Hi All!
I am new to this forum but I’ve been playing RTW & BI mods ever since this game came out and I never seem to tire of it, whenever I have the time to actually sit down and play, that is.
I currently do have some time to play one my favorite mods (Europa Barbarorum) for my favorite computer game (Rome Total War).
I have Europa Barbarorum v0.81a installed on RTW (v.1.5) with the Barbarian Invasion (v. 1.6) add-on. I use the “-mod:eb -nm -show_err” suffix in my shortcuts and I have had no problem playing the game. After numerous exciting turns, I decided to check and see if there was a later version of this wonderful Mod. To my pleasant surprise I discovered a huge v.1.1 Full install with a v.1.2 Update patch available. I finally found a site that offered both of these downloads and after creating another fresh and clean copy of RTW-BI I installed them.
The game begins to load and I get a screen that tells me that it is Europa Barbarorum v. 1.2.
I click “Single Player” but there is no option to play the “Imperial Campaign.”
All I have to choose from are either “historical” or “custom” battles, but no campaign screen appears from which to choose a faction/tribe to play????
I have checked and the “Imperial Campaign” folder and 49.7 MB of files are in the "EB/Data/World/Maps/ Campaign/Imperial_Campaign” location.
I can see that there are some obvious folder and file differences from the older v0.81a version, and I can’t get this latest version to play at all from the short-cut that the mod installer provided (it keeps asking me for the RTW disk, which is currently in storage in another town), but when I create my own shortcut with the with the
“-mod:eb -nm -show_err” suffix, and use the BI disk which I have with me I can get to the loading screen described above, but have no “Imperial Campaign” option???
Since I don’t have my RTW CD with me I am somewhat limited at present in my ability to trouble shoot. I had assumed that I could play this latest version with the BI add-on disk, but I may be wrong about that.
Is this game exclusive to the RTW v1.5 without any compatibility for BI v1.6?
Or, is there something else that I need to do to make the game recognize the “Imperial_Campaign” folder and files so that I can start this game now?
The site that I downloaded all my files from was: Org FTP
The v.1.1 installer was 786 Mb and the v. 1.2 update patch was 108 Mb, I don’t know if these are lacking something or corrupted, but it was the only website I found that readily had them available. Just in case I may have erred somewhere I created a fresh RTW-BI copy and re-installed again, with the same result for both Europa Barbarorum v.1.1 & 1.2.
I’ve just spent several hours doing all this and searching this forum for a possible solution, but no luck, so far.
I am hopeful that someone out there can help me cut-the-chase and shed some constructive advice on this issue.
If there is no way to play this latest Mod on anything other than RTW, then I’ll just have to wait until I can dig out that disk and try again.
However if there is something else that I can try to let me play it now, while I have the time, using my BI disk, that would be great.
BTW, my PC is using XP, and I have plenty of hard drive and RAM, and I can still play v0.81a without a hitch so far, but I sure would like to try out this latest version, if I can.
I sincerely appreciate any feedback any of you can provide to help me resolve this one way or another.
