RTR 6.1 or BI

**CBR** · 09-28-2005, 13:36

I just got BI. Installation went fine, or so I thought. BI would start up but RTW quit at the splash screen. So I unstalled BI and then RTW and reinstalled everything and all is fine now.

So you have RTR 6.1 and BI with duplicate RTW folders ???

Yes I still got my old RTR 6.1 folder as well as two EB and one old 1.2 folder.

As long as those are just copies from your main install then they wont mess with the registry so you dont have to worry about that.

RTR 6.0 + Draknar's mod collection has been my best RTW experience so far.
RTR is good now, and DMC makes it shine.
I'm waiting for either DMC for RTR 6.1 or RTR 6.2 to come out before I'll start another campaign.
Given what I've read so far, I'll probably buy BI at some point, but there's no rush.

What do Draknars mods do?

I had to vote for BI beicase that is what I am doing at the moment...

I am an ardent fan of RTR and find 6.1 to be the best yet and far superior to RTW but I just had to give BI a try (it is one of my favority historical periods after all)...

I have to say that so far I am not regreating it playing BI it feels not just like a new era but like the game is more complete somehow... The strategy game seems harder, the battles seems a little harder (I know that is not saying much) and the battlefield AI does not seem quite to be a weak as previously....

I seriously can't wait for RTR on BI...

I will have to give a RTW campaign a go to see if there are any changes propogated accross...

Neither, because unfortunately neither will make a challenge out of the battles. The AI is just too shoddy and neither very professional mods nor half-baked expansions will remedy that.
