Start>All Programs>Europa Barbarorum>Preferences - Take the check out of minimal UI.

Hoplites already use overhand spears. Greek hoplites used their spears overhand in a shieldwall formation, just like they do in the game. Phalanxes, like the Makedonian Phalangitai, Pezhetairoi, Agyraspidai, used the phalanx formation, underhand long spears and smaller shields than hoplites, just like in the game.

I told you in another thread to read unit descriptions. Every unit gives you a brief description of the unit plus how the unit was used historically. These descriptions tell you how to use your units. You can play EB any way you like... you don't even have to activate the script each time you start a game if you don't want to, it's up to you. You can use armies of nothing but Samnite heavy infantry and extraordinarii cavalry as the Romani if you like. Nobody is making you play it a certain way.

But my advice would be to read everything and play EB as it was meant to be played.

Your general is not getting 'Rally troops' ability when they have another special ability for example phalanx or fire arrows or cantabrian circle(I think it's still there in EB).

Move the cursor to the top of the screen.
The buttons will appear from that, and disappear if you move away the cursor.

You can also press F1, tells you all the keyboard shortcuts.

I find the new screen layout VERY annoying though, the top 20% of my screen is unclickable, meaning you cannot send units out in a sweeping maneuver to the horizon. THAT annoys me so much I am considering stopping EB till it gets fixed.

So yall are saying the units still have the special abilities you just have to use the shortcut keys to activate them?
Wat is minimal UI do

[A Very Super Market]

Minimal UI takes away the bottom quarter of your screen, with all the unit portraits and special options. They're pretty useless for an experienced player

No.



And then you will be able to use the UI.
