EB 1.2 Savegame Thread

Definitly going to play those, more saves, anyone?

In case anyone wants to play a save where both the Ptolemaioi and Seleukidae are effectively neutralized (!), I present to you my savegame, Epeiros 218 BC (VH/M, on ALEX, with Lz3's mod pack, easily found in the mod forum, but I believe the save is backwards compatible anyways):

About 5,000 mnai in the bank and making around 10,000 a turn, as my armies are taking major upkeep. The conquest of Italy is underway from the north, and there are currently three armies around there: a beaten-up fullstack with the faction leader that has just taken Bononia, a largely Thracian 3/4 stack sitting in Patavium, and a veteran fullstack, fresh from retraining after conquering most of Egypt and raiding Carthage, marching towards northern Italy. This is the latter:

The stack in Bononia is very similar to this, just replace Thessalians with elite Epirote cav and elite peltasts with Hypaspists. Current enemies include Rome, Carthage, and Saba, and the lone ally is Baktria. KH and Makedonia are both destroyed, but all other factions are alive. Aside from the aforementioned armies, sizeable garrisons exist in Tylis, Serdike, Byzantion, Mytilene, Augila, and Kyrene; there is also an army besieging Axum. Infrastructure is highly developed in Hellas and Egypt. Be wary of Sauromatae or Pontic attack if you choose to disband the border garrisons with those factions, as they are both fast running out of enemies and could attack at any time.

i have vanilla, BI and ALX.

ALX is by far the best depending on how much you put importance on shield wall.

in ALX the ai is actually half decent. battles arent so brainless anymore because they wont send in 1 unit at a time. they actually send reinforcements from islands with ships. those ships arent just 1 or 2 light rafts but a real navy. ive got a full stack of greek quinqeremes attacking me and im finding it very difficult to invade rhodes and krete right now. the AI retrains as well.

Yeah, I play ALX and the Casse just landed a force in Aquitania. However, the mighty Republic of Roma did not like this...but we are not monsters. I just asked them nicely to hit the big green Gauls to the north, and leave me alone. And they did. How nice of them.

I think that this should be kept updated as a way to help out new players to EB.

Are there any volunteers out there who would take their vanilla saves of 1.2, zip 'em and upload them for those who are just starting out?

This thread was bumped simply because the savegames therein are not there. If someone could upload some new ones, that would be helpful. Much obliged.

Ksifos, your file can't be downloaded

Can anyone tell me how to zip and upload files?

I've an AS campaign, around 220, difficulty easy (it was my first campaign)
You start with Italy, the Balkans, Africa, Eqypt, Anatolia and all of the Seleucid far east. The empire is seriously under-developed and I was relying on add_money to maintain my massive armies.
I also have an Aedui campaign m/m, around 250. You start with all Gaul and Northern Italy. Well-developed economy, small armies but a large stack of Gaesate looting their way through Egypt...

You go in Rome Total War folder, open EB folder and ther you will find the Saves folder, where your saves are (.sav files).Right click on the file you want to zip, choose Send To / Compressed and there you have your zipped save.Then go to a site like hotfile or any other file hosting site and upload - its pretty straightforward.Then post the link the site gives you here.
