EB in Barbarian Invasion: an unofficial patch

The annoyance of constantly having to search for the posts that enables EB for BI, as well as the annoyance that mods that introduce the shieldwall but make all sorts of other wacky changes, has driven me to create an installer. I've done an extensive write-up on my blog.
It should be save game compatible if you've copied over the campaign folder manually. It's only 100K too.

Brilliant.

That's cool. Unfortunately the team really can't benefit from it (

) since we are always testing and working on the mod and need to all be on the same page with each other on this 1.5 build, but it might make it a lot more fun for some fans with BI. I hope to be able to play EB with BI when we're done, but that ain't happening yet.

Playing it with BI is a real treat. The AI actually uses the shieldwall from time to time, and is a nice tactic to have when doing city fighting or against cavalry. It also makes overhead phalanx units look more realistic. On the campaign map, the AI will actually conduct naval invasions. Also, in vanilla EB, the slingers-making-archer-sounds drove me bonkers, though I'm sure that fix could be ported back to EB with RTW.
