Konion Hellenon......making them stronger

[Darth Revan]

Good Day, to everyone. I am currently playing as Macedonians & found Konion Hellenon (KH) to be easy pushovers. If you defeat them at Athens (which I guess everyone does) & also defeat them at Sparta (which I accomplished in the first turn itself) then they just sit in Rhodes & they don't do anything. Their army on Crete under their king Aereus is another useless army which just sits around there instead of capturing Kydonia from the eleutheroi & their army of FM's in Rhodes does'nt attempt to capture Karia by a naval attack even though they have a navy..........

Now the KH are also allied to certain eleutheroi cities like thermon & sinope......I wish to give those cities to them so that they can be a more of a challenge & also make them attack Crete & Karia.....
I read in another thread where a person was trying to substitute Athens with Syracuse for KH but I don't want to subsitute, I want to add those cities to their faction......I guess I'll have to modify the EDU & EDB files......
is this possible ???
Please reply......

You actually don't have to edit EDU and EDB files. You have to edit descr_strat.txt file and that's it.

Ok , which text I'll have to replace ????

& how to assimilate Iphikrates (Governor of Thermon, I guess he gave KH iphikratus hoplitia) & governor of Sinope as an FM of KH........

Which other city is allied to KH ???????

No, that Iphikratus is long dead. Iphikratos was one of the most common Greek names.

I am not sure how you can alter it, but I suspect you also have to edit the script, or it will get confused by the fact that you are allied to cities you own. Apart from Thermon and Sinope, the KH is also allied to Trapezous.

Where is Trapezous ????

btw for editing files like descr_strat.txt is it necessary to use a third party editor ???????

& how to make the KH AI attack Crete & Karia ??????

I suggest using move_character and create_unit. Take one of your FMs, create an army for him ( create_unit ), teleport hin next to those cities ( move_character ), capture them, then forced diplomacy to give them to the KH. Disband army, teleport FM back.

Next to Sinope.

& how to make the KH AI attack Crete & Karia ??????

Sometimes they take Crete. And as long as they have a navy, they will attack Karia after some time. It happened in my Makedonian and my Epeirote Camapaign (after I kicked them out of Greece). Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

I believe Messalia is too. In a Mak campaign once I took it then turned right around and gave it to them. I didnt want to totally wipe them out, they did pretty good there too, had a long drawn out war with the Celts.
