    EB is for RTW. Many who have RTW do not have BI, and requiring it would exclude those from playing (I assume using BI-only content would break the game for RTW). As you say, there are minimods that add this, so use them .

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Not necessarily...RTRPE and XGM, for example, will install 2 shortcuts if you have BI installed. One to the RTW exe and one for the BI exe. You can then choose which to run. This way no one is excluded

    The point is, if you run an edu with the bi abilities in it on RTW it will crash. Thus we would need to versions of the edu, and either have a batch shortcut or two installs. As we have never had any plans to do either, and we are certainly happy with the way the EB community has offered its services to help people who want to play on BI, we don't really see any need to break away from our current plan to only work on RTW.

    Really? I just checked my installs of RTRPE, XGM and RTRPE Extended Realism Mod and none of them have two EDUs or separate installs for BI.

    Each of them however installed 2 shortcuts when they detected that BI was also installed...1 to the RTW exe and 1 to the BI exe

    Hi mcantu,
    That may be because those modifications do not utilise the sheild wall or any other BI abilites. I, sadly, cannot, however, be sure as I have not tried either of the modifications mentioned. Hope this helps you, cheers!

    We are certain of this: if you run an edu with bi abilities included through the RomeTW.exe then the game will crash.

    But couldn't the EB team at least be so kind to create an EDU file with the BI abilities available to download separately for those who wish? No discredit to Watchman and his work, but it would feel more official and "EB-true" if the actual team decided which units should get what ability.
