Great mod but huge script

[The_Mark]

It's a feature. It is widely recognized by health care professionals that one should have small breaks between intense gaming sessions, in order to alleviate the strain on ones eyes, neck and shoulders (especially in the case of poorly designed ergonomics). You could, for example, do a set of push-ups and sit-ups between each turn - it's the EB recipe for abs of steel!

Maybe someone needs to sticky the change in the script, so people don't have to keep asking for it.

My abs are a lot less steely since I upgraded my pc...

Interestingly, I seem to find myself saying "why did I just do that?" more often now, which I put down to less time thinking about strategy in between turns. You should savour that time, it can really improve your gameplay. Or at least your abs...

Hee, which is why even today with a fast comp I still manually record my actions and construction tasks on paper in a ring bound notebook. (I've filled something like 30 A4-sized ones since I first bought RTW) Gives you time to think.

Excellent point.

Laughing out loud, man. That's what I've been doing! I swear, EB has been my salvation. I was about ready to upgrade my computer and buy MTW2, but now I think I'll wait--until someone comes up with a mod for that game as good as EB. Really wish somebody would do a historically-accurate mod for the medieval period, I love that time.

EDIT: And I'm doing this all on an old 1Ghz Dell with 512mb of RAM and a 128mb video card. You can imagine what my end turns are like.

EB is missing out on some of its possible fan base just because the script is so immense for the computer to handle. I for one, would have taken far better to EB had it not taken so long to load etc.

Meh, we'll live.

The script actually help make EB a more detailed, more immersive game... but yes it does make it a lot slower. I can, however, live with it both on my Phenom desktop (which only takes seconds between turns) and on my old laptop (which sometimes takes minutes between turns).

mine is definitely on the minutes scale. but i'm also in the working out camp. furthermore, i often read between turns, and i love the fact i can "play computer" while also doing something else i enjoy, namely reading. given that normally one can't do both at the same time, it's a welcome change.

i'm also in the same camp as those who enjoy planning strategy - the game can be so expansive, and decisions do need to be made carefully that it's satisfying to have a little more time to plan.

funny- my desktop takes a minute or so and my laptop takes seconds......

i hate you for your speed!

My strategy takes years to implement. So when I've settled on one, I don't want to have to take forever to end my turns.

Patience is a virtue, my dear sir. Perhaps EB is only properly appreciated by the virtuous.
