    Someone in this thread: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=124218 had a question concerning Messages about the other faction, and I thought this could be cool for EBII. It's not necessary to show every taking of Land or battle of the AI, but heroic victories of other factions could come as a message, like the "Faction Destroyed" symbol....

    You already have this sort of messages in Vanilla MTWII, i.e. if a king dies.

    Some mods expanded this system to show the player background informations, but these historical events have to be present at beginning of the game and cannot be generated while playing.

    A script to check if a battle was fought, and also checking by whom is IMHO possible, but you still have the problem of giving the player ingame access to this information.
    Otherwise, a script to check "just" the changing of a region would be possible as you can create those descriptions for any possible variations (199*24) a priori.

    I did not mean historical events, but heroic ingame-battles. Mh, regions are not as interesting as battles. But why should it not possible to identify a battle of the AI? If you check in the "Follow the AI" - Possibility you could see what the AI does, and there are also Sites of Famous Battle of the AI....

    We cannot create new message events, though we could create event counters that could track that. But they wouldn't have any infomation about them as we cannot call on variables in event counter texts.

    But wouldnt be a message like "The saka conquered baktria" or something like that be really cool
    I mean the historical feeling of EB would even more improve if you knew about the important news in the known world.

    Of course nothing like heroic victories just some messages if a faction conqueres something important it also did in history.
    I shouldnt be hard to mod either.
