    A question: Can EB 1.2 be run on BI? I was under the belief that 1.2 was for MTW, not RTW/BI? If it is for BI, I will d/l it. Need some clarification on this, please.

    OK, 2 questions. Why can't I post screen shots? I have beeen wanting to start an AAR for like ever... and I am not a tech noob, either.

    Yes, you can modify EB to play with BI or ALEX, though it is made for RTW1.5.
    Of course it is not for MTW, although there is a version for M2TW in the making (which is far from finished though).

    Do a forum search about the screenshots, make than enough threads about that issue.

    I just wanted to point out [again] what a great mod.

    I play EB for years [real live years] now & can´t stop. I am currently playing my first "barbarian" faction...the Sweboz. I wage wars against Aeudi & Rome for decades now and it is very amusing. Fighting to conquer Italy, defending the Western borders against Aeudi hords & building up an empire.

    Being a Nomad faction fan I have to admit: all infantry armies have their advantages as well. Nothing but hiding one part of the army in an ambush in the woods, luring the enemy in an ambush, attack the engaged units from unexpected positions and watch those Romans flee back over the Alps.

    I'm really late to 1.2, considering re-installing RTW to play it. Had some problems with the client ruler scripts causing irresolvable perma-crashes a while back, is 1.2 any better in that regard? Does it also become a lot more stable (and faster-running) if you delete that part of the script? Is it as easily deleted?

    I've also forgotten how to use the console (it has been two years!), did anyone put together a guide or the like? I'd like to re-create my Pergamon experience, which means teleporting stacks of troops and creating a new starting army with the create unit command.

    Hazy on some commands as well, how did you make units switch to their secondary weapon (thinking primarily of lance cavalry in melee switching to swords)?
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)

    Welcome back.

    In my experience 1.2 is very stable without needing to delete the client ruler script. I believe it uses a totally different method than 1.1, but 1.1 was a while ago so my memory is also slightly hazy on that.

    I'm not too sure on using the console, I know the ` key opens it, beyond that I'm clueless. Searching the forum for the info you need is probably your best bet, or wait until somebody more knowledgable than me replies.

    This one I can help with, alt click switches to secondary weapons.

    welcome back Quintus,

    from my personal experience I'd say it's a bit stabler than 1.1 at least so it seemed to me, maybe it's just because I've gotten accostomed to save my games often. But til now none of my 1.2 campaigns have ended in CTD whereas there were 'after battle CTDs' happen once in a while.

    for the second one, there surely is someone more suited than me.

    third one is the Alt-key, hold it and order them to attack this lets them attack with their secondary weapon(lancers switch to swords when they preformed their charge).
