It's 226 in my game, so I'm a lot closer to trying all this out.

Question is, how (as in where do I edit, what lines to I put in) do I script the appearance of these two armies?

*Hannibal brought elephants, but many of them died and could only be used in Trebia. Also after Cannae, Hannibal recruited local Italian troops like Samnites and Bruttians. I chose the loricati scutari instead of the normal scutari to show that some of Hannibal’s soldiers use captured Roman weapons. The important to see here is that there were as many Gauls as Africans and that Hannibal had a lot of cavalry.

I'm going to have Hannibal's appear in Campania in 216BC after the fall of Capua (and maybe Arpi as well). The Spanish army in 211 or so in Spain.

I'm undecided whether I'll switch back to BI.exe to run the war, or just keep scripting reinforcements since they'll be less ridiculous than the ones the AI tries to do.
