First Impressions of EB 1.0?

**CrownOfSwords** · 10-16-2007, 17:12

Here are my first impressions:

I really like the new units they look really good as always what I would expect from the EB team.

But I have two major pet peeves:

#1 There is a MAJOR performance slowdown, turns take forever it shouldn't be this slow I have 1.5 gigs of RAM and my computer is being pushed to the max. The game nearly runs so slow that it becomes unappealing after just a few turns.

#1 make sure there are no background programs running. I have 1gig of ram and the turns take 1min tops.

#2 The old music is still there. We aren't sorry that you don't like it, we do. It is a fantastic representation of ancient celtic music, which we were able to use thanks to the kindness. So how about you don't insult us, them and their music and be a bit more tactful next time?

I've always wondered what's the fuss about AI turns taking long. Even on my old computer, which was a piece of

, turns went past like water. Well, at least, like syrup, but they never took too long. Loading times, they were hell, at least for a scripter who has to load the game tens of times just to test whether or not he got the number of empty lines (which is random) between two random monitors right.

mine also runs incredibly smooth, always has. I always wonder why some folks have such problems.

You do realize you can switch off the "watch AI moves" part, right?

That does help quite a lot. Much more than it did in vanilla RTW, presumably due to the larger area under fog of war.

Nice to hear from you, Oleander Ardens. Everything fine with you?

Nice that you liked the Rhaetic units.

All fine Aymar, I'm deep into a Sweboz campaign, 245 BC by now and under the top 5.

So far it runs very smooth, even on my old system. Takes some time but no CTD so far.

Great work so far

Look ive been playing RTW as long as anyone here, I even helped beta test this mod back in the days of its creation. And I say there is a slow down in performance, i'm not stupid my settings are correct as they have always been.

And I was not insulting anyone about the horns, but that music is simply not fit on the battlemap!
