    that should do the trick.
    Nope, it does not help :/ Anyone got ideas, why?

    This error should only appear, when you have altered the descr_strat.txt.

    I ran into that problem a few hours ago when trying to manually get nightbattles enabled in my installation.
    After I changed descr_strat.txt (in D:\Program Files (x86)\The Creative Assembly\EBV1 mod\EB\Data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion) to contain "options bi" and "night_battles_enabled" without the ";" in front of them, the checkbox in the prebattle screen always stayed dark grey (tried with Pyrrhus, who has enough command stars to be nightbattle capable without traits). That was the same result as with Ferromancers EB for BI installation. After looking around in the forums I found a description of how to get EB to work on the .EXE of the Alexander expansion. There it was recommended to not use "options bi" but "options +prebattle_night_battle_tickbox".
    In the first try I added the "prebattle_night_battle_tickbox" after a "," in the same line as "options bi". When I tried to start a new campaign a got the above error message.
    The reason for the error seems a to be an error in the "options" line (which is not the line that is reported to be faulty !).
    I got the error to disappear and have the night battle tickbox enabled when I replaced "options bi" with "options +prebattle_night_battle_tickbox". (the + is essential!)

    I finally made it to work. I followed instructions in this thread: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...3&postcount=85

    However I used descr_strat from ferromancer`s installer to have night battles and formations enabled. So far the only glitch, is that there is no icon for shieldwall in the battle interface (clicking appropiate hotkey works though).

    You will only have the option to begin a night battle, when your general has at least 4 command stars. The night-fighter trait is disabled in EB. To activate it, you would need to remove the ";" at the beginning of each line in the "NIGHT FIGHTING SECTION" of the "export_descr_character_traits.txt" file. This gives general a chance to acquire the traits.

    Additionally in ''../eb/data/export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt'' you have to add the following lines (they should not be present in vanilla EB)
    Night_Fighter
    Night_Fighter_desc
    Night_Fighter_effects_desc
    Noctophiliac
    Noctophiliac_desc
    Noctophiliac_effects_desc

    and last in "../eb/data/text\export_VnVs.txt'' the following lines should be added, if they are not present:
    ¬--------------------

    {Alone_in_the_Dark} Alone in the Dark

    {Alone_in_the_Dark_desc}
    In the dark, there were always strange noises, and as a child this man heard them.

    {Alone_in_the_Dark_effects_desc}
    -1 Command when fighting at night

    ¬--------------------

    {Night_Fighter} Night Fighter

    {Night_Fighter_desc}
    This trait allows a general to fight a battle at night.

    is there a chance that this installer works with eb 1.1? btw great installer it works perfect for me...

    I would not use this installer on my 1.1 installation were I any of you. As it does not appear from the first post that it has been updated for 1.1. It will break your installation as you will be overwriting the 1.1 EDU for the old 1.0 EDU with added BI abilities. I would recommend you do it manually or wait til this is updated for 1.1.

    I used it with 1.1 and it seems to be working fine, no trouble with crashes so far in either campaign or battles... I also didn't install any of the BI specific features such as the shiled walls or night battles.

    Oh, ok. I've never used this installer and wasn't aware it offered you options on what the user wants to install. I manually add all of my BI stuff. I guess as long as you stay away from adding the BI specific features the user may be ok.

    yeah, i've been using the old 0.8x version on 1.1 without the EDU changes and it works fine...

    I actually thought you weren't supposed to use those special features with 1.0 either and so never have... I always used TWFanatics' First Cohort/Better Hoplites mod anyway which I liked the most anyway. No idea if it's compatible with 1.1 though.

    I had that error and then realized that I had forgotten to install EB 1.0 before applying the installer.

    Hello, to all.

    First of all, thank you to the creator of this mod. BI adds a whole new lvl of dimension to the already wonderful game (lets face it EB is just too good to be called a MOD compare to Vanilla RTW).

    I have just installed 1.1 (vanilla > BI > 1.6 patch > all permanent fixes for 1.1 > BI of EB 1.0).

    I believe as long as you DON'T opt to use shiltron/shield wall and night battles, this mod functions flawlessly. At least for me it runs with NO problems.

    I posted a similar message in another thread, but I thought it would be appropriate to add it to my own thread about the mod:

    I would like to let you know that I'm finally back and currently working on updating my installer to version 1.1 of EB.

    I am also going to remove schiltrom because it's horribly horribly broken after much testing. Two problems with it. The AI sometimes gets confused and puts a unit into schiltrom (in the middle of nowhere on a field sometimes) and just leaves it there to be slaughtered. Second, it seems while schiltrom is sometimes effective against a cavalry rush, I've noticed that some units will stand there and do nothing when engaging in hand-to-hand. It doesn't matter if it's a strong unit or weak unit, but many times the schiltrom will kill not a single enemy unit! Something is screwy and it will have to wait until EB2.0 to put schiltrom back into the game.

    I feature I will be adding is for a troop to carry torches during night battles. If possible I will make it so it's an optional feature in the installer.

    Currently I'm slogging through the EDU file, one unit at a time :)

    Any idea what the MP EDU is all about? I assumed it's for multiplayer. If so, I'm not to going to add shieldwall or can-swim to it so that it's compatible with other mods if they also leave the multiplayer EDU alone.

    MP EDU is as you guessed is for MP games.
    im still using your old installer (for 1.0) and it works fine, just needed formations option dis activated when installing.
    glad to see you back and looking forward to a new installer.

    Only if you leave all options unticked (no shield wall, night battles, etc) and it will set everything up so that EB of any version can run with BI. I'm currently updating it so that the installer is fully compatible with EB 1.1.

    Okay. I've now updated everything to work with version 1.1 of EB! Please redownload it. REMEMBER TO UNINSTALL THE OLD EB FOR BI FIRST!

    As far as the permanent fixes, I'll think about adding them at some point, maybe as a part of the main section or as a separate check box. I'll have to investigate.

    I've updated the first post with all the new information regarding the installer.

    If any of these mods change the EDU, then you won't have shield-wall. BUT. If you only install the "main section" of my installer (the first checkbox), you can have any of these mods installed over my installer, and then you'll be able to play these mods with BI instead of vanilla RTW.
