Help with editing faction's aggressiveness

[Proletariat]

I hope this is the correct forum, but I had trouble finding anything related to my question with the search function.


I'm half way through The War with Hannibal, by Titus Livy and am pretty excited to take the Carthaginians and do some Scipio hunting. Every game I've played so far has the Scipii a relatively tame faction, content to hang out on the toe of Italy and Sicily. Is there any way to make them a more formidable, hungry opponent? I'd also like to edit the Carthaginians (little tired of the Spaniard rabble destroying them in a decade or two) and Seleucid for future campaigns so they aren't such easy fodder for the Egyptians.


Also, on an unrelated question, is there any way I can edit the frequency of storms on the campaign map and the occurence of night and evening battles? I've seen neither of these whatsoever in three or four short campaigns and two long.

Thanks for any help and I apologize in advance if there is a thread already about these things I couldn't find or if I'm in the wrong forum.
