Recreating the barbarian invasions in EB?

[Intranetusa]

I wish to recreate a gigantic invasion by barbarians...

Is it possible to use the console to spawn full stacks of enemy soldiers? Or can I somehow use the script to do this?

[Hotseat_User]

yes, both cases are possible but don't ask me how
I would suggest that the easyer way is to get a babarian fm, and add_unit.... via console. you should gift them money too, cause otherwise the upkeep of his army will ruin the faction.
scripting is more difficult and I don't have a clue on it.

do a forum search on something like add_unit or create_unit. this allows you to boost the enemy's fm-forces rather quickly.

thanks...

What I plan to do is give the Sauromates 4 full stacks of cavalry (4x20) and maybe 10 full stacks of infantry (10x20).

Although is it easier to use the console to actually take control of the Sauromate myself, train/build/recruit merc and use the console to give myself units...then go back to my original faction?

VS

Just use my original faction and spawn units for the Sauromates?

btw, can someone link me to the vanilla vs EB corresponding faction list?

ie.

Roman = Romani
Germany = Sweboz
etc
