    Does your targetline have "-mod:eb" at the end?

    This is what my target line says.
    "C:\Games\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:eb -show_err -ne

    You do not need Barbarian invasion to play EB.

    Sorry I should have said I was running the mod on BI you don't need to it's just the way I do it.

    Your Target line should look something like this

    C:\Games\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb
    Note the "-mod:eb" is the important bit, it tells the game to run EB and not normal RTW.

    yes i tried the guide but found it to hard to understand. It was a bit complicating and i find that a bit wierd as i mod Rome TW and i don't understand it.

    Yes but remember to replace the first part as it won't be the same with you computer.

    C:\(where ever you installed RTW)\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb
    If your not sure just post your target line and I'll correct it for you.
