How to Play EB

[Horst Nordfink]

Activate the Backround Script!!!
Every time you start a new game or load a saved game.

Also, destroy all enemy Government Buildings.

How do you activate background script?

How do you activate background script?

Click on the advisor in the top left and then click on "show me how"

[Horst Nordfink]

I did that and nothing happens. At least nothing noticable. He just keeps coming back with the same old message.

Make sure to click "show me how", instead of dismissing him. You may have to try a few times occasionally.

Well, at the start of a new game, the advisor appears on the top-left part of the screen. He says something like: "To activate the EB background script, click the Show Me How button". Do that, and he should disappear. If not, click on his face, and he'll go away.

He comes back when you load a save and click on one of your cities.

[Redmeth]

Don't click on his face, click on the small button below it, the show me how button.
EDIT:WH beat me to it and took the time to explain better

[Musopticon?]

Umm, he shouldn't be coming back, though sometimes the game doesn't recognize me clicking "show me how" and once I select a city, the advisor arrives a second time. This only happens if I load a game however. Besides that though, the script has always worked.

Edit: I take back what I said, this thread was obviously needed. I recommend a sticky.

This happens when you load the script twice in one gaming session, which you shouldn't do if you were playing one faction to begin with and another right afterwards (and probably not all, just to be on the safe side). If you load a campaign game and start the script, but then wish to load another campaign game (either from a save or starting a new one) you must quit RTW completely before doing so.

I've never had any major issues, besides maybe having to click 'show me how' a second time.

We know it does cause the "destroyed gov" bug in some cases. Its just best to play it on the safe side.

It happens every time I quickload after, e.g, accidentally moving an ambassador from a border city. It has never caused any problems for me, it seems the script initiates properly when I push "show me how" a second time, once the advisor reappears.

I never play more than one EB campaign at a time and so never load a separate campaign.

NOW... I did not know that......

I've had two winters in a row before, and I've decided to blame reloading a game and activating the script a second time for that bug.
