Those were broad social and military changes, not the actions of one man. So much of Hannibal's march depend on Hannibal being born, and being born the same person in the same world. It's not inevitable and not necessarily likely that it would have occurred.Originally Posted by Shabby_Ronin
It's true that EB's reforms mostly follow history, but that is simply due to limitations of the engine. There are only so much reforms and reformed units one can include. With the exception of Epiros, all factions in EB were around for enough time to have at least a chance to reform. One can therefore argue that the reforms included in EB are historically the most likely option, even if they need not have happened at the time that they did.
Including Hannibal's march, on the other hand, seems an attempt to shoehorn a famous character in.
