When this time comes, simply post something in red to let me know you have it all set up, like "I have it all set up"

    Make sure you print out your factions Government map included with the PBeM minimod!!!


    Current List(11): Red means Confirmed
    TruePraetorian - Romanii
    The Celtic Viking - Arverni
    Subotan - Baktria
    Hax - AS
    Sarkiss - KH
    Mjolnir - Makedonia
    SkullHeadhq - Ptolomies
    WWFW - Punic Scum
    justmyname - Epeiros
    Cux47 - Pontos
    Incitatus - Lusotannan


    Rules:
    -Using clean RTW.exe updated to v1.5/1.6
    -"Minimod pack for EBv1.2" will be used**
    -Difficulty (H/M) on Huge
    -Skullheadhq's PBeM minimod pack
    -Turn Time (24 hours max)
    -Force Diplomacy ONLY used when both parties agree OR the AI is being impossible. In the case of using it against AI, you should ask.

    How to Set Up:
    -Before following these instructions, make sure you have installed a clean RTW and patched it up to v1.5 or 1.6, and installed a clean EBv1.1 and then patch it up to v1.2
    [SPOIL]Here is how to set up your game step by step.
    1.Download this: PBeM minimod v1.2.12.Extract it to your Desktop
    3.Open it up and put the EB folder in your RTW directory (mine is C://Rome - Total War/)


    Download Skullheadhq's PBeM minimod pack and install it. It is found here:http://files.filefront.com/EB+PBeM+Modpackexe/;130

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    4.Notice that no files are overwritten, just added.[/SPOIL]5.Go to EB/Data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/
    6.Find "CAMPAIGN_SCRIPT" and change it's name to "CAMPAIGN_SCRIPT-sp"
    7.Find "CAMPAIGN_SCRIPTpbem" and change it to "CAMPAIGN_SCRIPT"
    8.Go to EB/Data/scripts/show_me/
    9.Find "EBBS_SCRIPT" and change it's name to "EBBS_SCRIPT-sp"
    10.Find "EBBS_SCRIPTpbem" and change it to "EBBS_SCRIPT"
    11.Skullheadhq is way to fast for me. Download the genericScript.txt here
    12.Place this in EB/Data/scripts/show_me/ and let it overwrite the old one (it's not used anyway)
    13.Post here in this thread with red letters notifying me of your completion
    Erm... my pack overwrites it and makes the next steps irrelevant

    Erm...we would have to edit the whole genericScript to get you in...Let's wait what TruePraetorian has to say about this.

    Skullheadhq - I didn't know that. You get a balloon for all of your contributions

    davepyne - Welcome to the game. Now dave, remember that every new player causes us to rewrite the genericScript. So, re-download the generic script from the first post and put it in the folder. That goes for everyone.

    This is turning out to be quite a game...even before we start

    The Gods envy us.

    They envy us because we are mortal, because any moment might be our last.
    Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed.

    There is a problem in the EBBS_SCRIPT: ";Section 2h: Sweboz Reform" is missing a semi-colon before the word "section". I fixed it in mine.

    Thanks for the info. I actually took out the old Sweboz reforms and replaced it with the new after talking with bovi. I will update the minimod yet again

    Also, Skullheadhq, I was looking over the genericScript that I downloaded from you. Did you use the turn order found in the minimod folder? Without it, the script will skip players and stuff so it won't work properly.

    If you did I must have looked at the wrong one or something...but don't worry about it. I am generating the new script as I speak.

    OK, I extracted that into a clean version of EB 1.2 and I got the following error when I tried to start EB.

    Script Error in eb/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 1009, column 34.

    Could not find solider battle model for unit type 'roman infantry evocatae'.
