Simulating the Second Punic War

[Tiberius Nero]

It might be a surprise for you, but there are many ways of having fun, and not every one conforms to your preferred method. Yours (or anyone else's) seeing the point is irrelevant. I'll quite happily deliberately lose a string of battles to Hannibal's stack, and use Force Diplomacy to give the Carthaginians some of my settlements which I'd have to re-take.

I'd ask anyone else who isn't actually contributing to solving the problem to please abstein from posting.

I thought you were asking for feedback on simulating the 2nd Punic War in EB; my feedback was this in short: not possible. If you intend to just lose on purpose a bunch of battles against a scripted Carthaginian stack at specific dates, using forced diplomacy, etc etc you can do this without much modding advice or ideas I guess.

I did not say you are not entitled to your idea of fun, my comments were made from a balancing/modding point of view, on how and whether such a mini-campaign simulation could work in general for the average gamer (who doesn't lose battles on purpose that is).

Peace.

Well, if you just wait on the Carthies for a few decades, they'll conquer southern Gaul and attack you from the north eventually.
