    By the way, do I have to activate the script each time I load my campaign until I reach the final reform?
    You should actually activate the script every time you reload/start an EB game because it is not only responsible for the reforms but also does a load of other things that enhance the EB experience. Playing without it really doesn't make much sense. Althoug, unfortunately, even the script doesn't do much to stop the Ptolemaioi.
    I hear the voice of the watchmen!

    How do people still fail to activate the script? The advisor pops up and continues to pop up every turn you don't activate it. Wouldn't you be curious? Maybe he was trying to tell you what was wrong with your reforms?

    Not only will AI factions bankrupt themselves in the majority of cases without the script, it is also likely a lot of 400-populated ghost towns will be all they have. There is no challenge in it without the script: it is practically like beating someone at chess, when your opponent does not know the rules.

    I don't know about other mods, but if he's used to vanilla, he's learnt to _ignore_ the advisor.

    Can such a game be salvaged? You better start a new campain, my friend.

    As for the script. Since I have virtually no knowledge of programing, and the workings of my computer is basically magic, I like to think of it this way: The Script is the deity of EB, and the proper form of worship is to bring up the advisor and click 'show me how' at the start of EVERY gaming session. Woe betide those who forget.

    True that, I'd go further and say that the script IS eb. Everything else is a nice pretty skin with a few mechanics changes. The script maketh the game, or at least enough of the core part of it.

    That's pretty funny... the first time I came to this forum was to try and figure out how to make the stupid advisor quit popping up every turn.
    <DOH>
