did you install patches 1.3 and 1.5 to rome total war vanilla?

**shan735** · 07-30-2010, 13:26

I've installed RTW from my disc and just to double check on options- i have the latest patch which is 1.5

ok but theres a doubt i have you said that you make an other folder but when i install i did it on the same folder why you dont just install rtw vanilla and then the patches after that open the eb 1.1 exe ant install it on the original folder

Don't install EB under Program Files if you are using Vista/Win7, better is C:\Games

Then you copy your RTW folder inside that.
Install EB 1.1 into that folder
Same goes for Eb 1.2 (not into the mod folder, just into RTW!)

Start it using either the Trivial Script or the shortcut (for problems with the shortcut, see:https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=103681)

Have fun!

Thanks for replying.

i've decided to install it one more time.

this is what i'm currently doing.

i'm downloading from here:

http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/gamespa...194&id=6181194

i should also tell you that i haven't uninstalled rome total war, rome total war barbarian invasion and rome total war alexander yet

once i've finished downloading i still have a rome total war folder and a rome total war BACKUP folder.

which folder should i put EB into?

and then what do i do?

(i'm afraid you're going to have to tell me step by step on how to install it :( )

Get the files from our homepage (https://www.europabarbarorum.com/), the source you mentioned delivers an outdated installer.

Steps:
1. Just copy a clean RTW folder (meaning no personal changes or left-overs from your earlier attempts) to a backup folder, move or copy the original folder to C:\Games or another location outside Program Files.

2. Start the EB 1.1 installer and select your newly copied RTW folder as destination (in the installation progress you can select if you want to have additional things (Documentation, Recruitment Viewer and Trivial Script), you select all of them, they can be installed under Program Files without problems)

3. Start the EB 1.2 installer and select your newly copied RTW folder as destination

4. Download all fixes from here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=109936 and apply them as mentioned in the thread

5. Read the FAQ: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=84854

6. Use 'EB-Singleplayer' found in the main RTW folder to start EB and enjoy!

If you have questions or anything is unclear, feel free to ask, but remember, I only can help you if you describe at which step problems occur...
