How do I break the Roman-campaign addiction?

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.

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

       <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:

       <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)

Thanks for the help ^^

What do you recommend?

Well, if all else fails, one option remains. Try to be noble, and fall on your sword.

So you're saying I should lead an army of undead warriors in the afterlife?

Maybe I'll take a page from the terra cotta army (a bonus in that they're immune to arrows and fire) :p
