    Default How to tell you're playing EB

    I put this together in response to a thread on TWC, where it seemed we were all talking past one another. Now I note that in the tech forum, we have a very good "how to install EB" guide. But I think it stops just short of something which might need to be tacked on the end - how to be sure you've done everything right (and how to activate the script).

    Thus I present you with

    How to tell if you're playing Europa Barbarorum, a pictorial guide.

    The loading screen on firing up the executable:



    There's another one that comes after it, but I don't like taking captures while it's doing stuff.

    The main menu:



    Choosing single player:



    Campaign selection screen, here chosing the Ptolemies:



    Campaign loading screen:



    The first thing you see on a new Ptolemaic game, I click on Memphis, advisor pops up:



    Click on advisor's face:



    Click on "show me how" and it disappears:



    Game now with script activiated; there's my faction leader:




    Now it probably needs filling out with more instructions on what's going on, but it's a start. Useful?

    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)

    I think it's much easier to tell: "If it kicks ass, it's EB."

    Seriously though, does anyone else think it would be a good idea to add it to the end of the installation instructions? A kind of visual validation that you've done everything correctly.

    Seems like a good idea.

    I'd put emphasis on the fact the initial loading screen can take a while...that makes new users complain a lot because many think it has crashed.

    And if it kicks your, EB's, AND Chuck Norris's, Then its Bruce Lee!!!!!
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    Bruce Lee? EB could kick Bruce Lee's ass into the next world...twice...with no legs! Maybe...Bruce Lee should appear in EB as a special character...and army of martial artists armed with nunchucks!...or...not?

    QS, now you´ll confuse all the newbs with your golden Ptolies.
    The Appomination

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.
