    Default Noob comment

    Hello there,

    I av just installed EB. Played 3 turns and finished. Uninstalled it. Unplayable. Unfortunately. Because it is probably the geratest mod ever made with tons of great stuff, but it seems that theres is too much in it. It is so slow, loading between turns, that I just cant play it. I have a pretty good computer, vanilla RTW was working very quick. I am too impatient to wait almost a minute till the next turn loads. And why are these upkeep costs are so high? I know that somewhere on the forum is written, how much effort the guys put in this mod. I really appreciate and admire them for making this RTW modification. But, please, tune it somehow, to make it work faster. Otherwise only the most patient will enyjoy your fruit of great work.

    Best regards: Davva

    There is a script mod which speeds up the time between turns.

    Its slow because we put so much work into it. We aren't developers so we cannot tune things.

    And there must be a lot of paitent people in the world as our current downloads for EB 1.0 is 70000.

    So thanks for your reply, but it was worthless. We cannot speed things up unless we get rid of all that labour. If that means only the paitent can enjoy, then we know who will enjoy it.

    Thanks Dhampi, what effect does it have on the game, does it cause it to be unstable or anything?

    AFAIK it just removes the client rulers and some other parts of the script without intefering with anything too critical. You'll be missing out on a fairly large chunk of the game though.

    I agree it's only one minute... and I usually spend that time drooling over what I will do the next turn. Just give it another try.

    When you have a pretty large empire, one minute load time between more than one hour-long turn is not so much.
    And yes, it is for patient people, some factions need a lot of patience in the begining.

    Loading times are for thinking about what to do next turn and about grand strategy, and for doing pushups. I'm sure there are many other activities you can also come up with to do in the time it loads...

    How EB destroys love-lifes:


    "Crap! Where did those Galatians come from?! Where are my Hetairoi?! I need to pin them down and then crash into -"

    'Honey, did you take the trash out yet?'

    'Whuh? Yeah, yeah' "their backs while they are fighting the Phalangitai. Now, if I can kill the enemy general, wherever he is, then I may - "

    'You didn't forget about our anniversary, did you?'

    'Hmm? No, no...'

    "-win this battle. WHAT?! How did that unit rout?!"

    Situations like these end up in me getting murderous tendencies against anyone who looks like a Galatian. They can expect their internal organs to be distressingly external.

    I can tolerate, play and enjoy it on my outdated and lower end system without any script butchering mods whatsoever.

    I'd rather you tune down your graphics options etc. for a better performance and avoid the extra large unit sizes.
