Greetings, fellow RTW lovers!
After reading some positive feedback on others fora about EB I decided to reinstall RTW and try out EB. I downloaded it, installed everything the way I was supposed to do it and booted up the game. I could live with the years it took to actually install the game, but it takes <minutes> to load the game up to the introduction videos? I timed it, and it's at least 3 minutes on my computer. So we move on to actually play a campaign game. I picked Pontus and after what appeared to be ages of loading time again I got to the campaign map. Fun, I'm losing thousands of coins from the get go, but that's okay - I got a big army. After moving some units around, I press the 'end turn' button and bam, that took another minute at least.
Now, my main gripe with the mod is that it makes the game so-incredibly-slow. Booting it up, starting/loading a game, ending a turn and loading battles/overlandmap take years. My question is, is this normal? I have a rig with a 2.80 pentium processor, 1024mb ram and a 512mb video card. I know it ain't good, but it runs Medieval Total War 2 without any problems at all and only with really big battles do I have to turn the unit detail and such down.
Maybe I'll give the game another try if there are decent fixes to be found, but for now I can't enjoy it thanks to the slowness of it all. I'm tempted to move back to Rome Total Realism, though I can't find the last version of it anywhere : <
