It is nothing like the Augustan Event at all. That was a socio-political movement that had specific causes based in large, population-wide criteria, the individual component was not based on a specific name but a combination of factors mostly covered by our trait and ancillary system.

The Hannibal Event is a singular campaign by a historical individual. The specific causes are beyond the remit of a game like total war - it would require something as indepth as The Sims, not a political, military game - and as such is something that we will not ever include.

Some people may not see a problem with this, but we feel that it is at odds with our vision of EB and clashes with our view of what a historical game such as EB should represent.
