BI vs Alex EB

[Ferromancer]

1-Alx is the last *exe Developers pushed on the markets as the final AI modifications of the RTW games series (including BI)

Alx does have a better battle AI. However, it does not implement naval AI very well. Moreover, a lot of features implemented in BI were left out of Alx. Newer doesn't always mean better.

Hi,
2-Many EB features including parts of the script DO NOT WORK under BI.exe (and i just dont have the time to explain about that much, you can check with EB Team - they tried using BI exe but it does not work with EB features that work under vanilla RTW and Alx.exe)

I don't buy this. I have yet to notice any borked attributes or events in BI, and whatever gameplay issues that have been reported I've been able to resolve easily--usually an oversight on my part, not something wrong with BI. From what I recall, it was alex that had more problems than BI--for instance it took a while to fix the issue with Generals never dying of old age.

3-To use BI.exe you need fast modifications of txt files, that exceed those of Alx.exe

I'm willing to bet my installer for BI is smaller than the installer for Alx. It's only 1.5 megs.
