EB How to Start?

[MaximusGauis]

When I reinstalled RTW then BI. The file is The Creative Assembly Rome Total War. So I installed EB to that location.

I make a shortcut from thr EB Icon. I changed the EB target to what you have here. A new window opens and says Target not vaild I get this when I click on apply or ok.

Not the shortcut, the EB installer...

[MaximusGauis]

OK Dumb? where is the EB insaller?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

When you first install EB. The file you downloaded is called the "installer". Sorry I wasn't clearer on that, my bad...

[MaximusGauis]

OK so where do I find it now?

[Mordecai]

EB08-setup.exe is what the file is called and it is 345 megabytes ( I Think). If you dowloaded on to your computer it may have saved it to the desktop; if not then do a search for EB08-setup.exe on your computer and that should find it.

[MaximusGauis]

I saved EB to my Documents. Then to My game folder.

[Mordecai]

Did you run the installer?

So what you are saying. I make a shortcut from rhe EB installer. And change the Target line there?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Ok. Starting from the beginning...
1- You need a fresh 1.5/1.6 RTW... ok, sounds like you got that.
2- Download EB... sounds like you did that.
3- Extract EB... In that, you got to the program you just downloaded and double click it.

EB08-setup.exe is what the file is called and it is 345 megabytes ( I Think).

It will run an exe that will extract EB. It will ask you where to put it, this is where you put:
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\
Did you do this? If you have the EB shortcut on your desktop you must have...

Run this program again and direct it to:
C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\

The EB desktop icon should appear/work then.

I put EB in the C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome-Total War. I think mine had .exe at the end. So I should uninstall EB and reinstall it again?

Yeah, give that a try...

[MaximusGauis]

I uninstalled EB. And reinstalled EB again. When I click on ICON on Desktop. It says insert CD. Do I need the RTW I disc to play EB?

[Xtiaan72]

.....Please tell me this is a joke...

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Yes, it still uses the same software as RTW vanilla and requires the disc.

[MaximusGauis]

Ok I put in the disk. I click play RTW. I click on single player. I click on Imperial. I see no difference than RTW. Am I missing something?

You can't play it from the flash screen that autoruns when you put the cd in. You can only run it from the shortcut that is created with the install (you can make your own though).
