    The latest post is two years old, is still possible to get support on EB's installation? It's the first time I try this MOD. Or my question will go into oblivion?

    You gotta help me, guys... I'm upset!

    I've installed RTW, patched it to 1.3 before and 1.5 then, made a copy of the whole RTW folder and named it "Europa Barbarorum". Then I've installed EB 1.1 setting C:\Programmi\Activision\Europa Barbarorum as path, I've also installed EB 1.2, always choosing the same folder. Now why the hell I can't run the MOD? If I click Play starts the normal game, RTW. If I try to click Run Europa Barbarorum or Run Europa Barbarorum (troubleshooting) nothing happens.

    Hope they'll read my post. Thanks, as always.

    Edit: I tried to install EB into the main RTW folder, not the copy, and now it works. I also installed the three tools (EB Trivial Script, Recruitment Viewer and EB Documentation) into the EB subfolder, while the other times I installed them separately, could it depends on this?

    Moreover, if I run Validate Installation I get this.



    What does that mean? And what's the difference between Validate Install and Validate Installation?

    I'm not sure about the trivial script, but the location of the other two shouldn't matter.

    As for the validation: if the mod works, the validation is unimportant. Validation only matters when there are problems.

    Look, Ludens, and what if I want to install EB with Barbarian Invasion installed into RTW folder? I found this -> https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...arian-Invasion, always on this forum. I have to use that?

    No, that's a submod for EB: you don't need it. EB should work whether you have Barbarian Invasion (BI) installed or not.

    (The submod you linked to is an adaptation of EB that uses the BI expansion rather than base R:TW. Some people prefer it because it has a few extra features and the computer is supposedly a bit smarter. But it doesn't make a big difference.)

    Anyway, you wrote:

    So I thought you got EB working. Are you still having problems?
