Trouble with/question concerning EB script.

Since I posted my request for assistance, I spent a few hours playing a Casse campaign, as I didn't want to jeopardize all the work I had put into my Romani campaign. Oddly enough, the same problem that had occured during my Qarthadastim campaign occured again (and I am using a different PC). In spite of my clicking the "show me how" button, at the beginning of my next turn I was fast-forwarded to the year AD 14 and all of the "year in history" announcements appeared (where announcements routinely appear). Again, I am certain that I had hit the "show me how" button, and I had clicked on more than one settlement without seeing the advisor pop up again. However, during the series of AI turns, I noticed the advisor pop up in the upper right corner as usual, only to have him immediately disappear upon the beginning of my turn (the turn in which everything had suddenly rushed forward to AD 14). If anyone can explain this, that would be excellent. Meanwhile I've resolved to use multiple save slots for any given campaign so I can always jump back if need be. Thank you.

This jump to the end of the game is a bug related to the script. Did you change any files? Maybe your installation is corrupted, is that jumping-bug repeatable or does he hit randomly? Having the same failure on two installations would be very odd.

No, I did not change any files (in fact, I don't know how to change files). The problem seems to be random. I suppose the non-technical solution is to save often in several different slots; I just have to be sure to remember to do so. I'm actually rather surprised that this seems to be an infrequent problem, because as I've mentioned it has occurred on two different PCs. Perhaps it's a problem with my RTW disc?

This should not be related to RTW because it is a EB-script that works not right in your case. In any other cases I'm aware, a complete new-installation helped, but this might not help you. Did you copy the RTW+EB folder to the other PC, or are this two separate installation progresses? Did you install EB from the same source (meaning: did you download it twice)?

It was two separate installation processes. I believe that I downloaded the EB file using uTorrent in both cases. I'm doing fine now just saving my game in different slots as a form of insurance should it occur again.
I actually have another question. I am a busy student, and the only way I can manage to get in a decent amount of game time is to mute the sound and music on the game and listen to audio books or music (Baroque and Classical music is an independent, informal study project of mine) using windows media player. Is there some way that I can actually cause EB to play whatever I need to listen to as an alternative to the sound effects/music, instead of having to run WMP?
Finally, I noticed a loading screen discussing the composition of the music for the game which said something to the effect that "ancient Hellenic music sounds jarring to modern ears." This sounds fascinating to me! Does anyone know where I can locate some modern recordings of music from the ancient world? Also, what forum is the appropriate one in which to ask questions such as the last one? Thank you!

If you have downloaded the files with torrent, no failures got to be in the files. It's very odd happening on both PC....save a lot! I can give you in this case no more advice.

Recording music:
The easy way is to mute the music in EB, and have wmp separately.
The hard way is to get music files into RTW, for this I'll suggest you search the forums.

I do not know much about music...so I suggest to search this forum and if you got not the information open a new thread in the main section.

hello - well this jump forward in history happened yesterday in my first campaign in 1.2 version as well ...it was also AD ..shortly after AD quite possible that it was 14 AD.

..but i just loaded the last quicksave before that happened - and afterwards it was alright.

but i played not long - not so much time these days..

i guess i did not understand this procedure with the "advisor" and the "show me how" button fully.. do we have to click this button (and before the advisor) everytime - at every begin of season and end of it - and every loading and quitting?

(thought only the first time at the beginning) ..i mean if a campaign will be ruined with that - its almost certain that you forget that from time to time, or not?

also - what will happen when i use the "reset" the advisor button (i guess in the game options when clicking Esc and "game options") ..didnt want to try it for the case that a campaign will be ruined.

p.s. ..and yea - i subscribe fully to Arams comment on EB - just awesome :-) ..well ..chess excluded ..but from pc games in any case
