I need help installing this mod.
I tried what you said to do. I have a clean installation of Rome Total War (1.5) and Barbarian Invasion (1.6). I downloaded the v0.81a from the EB site, and followed the instructions from the installer. I told the computer to install it into a copy of the Rome Total War folder.
Everything worked well and the file installed just fine. The problem is that whenever I try to open it the computer locks up at the loading screen and I have to use control-alt-delete to bring up the task manager and end the process. Nothing else works except shutting down the computer manually from the CPU.
I've tried downloading several times, uninstalling and reinstalling the mod, installing directly into the original Rome Total War directory and none of those has worked. The only thing I have left to try is uninstall and reinstall Rome Total War and Barbarian Invasion then patch them up to 1.5 and 1.6 respectively, but first I have to uninstall EB (again), which will take about an hour, and then do that, and finally re-download EB, and try to install it into the Rome Total War folder (I'll try a copy first, and if it doesn't work again I'll try it in the original Rome Total War folder).

Any help would be readily appreciated, and if I am doing anything wrong with the installation please tell me so, as I probably missed it myself. I will write down everything that happens while the installation is occuring (with times and everything) so that if anything happens I can give a step-by-step guide to what I did, how I did it, and for how long it went on. Hopefully I can solve this, since this mod looks awesome and vanilla RTW just seems too unrealistic to me.
