New installer for Europa Barbarorum with Barbarian Invasion

Hey Ferromancer :D

its me again... i was also curious about the original spacing and the sheild wall thing... can you give us a screenshot of what happens with the original spacing on sheild wall? are they all bouncing about?

and i became curious about it when i :

a.)put my hoplitai in sheildwall
b.)then i make them walk
c.)then turned off the sheildwall

(now im amazed because they walked in formation, not returning to the loose formation but still in the tight formation of the sheild wall)

d.)when they get near the enemy when i turn on sheildwall they just raise their spears and poof sheildwall formation...

so i got curious that if the original spacings were made then if i turn on sheild wall they will just raise their spears... :)

nice mod tho! :D
sheild wall really hits the spot.... :D

Running into a problem running 1.2 with BI, both with and without this installer. I had a clean EB 1.1 running on BI 1.6 by means of altering the .exe in the shortcut. I patched up to 1.2, started a new campaign, and all of my starting characters got the new recruited general trait that goes with client rulers. Gave up and switched to using the regular RTW 1.5 .exe. Today I found this mod, installed it with everything but the fixes (already done) and the graphics options, and started a new campaign fine. First turn in I get client ruler traits again. What'd I do wrong?

hi Pode
1. install rtw 1.5
2.-install BI 1.6
3.-install EB 1.1
4.- install EB 1.2
5.- install BI for EB
did you install EB 1.2 after to install BI for EB ?
maybe it is your problem i have BI and i don have that problem.

That is the order I installed in, I just played for some months between steps 3 and 4. Now that I think about it, I may have used the 1.1 installer for BI and never uninstalled it before using this new 1.2 installer. Probably my issue. Will reinstall everything tonight and see if that fixes my issue.

Edit: Reinstall of just EB 1.1, 1.2, and then EB for BI seems to have cleared it up. Thanks for helping the doofus who forgot his old installs.

If you turn off shieldwall while they are marching, they won't space out. You have to give them the command to halt, then have them walk again. It's just how the engine works.

soooooooo.... the situation would be very different then if the original spacing was put on then?

No.

But you're welcome to try it yourself. If hoplites humping each other during battle is your thing.

Hi Ferromancer, I recently downloaded your minimod, and i also got the "PICK THE ITEM FROM THE LIST" problem

, keeping in mind that im new to this forum, and a mortal when it comes to messing with the game, could you provide some help, because I see good fedback from those who have it properly installed. I did all the basic steps that you have written. O and thanks for making the mod, although I cant play it, i respect the time and effort you put into making it.

And I know this is the wrong place to ask this, but what does phalanx mod do?

Thanks in advance.

hi, Ferromancer
sorry if it was asked and answered already. i am playing using Liz's mini mods pack (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=105242) on Alex exe. my question is can i also get your installer installed in the same game folder and play using BI exe, or will it mess things up?

thanks

Am I the only one who can't get his units to swim? No unit that has "can_swim", can actually swim on the battle field.

The other features all work fine.
