EB for BI no longer works with EB 1.1, sorry. You'll just have to use EB 1.2.

Heh ok........ it's gotten so goddam hard to play eb these days, and i'm not talking just about my installation problems with eb 1.2.
Anyway why is it not for 1.1 anymore?

Well, for 1.1, you *could* run the installer with just the "main", "night battles" and "torches" checkboxes, but you wouldn't get any of the unit abilities, and I'm making no promises if it actually works or not.

Hi I have Invasio Barbarorum (great mod btw) already installed on BI, and I was wondering: will using this installer ruin my Invasio Barbarorum?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Only files in the EB subdirectory get modified, so no.

*EDIT*

Okay, nevermind.

Works fine now. :) It was some stupid video program messing up.

Did you get the AI to actually use shieldwall?

[Raygereio]

As far as I can tell; if the AI army has shield wall capable units and you're attacking with a larger/better army, then the AI will place his units into shield wall most of the time.

When the AI attacks instead of defends, I've never seen the AI do it.

[Ferromancer]

The only thing that the AI would not use properly is Schiltrom, so I had it removed from the mod (if there's an interest in multiplayer EB for BI, I could add it there). All other abilities the AI seems to use at the right time.

I just want to thank you for your excellent job!

I have used your BI installer (including the unit options) in the mid of my current campaign. So far it works just nicely, without any problems. Not only your installer is extremely user-friendly, but being save-game compatible and mod-compatible it is as much as one can reasonably wish for! Thank you so much!

Hi I have one other question:
I am still using 1.1, and I am wondering if this is still compatible with 1.1, and if not, do you still have the old 1.1 installer download link?

You might want to check the second post on this page for the first part of your question.

ATTENTION: For those still playing EB 1.1

Because it has been requested a few times, here is the installer for EB 1.1:

[Mithick666]

so wot german units can use sheildwall?

i do not know what units but in general all the units with large shields who are either "displined" or "highly trained" (e.g. Hastati, but not Rorarii).
germanic infantry frameharjoz Dugunthiz
germanic infantry gaisaz harjoz Speutagardaz
germanic infantry habukoz swaiut Druhtiz Habukisku
germanic infantry sahsnotoz Herunautoz
germanic infantry chatti spearmen Chatti Spearmen
germanic infantry cheruscii swordsmen Cheruscii Swordsmen
i think that they are all

Hey man nice one you got here... and honestly im getting addicted with my koinon hellenon campaign :D

having those shield wall on my hoplite really gets me in the zone for battles :D

though i have to turn off the night battles because they affect some of the features of EB vanilla (e.g. Victory Scroll, Faction Eliminated Scroll etc.) the pictures wouldnt show up.

i have a question man :D

how can i have a custom battle in EB:BI? what do i have to do?

thanks again :D nice job!

Hey Ferromancer,
I gave your BI.exe a try and I must admit that the new features are really nice. I was a bit scarred of that Seleucid fleet with four phalanxes in it - standing next to rhodes but... they just passed. it was 271bc

but I'd like to know if I can disable the nightbattles when I already installed your sub-mod because of this.

though i have to turn off the night battles because they affect some of the features of EB vanilla (e.g. Victory Scroll, Faction Eliminated Scroll etc.) the pictures wouldnt show up.

But anyway, very nice work.

If you could email/post/send a save file maybe we can figure out why or when this happens. I haven't seen this issue as of yet in my own games.

Hi!I play your "Europa Barbarorum for Barbarian Invasion", ist great !!!Last week its did work very good.Today i made my windows XP new, then i installed this Game (RTW+ BI +EB1.1+1.2+ EB for BI).But i have now one Problem, my Soldiers cannot do a Schildwall.Please help my !!!And sorry for my bad English !Greet from Germany !!!

[Mithick666]

hi hektor did you nstall other mods after EB for BI?
because other mods changes EDU(export description units) and the unit could not do a Schildwall.

in the intallation box de EB for BI you can disable or enable the special skill(shieldwall,warcry,swin)

other thing if you installed fine it the intro movi is the barbarian invacion?
you can check the shieldwall whit units how Triari and princeps. good look

hey, for a PBM, I had to install the FD.minimod. will my edu be broken for now?

[Raygereio]

hey, for a PBM, I had to install the FD.minimod. will my edu be broken for now?

Erm, the Force Diplomacy minimod has nothing to do with the EDU file...

[Hektor]

Hi!I do nothing install after EB for BI.And in the intallation box de EB for BI was all special skills enable.In Game I have warcry and swin.But I havn't shieldwall.Can somebody give me this EDU, and say where I should file this???.

[Mithick666]

hi hektor EDU is in the C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\Data there you must look for the file export_descr_unit
you can chek in that file wichs units have formation shield_wall goodlook

remember to star the game in the shortcut Europa Barbarorum for Barbarian Invasion

[Madlax]

I got the same problem that Cyrus had. Here's what happened:

I had to reinstall EB. I got EB1.2+all patches fixes and stuff and NO other mods for EB installed.
I installed BI for EB1.2 but instead of the usual menu I got the on from the multiplayer.

Now, here's my theory about what might be wrong: Before I installed BI for EB1.2 I played several multiplayer battles. Could that be the problem?

[Mithick666]

hi Madlax yes that is the problem
to solve it first start EB whit trival script(Europa Barborum single player)
2.- after quit the game and now start whit the shortcut BI for EB
and that is all
goodlook
