On the other hand, the vanilla RTW campaign you're playing with EB units and map is just fine.

If you don't activate the EB script, you're not playing EB. It's that simple.

A very interesting but accurate way of putting it Michaelis.

The EB script makes EB EB. Some of the main things the script does is 1) The reforms: failling to load the script doesn't screw this up too much. 2) Money scripts: The AI will quickly go into debt without the script and will stagnate unless they expand early on. Also, it adds much of the challenge to EB that makes it more difficult/fun. Failing to activate the script will ensure the death of many factions because of tihs. 3) Governments: This is one of the main reasons you should restart. The script places governments for the AI, since they aren't smart enough to select the correct governments. Since recruitment is dependant on governments, recruitment for the AI will be severly damaged. In fact, there will be many AI towns that won't be able to recruit things for a long time. And when they can recruit units, they will be rare and most likely not their factional units. And 4) four turns per year and the seasons: This adds a good amount of depth to EB. The seasons restrict campaigning at times and are great for role playing. Also, strat map travel distance makes more since when a turn = 3 months.

Fellas,

I am not very good with the computer. Frankly, I am pretty proud of myself that I got the Europa Barbarorum MOD to even work. My question is the same as what was asked before about the polybian reform, marian, etc. In lamens terms, how do I get my reform. What do I have to conquer. Also everyone has talked about upgrading Mics. What the hell is a Mic. Do I have to modify a script, because I wouldnt know one if it bit me in the butt. Please give me some advice and please keep it as simple as possible. Thanks.
