Ok, let me get this straight, because I want to clarify something before I go and screw up my EB game...

1. Do I need to have Alexander installed for this to work?

2. Currently playing EB on RTW gold, do I need to reinstall anything?

3. What's the business with ripping files from the alex cd? I thought everything I'd need to use this is included on this download save alex.exe

4. How noticeable is the speed increase in battles? On vanilla rtw I can play huge-unit size battles on max settings with no slowdown, but on EB I have to tone things down.

5. Has anyone managed to get custom and historic battles working?
