Can't start a campaign

[Ravenfeeder]

Same problem. All I have changed is the shorcut to run BI.exe instead of vanilla.

[mcantu]

you guys missed a step in getting it to work w/bi

[Ravenfeeder]

Care to share what that is? I looked through the forums before posting. My simple change of the shortcut was all that I used for 0.8x (I think).

[DeathEmperor]

Yes the only change I made was changing the target from the RomeTW.exe to the BI.exe

I changed it back and I can play campaigns now, but I'd much rather play 1.0 with the BI exe for more naval invasions and ai activity.

In 0.8x you had to choose the option of a Provincial Campaign. Choosing EB main campaign threw up the same error as we are getting here. This option is no longer there.

Anyone?

here a easy way to play EB on BI (from LestaT)

Step One

1. Open Rome - Total War folder
2. Open EB folder
3. Open world/map/campaign folder
4. Rename imperial_campaign into barbarian_invasion
5. Open descr_strat.txt inside the barbarian_invasion folder
6. Find campaign imperial_campaign and change it to campaign barbarian_invasion
7. Save the file and exit the folder/s

Step Two

1. Open text folder
2. Copy and rename imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt into barbarian_invasion_regions_and_settlement_names.txt
3. Save file
4. Open campaign_descriptions.txt
5. In the notepad (or any text editor) click;
a- edit
b- replace..
c- in Find what: box type IMPERIAL_CAMPAIGN_
d- in Replace with: box type BARBARIAN_INVASION_
6. Save and exit

Step Three

1. On the desktop, right-click on the EB shortcut
2. Left-click properties
3. In the target line, replace RomeTW.exe with RomeTW-BI.exe
* do not replace the whole-line, just the stated words above only.
4. Click apply and exit the box
5. Run the game....

Note: Just to add, this assume that prior to installing EB, you already have RTW and BI installed and patched to v1.6

That's worked, thanks.

Obviously the work to make the game more mod friendly has stopped the original way of working.
