 4 campaigns atm, I never had to restart EB whne I changed to a different faction.

[Megas Methuselah]

huh. That's odd. Maybe Foot can clarify this or something...?

You pretty much have to restart the entire program if you want to change from one faction to the other. I've encountered plenty of times where my government buildings were destroyed when I didn't do such a thing.

The game doesn't force you to restart, it can just mess up the script if you switch campaigns without restarting.
EDIT: Korlon beat me to it.

You don't have to exit the game, but the script will mess up when you activate the script for one faction then quit and activate it for a different faction before exiting and restarting RTW.exe. In fact, the script may mess up if you activate the script, then load a game for the same faction and activate the script again. I personally never activate the script more than once in any one game session.

woah, I guess I am lucky? I rarely reload, but when I do, I usually reload a few times in succession, and activates the script everytime. I don't remember anything going wrong when I do that :()

yea, same here... i've started a couple of new campaigns, after playing with a different faction without reloading the game. What kinda problems would you get from that? Should i be prepared for some problems further down the line?
