Europa Barbarorum v0.81 released :: Grab it here

[DeathEmperor]

It's here! ITS REALLY HERE!!! *dances naked*

A big sincere thank you to the EB team for releasing .81. I can't wait to conquer the ancient world all over again.

[Dayve]

Strange that so many people are having problems... I had a clean 0.8, except for Darth formation mod, and i simply installed 0.81 and played, worked fine.

Great news EB doods, wonderful! I can finally start that Romani campaign i've been waiting to start.

And you put in those new cities for 'civilized' factions! That's just the icing on the cake.

You know i love you. Don't you... Yushhhhh... Who's a good boy? Wushiwushiwushi...

[d'Arthez]

That is strange. Paths should not make a difference (mine is definitely not a standard path).

My installation was not fresh. The only thing I did do was to remove all save-games. But the chances of that (or a lacking "Save" directory) being the cause ...

[DeathEmperor]

So anyways I decided to dowload the full .81 install, and I was wondering something.

Will installing Barbarian Invasion before I install EB .81 affect Eb in any way? I wanted to play .81 using the BI.exe but I don't want to do anything that might screw up my install or anything like that.

Mine is neither a standard path, it was also installed on a non-clean copy of EB 0.8.

Neither of the two problems that have so far been reported (error messages on start up and no saves for lusotannan) have occured.

If Romans conquer Messana or stay near the city for 1 turn or more, Carthage declares war on them.

Does it work the other way too, if Carthage takes it/sit there Rome declares war?

[MaximusGauis]

Thanks EB team for all your work on .81. I'll have to finish my Rome campaign and give the new .81 a whirl.

[Blingerman]

Well, the game works perfect for me and I can save in the lusotannan campaign. I had a clean EB 0.8 installation in a EB folder.

[Caesar Vastator]

Thanks BE team for the patch!!
The lusotannan load/save bug happens also to me.... very strange (i have a clean istallation)

"The lusotannan load/save bug happens also to me.... very strange (i have a clean istallation"


Im so pissed , the faction i want to play is broken , i been thinking why it doesnt work , cant find the answer BAH

We know the others faction are working ,so Lusitan is missing something , or has something different from others , lets find what is wrong BAH

[Moros]

Yes this lusotannan thing is getting really wierd. Some can save/load others can't. And I'm quite sure I didn't do anything wrong during the instal.

A very weird bug. Half the team has no problem at all, and the other half (including me) is experiencing the same issue you guys are reporting - can't save a Lusotanna game. We are testing out some strategies for dealing with it, however. In the meantime, every other faction is completely, 100% playable. So if anybody MUST play Lusotana, just stay with v.80. Otherwise upgrade and enjoy!

[Oleo]

Awesome news guys!, installing as I type

[Lysander13]

Thanks EB Team!!..You guys just made my weekend!!..Just upgraded and installed .81 patch to my .80 installation and everything is good to go..The Lusotannan save bug has apparantly skipped over me as i can save that campaign just fine..Woo-Hoo ..

[Julian the apostate]

and the lord proclaimed YAYYYYYY

[kambiz]

Congratulations EB team ,Nice work. So what's the next step? Final release or another Patch?

Thanks a lot for the effort

[C.LVCIANVS]

... What more? THANKS TO THE EB TEAM PANTHEON!!!

[Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom]

How the crap doo we use that torrent file. its just a 15kb file... its prolly cuz ive never used a torrent b4 what do we do?

----nevermind-- I googled it......no one answered anyway..

[CaesarAugustus]

Yes! Finally! Thank you EB team for all your hard work!

5. Copy this entire folder to a new directory and rename THE COPY (for example, instead of "Rome: Total War" it would be "EB")
6. Install EB v.80 into the new "EB" directory

Do we have to do this for EB v.81? I'm a little low on space....

[Wolfman]

Yes! Yes! Yes! THANK YOU EB TEAM!

[pezhetairoi]

Hmm, I checked the list of unit changes, and I note there was no mention of the unit recruitment gap in northern Hispania. Does this mean northern Hispania is still devoid of troops?

That aside, YAY! Finally Makedonia no longer needs to go round with hordes of Hoplitai Haploi. And on the other hand, oh no, neither does KH... no more blitzkrieg. xP *ph33rs the foretold Greek Hoplite General's Unit*

[soibean]

I think I found my bit torrent problem... is bit torrent always so slow?

[The_Mark]

Found the bugging bugger bugging Lusotannans. The thing affects only a certain unit size (huge or large) and is easily fixed.

Quick fix: Goto world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/CAMPAIGN_SCRIPT.txt line 2080 and replace 0.3 with 0.22

Oh yeah, the bug is savegame compatible, in case someone is worried about that

[Moros]

Yes! Finally! Thank you EB team for all your hard work!

you don't have to, but it is recommended that you do so.

Edit: that explains why some had it and others didn't. THX The_Mark!

[Teleklos Archelaou]

I removed the period after your "0.22" The_Mark. Just in case some didn't realize it was the period in the sentence.

Oh, and terrific work btw! Mine didn't work before, but it does now! Great fix!

[Red_orbiT]

Excellent work as always:)

After a few hours of playing, I can confirm that saka is indeed fully playable now:D

Thank you!

[Artificer]

I seem to be having a problem. I've downloaded the patch via BitTorrent, as recommended, and installed it in the EB folder within the RTW one. The EB 8.1 shortcut appears on my desktop, as it should, but it then a window with a flashlight pops up asking for me to browse the computer in order to find the proper .exe. Alright, so I do. I assign the shortcut to open the Rome.exe, because there are no other compatible files in sight within the Rome or EB folder within Rome.

Then trouble begins.

When I open the shortcut it takes me to EB, and so far everything looks peachy. Except when I look at the version number at the bottom left of the menu screen. It still says 0.8.0.

Am I doing something wrong? I had reinstalled everything (RomeTW, EB 8.0, 1.3 & 1.5 patches) prior to putting 8.1 in and still this happens.

[bovi]

Artificer, the mod *absolutely must* be installed in the directory where your RTW resides. Not the EB subfolder.

[Kull]

The_Mark is The_Man

Need we say more?

[Artificer]

Thanks Bovi, I'll uninstall EB and try again then.
