New installer for Europa Barbarorum with Barbarian Invasion

**Ferromancer** · 06-20-2008, 05:21

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.

. I was hoping that the AI would undo the formation eventually, but... no dice.

does this work with EB 1.1?

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.

Any known killing bugs, bugs, bugs with the perm fixess, bugs with the temp fixes, bugs in custom battle, bugs in historical battle, bugs in X faction on Y year that can lead to ultimate frustration?

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.
