Checking Interest: EBv1.2 PBeM

**TruePraetorian** · 11-29-2008, 19:15

Well, as promised, I will be dedicating today to remaking the PBeM minimod. I Downloaded v1.2 and installed that, but I guess you have to download and install both

So, my v1.1 will be done downloading in about an hour with uTorrent at 200-250kbps. After that, installing will take about an hour (

), and then I have to dig through the files to make the mod, which should take 10-20 minutes. Then, I have to pray that Tosa is on so I can use the uploader, else I have to use a crappy free one. Fun

So, to save another 4-5 hours of finding players, I decided to start up a thread here (since I doubt the typical EBer ever goes towards the throne room).

In this thread we can decide what mini-mods/rules, if any, we will be using. Most importantly we can gather the players.

Oh, and this is for EBv1.2 through the BI.exe. Two reasons, 1: If we can't fill all factions AI is much better, 2: My RTW cd is..not on my person at the moment

So, here are the factions and players (If no one minds I'd like to be Romanii

)

Aedui -
Arvernii - The Celtic Viking
Baktria -
Casse -
Epeiros -
Getai - MerlinusCDXX
Hayasdan -
Koinon Hellenon -
Lusotannan -
Makedonia -
Pahlava -
Pontos -
Ptolemaioi -
Qarthadast -
Romanii - TruePraetorian
Saba -
Saka Rauka -
Sauromatae -
Seleukids - Hax
Sweboz -

And here is a list of mini-mods/rules we should employ (with preferably a reason):
-EBv1.2 through BI.exe
-

I personally think force diplomacy is a must for recreating certain things, even with human players. That way, we can give regions and money with ease, as long as no one cheats with it.

Also for rules, I think a 24-hour turn is acceptable. I DO think that you should try to post your turn as quickly as possible.

I will join in and steal the Arverni. Prepare to be... victorious.

Ok got you.

And don't forget to post what mini-mods/rules we should use. Im currently looking over a few of them.

And as an update, just installed EB up to v1.2 and made it work through the BI.exe.

Now I'm gonna start it and see if I have the same error as last time. If not, I will begin work on the mod, so approx. 30min it should be up in the unnoficial mods section.

Also, as a requirment besides EBv1.2 and BI.exe, make sure that both temporary fixes are installed on your game.

Well, depending on when this starts, I would like to see MAA's City Mod implemented. It hasn't been updated to 1.2 yet, but if it's finished in time...? Perhaps also switch the +4 attack bonus to a +4 defensive skill one for units with light_spear, as I have done for my AAR? (I assure you, that is not a shameless plug.

)

Other than that, I have no real suggestions. I am fine with force diplomacy, and think the rule is fair.

What is this?

EDIT: I'd be Epirus, btw, except for the fact that I don't have BI.

UPDATE:

Hax, your in.

Also, I haven't been able to make the mod yet. It seems that even though I installed it right, it wants to act up. As it stands, I can get to the faction selection screen but when I click go it CTDs. Very, very frustrating. So, give me a little longer as I have to re-install everything step by step...

But yeah Celtic, I agree about MAA's mod. I have used that ever since I started playing EB, so we can ask him if he is currently working on it and can base when we start upon that.

As for the +4 bonus swap, I've not looked into it. What benifits does it bring?

Also, I was thinking, what about 0-turn recruitment times? I used those in my recent campaign and it provides a much different experience as opposed to having to wait a few years. Just a thought.
