New installer for Europa Barbarorum with Barbarian Invasion

No it was the only General in the stack ... it was my stack in Crete w/ my faction leader in fact during my first move. Now the shield wall seems very powerfull as I decimated the enemy who did not assume the shieldwall formation despite the fact they were on the defensive.

It's most likely that the decimation had more to do with the fact that the Greek general units have very high stats than the fact you were using a shieldwall.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to have rally and shieldwall appear at the same time.

I'm tempted to just leave the KH general with shieldwall than replace it with rally, since generals have a moral boosting radius around them already.

I could put it up as a poll in a new thread so that people can vote on it.

Dear Ferromancer,

I just installed your mod on top of a clean EB with RTW Gold-Edition. When trying to enter the single player section I then got the "please select an item from the list" message. Closing down the game I got the following error report:
Script error in eb/data/world/maps/campain/barbarian_invasion/descr_strat-txt at line 1, column2:
Expected campain or battle map type
I installed the mod into the main RTW folder, which in Gold Edition includes BI and RTW. Did I make a mistake?

I would be thankful for help and advice!

Dear Ferromancer,

I had a similar problem to Quirinus, so I uninstalled everything, I did a RTW install, BI install and then EB1.1, the only thing I've changed is the Activision folder is no longer in programme files.

I then installed your mod, I unchecked the banners box.

When I tried to run the game I got blank screen with " Generic Error unable to find skeleton "fs_fast_gladius" followed by CTD.

I unistalled Mod, re-downloaded it re-installed and same error message!

Any help, I loved playing 1.0 with your Mod, and had no problems.

After uninstalling the mod, I noticed another minor phenomenon, which is not disturbing in any way but still remarkable: My Generals still get the Night Fighter trait in vanilla EB. Of course they can't fight night battles, but the trait they have. Besides this, everything works fine so far, so I am far away from complaining about anything. Still wanted to mention it. Maybe the unistaller forgot to uninstall parts of the mod.
Like Chris1959 I think, this mod sounds very promising and interesting, and so I would appreciate some help so that I can play it. Besides this: Thank you for taking the time creating it and improving this wonderful game!

Any help, I loved playing 1.0 with your Mod, and had no problems.

I got the exact same message, so I uninstalled everything and started over. RTW, 1.3, 1.5, then BI, then 1.6, then EB 1.1, then your mod. THIS time, the mod starts up, shows the Barbarorus loading screen, then freezes. It stops responding and when I terminate the program, the option to send an error report pops up.

C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2a8b.dir00\RomeTW-BI.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2a8b.dir00\appcompat.txt

that's the information I could get from it...

I'll keep messing with it and see what happens.

I'll keep you posted.

Thank you Thrawny and good luck!

I solved the problem for me by following the instructions in this post:

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...3&postcount=85

and then installing the mod.
I followed only the ones about renaming the files and did not create a shortcut, because the installer does that. While installing it seemed to be a little irritaded and got stuck for a while with the loading bar twisting about, but then it finished successfully and I could start a campain. So far it works fine, though I did not have the time to test a lot yet.
Good luck to you, Chris and Thrawny.

If you've installed the game in a different location than the default in program files, you have to point the installer to the new location. Try reinstalling again and picking the correct folder when prompted to do so.
