Change Faction

[vartan]

In terms of the Arche Seleukeia it would roughly mean "Seleukid Rule" or "Seleukid Dominion"

Haha, NO KIDDING! Doh! And y'all wondering about all this Arche Arkah etc. Hmm, I wonder why it would mean Dominion or Rule...

Congratulations.

When did this turn into the etymology, pronunciation, and meaning of words thread?

Macilrille, for spawning a character, I direct you to this thread at twcenter: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=221683

I hope it helps, although it is for vanilla.... It also doesn't mention anything about being able to control traits, and it's a script, not a console command, which makes it a bit more complicated. You could even spawn an army with him if you want though. The name needs to be a valid male name for that faction, so hopefully (I'm assuming it is), Hannibal is a valid name for Carthage in EB.

However, once you spawn the character, you could then add whatever traits and ancillaries you like to him, using the console commands:

give_trait "General/FamilyMember" "Trait" "Level"

and

give_ancillary <character> <ancillary>

You just need to find the internal names of the traits and ancillaries for EB. At least I think you probably do.

The page WinsingtonIII linked to pretty much spells it out, just put the command into the genericScript and fire it up. Please note however, that they will be a recruited general, and not a family member. If you want to make Hannibal Barca a family member, the best way to do this that I know of is to spawn him as a rebel general with Carthage as the sub_faction, then bribe him to join your faction, but this requires a bit more work. I can give more detailed instructions if you like, as I have a fair amount of experience fiddling with this sort of thing.

I have a question regarding the changing of faction mid-game. Sometimes when i change the faction i am playing, a turn passes and the AI will have done things that i wanted to do

Does anyone have a solution for this.

I fear there's nothing that can be done about that. It's just how it works.

Actually, there is. You can code a line in that disables the AI from doing anything that turn. I don't have my pc right now, so I don't know what line it is exactly, but if you enter it in the first line of the generic_script, you would deactivate the AI.

[WinsingtonIII]

Hax is right, you can simply disable the AI as a whole using the console command disable_ai

To restore the AI, use this console command I believe: run_ai

Edit: It may be a script command, not the console command.

Thanks, I already found the list of names for traits ;-) will spawn Hannibal then and have a party with him :-D
