Playing EB with RTW Gold

[Bonny]

If you are owner of RTW Gold, this instruction may let you play EB. It has been released earlier by Xondor but it didn’t draw much attention.


1. Install RTW Gold
2. Make Somewhere on your HD a new folder called “Europa Barbarorum”
3. Copy the content of your RTW folder, except the “bi” Folder and the
BI.exe, into your new “Europa Barbarorum” folder
4. Download the RTW 1.2 Patch Zipped
5. Unzip the Patch into your “Europa Barbarorum” folder
6. Download EB 0.72 / 0.74
7. Install 0.72
8. Install 0.74 patch
9. Download the “descr_sm_settlements.txt” and copy it into your
“Europa Barbarorum\data” folder
10. Download the new preference.txt and copy it into your “Europa Barbarorum”
Folder

Now Europa Barbarorum should start and you should be able to play a campaign.

Known issue:

The stratmap banners aren’t showing the correct faction symbol, they show grey boxes instead.

If you play as a barbarian Faction (Casse, Sweboz, Averni, Aedui) you get a CTD if you siege a walled city

I don’t now if there are more Problems, it would be great if someone encounters them to report it into this thread.

This didn't work if you have a DVD version of RTW Gold.

This is only a temporary workaround, for those who have purchased RTW Gold and like to play EB, until the change to 1.5 is finished.
