I don't use my Mac as gaming platform, so no help from the team here :(
Try to ask Feral about your error.

Im missing the Latin voicemod....every language change in general....All the commanders and campaign map pieces still speak English. On the battle map, I don't hear commands in general other than battlecries, charges, some groans, what not. Help?

I have this exact same problem and am a total newbie to the mod and using this stuff etc. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks

I also can't seem to do the manual installation as the RomeData.dmg is showing as a 'drive' and I can't copy anything into it

[XSamatan]

In case of the greyed out save button, try to manually create this folder ...\EB\saves and take possession of it.

Anyone have any ideas on this? Really frustrating as I can't play EB on the Mac it seems

[Speedysteve1980]

Ok I made some progress by manually creating a dmg via the disk utility program and manually entering the data files needed for EB.

Now.....the load game intro screen hangs for about 20 seconds but it does load up = great.

However. It's CTD every time I start a campaign and choose a faction and hit the forward arrow. I've got this report. Any ideas anyone?

[Speedysteve1980]

Ok my saga continues.....The above CTD was due to me forgetting to delete: Data\EB\Data\world\maps\base\map.rwm

Now I am stuck.

Whenever I select my faction on the campaign screen and click on the arrow it takes me back to the new game screen and I can sit here 'happily' in an infinite loop of choosing my faction and constantly being returned to the new game screen. Has anyone experienced this and got a solution?

Thanks

Hi!
This may be a stupid question, but I have some difficulties trying to rund EB on my macbook. When I try to run the script on the rome mod setup this text shows up: Last login: Sun May 27 05:54:38 on ttys000
Eiriks-MacBook:~ eirik$ /Volumes/RomeModSetup/Files/RomeModSetup.command ; exit;

Then when I tried to write -mod:EB in the advanced options. Then I clicked play, but then the usual RTW ran.

So what could the problem be? Any help would be appreciated :) Sorry if my english is bad

[Beaubishesky]

I have the same problem...
