Start with Hannibal?

You'd be having him as a general 30 years before he was born...

Yeah, I just started to realize that when I realized how realistic and historically correct EB really is... Why would I want to mess that up by having Hannibal march into Rome when he was just a twinkle in his fathers eye? Thanks for the reply.. If I really want to play as Hannibal, I should look into a whole seperate mod.. I'll post this in a different forum, but does anyone by any chance know of one? Thanks.

why u dont wait until 214 bc, like I did? Name was different, but he was a son of Hamilcar Barca anyway. That was my greatest campaign.

Yeah, that's a good idea.. His name doesn't have to be Hannibal.. I mean heck, what if Hamilcar decided to name him Marca or something.. Marca Barca... lol

I think I'll do that.. I wouldn't want a whole seperate mod anyway, because it doesn't get any more realistic then EB.

Why not just script him in?

because the events that led up to his birth and rise to power were not decided in 272, and we don't railroad the player into a history. What if his father dies before he could have fathered hannibal, it would just be silly.

Basically it is a policy of eb not to spawn historical generals in who were not alive in some form in 272

Why not just script him in?

I perfectly understand why the EB team wouldn't script him in because of their policy, but is it possible to script him in through a mini-mod of EB?

[bovi]

Yes.

[theroyalwe]

Yes.

Alright, well maybe I'll do the research and make my own.. Or if someone else is nice enough to make one for me.. Maybe to have Hannibal spawn in a certain year when he started his military career or something..
