    Default 8.1a BI.exe question

    It's launching 8.1a with BI.exe. It's lauching fine but I have a question. A provincial campaign is on the main menu screen that has " Copy of Imperial campaign" campaign in it. They both work. Is there one I'm supposed to use over the other? Or did I goof up somewhere?

    I followed these instructions posted Oleos. I'm not complaining as they both work ( thanks Oleos ). But yea it's bit odd.

    EB with BI:

    - have a proper 1.6 BI with EB

    - Make a shortcut with a targetline:

    Code:

    "your install folder\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:eb -nm -show_err


    - make a copy of
    Code:

    your install folder\eb\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campai gn

    and rename that copy to barbarian_invasion (you should now have two folders in that location)

    - make a copy of
    Code:

    your install folder\eb\data\text\imperial_campaign_regions_and_ settlement_names.txt

    and rename that copy to: barbarian_invasion_regions_and_settlement_names.tx t.

    -delete
    Code:

    your install folder\eb\data\world\maps\base\map.rwm

    I use the EB main campaign because the provincial campaign only allows normal unit sizes. Apart from that, I haven't noticed any difference.

    If I understand correctly, you have two folders in this location:

    your install folder\eb\data\world\maps\campaign

    - imperial_campaign
    - copy of imperial_campaign

    you should rename the second to barbarian_invasion.

    But anyway, just use the main campaign from the menu instead of the provincial_campaign. The main campaign allows you to set options before the start and generally works better.

    No, I think he means, you can choose ( in the main menu ) between eb main campaign and provincial campaign ( only provincial campaign works : the other one says choose an item (or something like that ) from the list below )
    But when you choose provincial campaign you get two choices : Barbarian campaign and again EB main campaign . They play both and appear the same.
    The question is : is there a difference between these two and which one shall we choose?

    ( right now I'm playing the EB main campaign (thus not the barbarian) but AI is not as aggressive as I had hoped for)

    When I launch a campaign, I get back on the menu, without even a loading screen.

    When I get back to Windows, I have apparently a problem with the pronvince of Adiabene, who doesn't exist anymore.

    Yes, I have done evreything exposed there...
