Quintus Sertorius' Guide to Conduct Becoming of a True Roman (Redux for EB)

[QuintusSertorius]

Quintus when you are really overwhelmed by enemy numbers do you still use classical tactics? or do you use more... effective tactics... l

I still use classical tactics. Honestly, I don't find them "less effective" with the armies I recruit. The only way they would be is if I was recruiting stacks of principes and accensi.

Check out my AAR; I've still not lost any battles I didn't mean to using classical composition and tactics. Even in repeat battles against multiple stacks it still works. There've been some hard battles that turned on a single event (usually the killing of the enemy general), but it works.

I think Hannibal should have more command and influence. Maybe command 5 and influence 10 (so as to have much more bodyguards than 40)?

In which file and where should I place this script?
Thanks for this script! This gives another prospective on my current roman campaign that is close 230 BC!

I think putting the numbers in to his stats there won't actually have any effect - you need to boost them through the traits he has.

This goes in the EBBS.txt script. It's in data\scripts\show me how\

OK, thanks!

Which traits should I give him in order to boost influence? My aim is to increase the number of his bodyguards.

Quintus, how can i give money to Makedonia in the console so it doesnt get eaten up by epeiros???

also, is there a way that i can use the console to give Pella back to Makedonia?

add_money macedon, 10000

Or however much you want to give them. I think the limit on one command is 40000, so if you want to give them more, you have to do it multiple times.

also, is there a way that i can use the console to give Pella back to Makedonia?

You can't, you have to use Force Diplomacy and a couple of diplomats to do that.

so If i were to start an historical campaing... do you recommend using medium difficulty? cause it seems that you're having a bad time micro managing all factions...

there is a way to change difficulty on midgame...(and also unit size) I've used it successfully already


it's a program...
