EB script

**The Stranger** · 02-12-2012, 12:40

I was looking into some scripts and ran into these,

; 8n: Xanthippos
; 8o: Yuezhi Invasion

What is 8n exactly? What does it do? Does it still function?

And 8o, is that script active? I've never played a campaign till that date but I might if stuff like that will happen :P

Xanthippos is a Spartiatai Hoplitai FM, will spawn when you play as the Qarthadastim, if you are at war with the SPQR prior to a certain date (can't remember which)...

The Yuezhi might be something from the older 0.x versions, I never seen anything related to it...

The Yuezhi are a nomadic group just off (or on, depending on who you ask) the eastern edge of the EB map. In the second century BC they were defeated by the Xionghu and forced to move west. In the EB open beta they were included as a faction; but they ended up being replaced by the Saka.

This part of the script will generate a large, eleutheroi invasion force, around the time of the historical event, provided you play one of the eastern factions (Saka, Bactria, the Seleucids and IIRC Parthia). Sadly, these large stacks often won't move from their starting position, so it isn't as much of a threat as it should be.

too bad :S it would make a few campaigns alot more interesting.

same thing with the Celtiberian alliance :P Its nice that a rebel army pops up to help me but its not of much help if it doesnt come to assist -_-

Perhaps in that case, is there a way to make the army come into existance under lusotannan rule with a allied-general trait and perhaps 0 upkeep but unretrainable units?

im going to work on that!

Creating a Lusitanian army with an allied general should be possible. 0 upkeep and unretrainable units is going to be more work, because you'll have to create separate entries for these units in the EDU file, which in turn means they cannot use the models of existing units.
