    At least let me make sure that I'm doing everything right.

    I've started again, clean install of RTW and BI, patched 1.5, and I'm now at the spot that I assume I'm doing something wrong.

    My game is in the C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly folder. If I open that, I'm sent to

    C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War, with the folders BI, data, Miles, gamespy, msswhatever, RTW and BI.

    Do I install the mod to just the Creative assembly folder, or do I go one further to the \Rome?

    Go further into the Rome Folder, and when you do that, double check to make sure there aren't any pre-existing saved game files from Vanilla - that will totally screw things up. -M

    No saves anywhere, I haven't played a single battle on this comp. been itching to play EB.

    and I install into C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War?

    I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help

    Unless 1.2 changes something, it's not going to work. All I have in the EB folder is a play, uninstall, validate, faq, and visit the home page.
    Rome gets new folders EBplay, EBicon, a folder for backups and stuff, and some other files.

    No single player/multiplayer option. 20 odd minutes until the patch in downloaded and installed. I'll update y'all then

    I'm fairly certain that the options for running multiplayer/singleplayer are found in the trivial script, but I could be wrong.

    I installed that with everything else. EBplay brings me to vanilla Rtw, don't have any option for anything else anywhere.

    Any other ideas?

    I have an error when I click run Eb searching for eb-show_err. What's that about?

    Did you install 1.2 + fixes already in the same folder as 1.1 was installed to?
    Then you create a new shortcut to RTW.exe and edit the target line, there you add: -mod:EB -ne -nm

    If you already have BI, look in the sub-mod forum o EB for the BI installer.
