Alrite ik you guys probably get alot of these problems regarding game installation etc.

Idk what I did wrong but I followed the instructions provided on this board this is the first mod ive ever tried to download for rtw. I was getting sick of vanilla and decided to get EB.

I have windows vista OS. I have RTW gold but I did not install BI. So everything was clean when i installed it no prior mods or EB files or anything of that nature. It was patched to 1.5 so that was all good. I downloaded 1.1 and 1.2 and made backup files of rtw and put them in under my user files and not in program files as suggested by the help thread. When I began installation and it asked which file I picked the copy of the rtw 1.5 that I put under my user files. I installed it then did the same with the 1.2 patch and installed it to the EB file in the rtw 1.5 file.

When i went to the start menu and then EB play it goes straight to vanilla and idk why.

Did I do something wrong if so what and how can I fix it?

I really want to play this mod because it looks amazing and very interesting

Ill appreciate any help i can get

Oh and one more question whats the difference between EB and Rome Total War Realism?

Thanks
