Spawning armies

[Celtic_Punk]

Is it possible to spawn a specific general, with a specific name and traits, with a chosen army? and is it possible for said army to spawn under your own faction?

[Vasiliyi]

It is possible, but it requires you to have some really good understanding in scripting. Check out the scriptorion in the rtw section of the forums. I would have no idea how to do it myself.

so it is possible to edit the EB script to add in a historical army of some sort, like Hannibal's invasion of Italy?

There was a minimod posted a while back that spawned Hannibal's army. Check out the unofficial modding subforum.

Short answer: Yes, it's possible. By writing a script and enabling it by the same means as the EBBS script, you can spawn armies of your choise. And there is a mini-mod which spawns Hannibas, I wanted to try it a long time ago but decided against it.

Pfft, scripting is too difficult. Just open up console, teleport an enemy general and use the create unit cheat. Same result (albeit the name of the general) but infinitely easier. You can also use the console to add or remove traits. And considering this is alternate history, the name part should not be as much as of a worry since different history would most likely equal different characters rising to renown.
