    btw, I have an unrelated question. How do I gear my EB 1.1 for BI?

    I installed the "EB trivial script" so it no longer has the data path to RTW.exe
    it just leads to "eb trivial script.exe"

    yeh, I already went there. The link is broken.

    Isn't there a simpler way to get it working (copy edu files, etc) instead of downloading another 700 mb file and reinstalling?

    Create a shortcut to your BI exe and add the mod switch to it ("-mod:EB"). Then copy paste the "imperial_campaign" folder from "\EB\Data\world\maps\campaign" and rename the copy to "barbarian_invasion".

    They're may be more but that's all I remember for right now, I suggest you try Ferromancers mod again though, just checked the link is working fine now.
    Cheers

    I say... Carthage... Nice change of pace, but still a more developed experience than possibly the barbarian ones (i haven't done any barbarian ones)

    epeiros is also nice.

    I'd say Ptolemaioi/AS, for the change of pace, but they are both successor armies, so...

    PS: LZ3, do you have pics of that battle? sounds cool

    If you want your TriviaScript working with BI, there's a simple way of doing that too.

    Go to your "Rome - Total War" folder and open the "ebconfig.xml" with a text editor (rightclick on it -> "Edit")

    Then search (Strg+F) for "Rome"

    Promptly it should find some line like
    Code:
           <ID>RtwStart</ID>
            <Type>String</Type>
            <Values>
                <Text>RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -show_err</Text>
    Perhaps the -show_err isn't there, that one I added for myself some time ago I think

    Now just change RomeTW.exe to RomeTW-BI.exe so it looks like that:

    Code:
           <ID>RtwStart</ID>
            <Type>String</Type>
            <Values>
                <Text>RomeTW-BI.exe -mod:eb -show_err</Text>
    Now close the file and save changes (obviously).

    Now the TriviaScript works 100% with your Barbarian Invasion All the shortcuts produced by your EB installation should work like a charm now (at least they do for me :) )

    No need to copy anything else around.

    Of course only if you have setup the rest according to the numerous tutorials (I speak of duplicating&renaming "EB\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign" folder)

    since the publishing of RTW ı played more than 4 years with julii,
    Since I am addicted to them I chose Pahlava in EB eternal enemy of rome and I realized that how Parthians crushed Romans.

    so I have many a experience to start with romani again?



    and 12 is my lucky number .....

    I was addicted to Romani and Makedonia too, but I broke out and tried the Arverni. Their situation is sufficiently different and yet the playing style is similar to the Romani (in terms of melee infantry with missile power) that it softens the culture shock (pun not intended).
