I know the Eb team is all about making you write history yourself but what if they script generals and have we do as we like.
Imagine you as hannibal instead of going through spain to attack rome ride throught the desert to wage war of the Ptomely
Ceasar be the one to conqueror Makdeonia
Personally that would be cool to give your these generals at your finger tips and you do what you will at your disposal
No.
The EB team has said this numerous times. For God's sake, start reading some threads before you ask a question,

If I may ask; how is that [what the OP wants] different from say "pick that general you already have and make him the real deal" ? Just the pedigree of the name? In that case; that's completely against what EB is about as it would force us to exactly recreate circumstances (otherwise it ain't accurate, eh?) etc. etc. which means: 0 playable factions. Guess how much fun that'd be. :juggle:
In Kingdoms I think the system works quite well, and is probably/possibly worth it in EB.. but then again - the script would be fiendishly complex to make sure the circumstances were good enough. Maybe just for the AI, it's a good idea.
There is no possible way its going to happen in EBII. I'm going to go add this to the FAQ, if it hasn't already been done.

If people want scripted invasions, then they'll just have to mod it in themselves. I believe QuintusSertorus tried to mod in the Hannibal invasion for EB1. Not sure if it's workable though.
Talk to Bryhnt, IIRC he's scripted in a load of stuff on his install...Quote:

Remember, in Kingdoms all the "heroes" and stuff were already there when the campaign started or latered entered after events that occured outside of the map. EB already has loads of starting historical characters (think Pyrrhus, Ptolemaios, Scipio Asina, etc.) and we don´t know the names of any Yuhezi generals, so... nope.Quote:
