Okay, here goes.
Right, as some of you may have noticed lately, I've mentioned that I have started on a Manual for EB. In order to show people that I'm actually doing something, and to advertise my need for help, I have decided to upload what I have got so far, just toget the ball rolling. It is little more than a To-Do list and a Formations and army composition list for Makedonia and Romani, but I hope soon that it will become much,. much more.
Now, as I'm sure you can guess, I need help. And with the manual.
At the moment, I need:
Writers - I need some peole who can filter through various bits of information and write up something fairly simple. most will be no longer than a page, if that.
Historians - Okay, not quite at the level of the unit makers, but people who know what the most common formation for the factions.
Artists - People to do backgrounds for pages and things, and a nice logo for the manual itself, will gain a +1 Che Roriniho Biscuit of Excellence.
Concubines - Well, duh...
And that's probably it. If you think you can help, just PM me, and I'm sure I can find you something to do. If you can't do much, then thats fimne, it's not a permanent Job, but something that you can help with as and when you want. Thanks.
enter to your program files folder (c:\program files)and look for the Activision or Creative assembly folder select it and cut it then create a new folder somewhere else (say C:\Games) and paste the Activision folder in it (
1-First make sure you have a clean RTW 1.5 installation on your computer.
This is to make absolutely certain old files or directories won't cause problems for the EB installation.
you should also delete any EB prior to 1.1, If I'm not wrong you just need to delete the folder called EB in your Rome - Total war folder , wich is located in your Activision/Creative assembly directory
2-Double-click the EB installer file and follow the instructions on screen.
when you're asked to enter the location of rtw , select the Rome - Total war folder (wherever you might have it)
The installation process gives you the option to install a number of supporting tools and the "modesty patch", which adds loincloths to the naked units. The modesty patch is NOT recommended, however, and is provided purely as a service to those who must appease parents, and for anyone who is uncomfortable with pixelated genitalia.
3- I suggest using the latest fixes , just enter to the 1.1 fixes thread and download and apply the Permanent fixes , being the optional... merely optiona
that should do it
but I'm honestly lost for everything else... I don't know if I have the time to do this

Thanks. It's not a permenant 'Job' like actual EB membership, but iof you have some spare time, or have something useful, then just PM me. I don't mind if you can only do a paragraph, a single background page, or something major. It's open to all ages, folks!
To show some interest, i have a few - more cosmetic - suggestions:
For text that exceeds single lines you should use full justification, looks nicer and somehow more professional, in my opinion.
Sentence 2 in the introduction says: '[...]almost all the data in has been changed[...]'. I suspect there should be an 'it' or something similar behind the 'in'.
In sentence 4 in the introduction you use different tenses to describe what EB changes: 'expands' <-> 'added, made'.
English is not my first language, but i try :) Good luck with this project, anyway. I'll have a look now and then and perhaps will be able to make a more useful contribution eventually.
Just a quick note to alert people to th progress being made. I'm skipping numbering directly to v0.1, as what I'm working on is a major step forward for the manual, thanks in no small part to everyone who's helped. Thankyou so much again, every one of you.
Oh, and I'm looking for formations of Carthage, hayasdan, the Diodochi, Pahlava, KH, and the 'barbarian' factions. I have formations for some of those, but they are only known for one occasion (cannae and Telemon, for instance)
v0.1 will be a bit delayed, because currently RL is mental. Things will calm down in 3 days though. Big update, as I say, and I'll also be switching to the main forum as my 'pad', replacing, at least in part, this thread.
I have the persian armies sorted, at least to some extent, but I'm still in need of formations (not armies, just formations), for the Celts, Lusotannan, SSbQ, Epieros, the Diodochi, Saba, and Swezboz.
Thankyou again to everyone that has helped. Couldn't have done this without you.
