Aeudi-epeiros alliance script

[bovi]

The script makes Epeiros your ally and spawns Epirote reinforcements to help you out when you come close to the two settlements.

The spawned character is called Skepas, and has a Illyrioi Thorakitai bodyguard.

It was a pleasant surprise in my Aedui campaign, I was under some pressure in that part of the world from an unexpectedly strong Epirus & with my attention mostly in the direction of Rome when along came peace with Epirus! :)

Unfortunately I had to abandon that campaign to a CTD soon after :(

I've played several Aedui campaigns where I got that scripted alliance, of course only if I wasn't yet allied to Epeiros at the time I had troops near Vindobona. But it isn't always that useful. The epeirote troops never assisted me in taking these cities, and one time they even attacked me in the next turn...

[Tellos Athenaios]

You don't play it very wisely then. You should wait till the Epeirotes themselve besiege the town, and only then should you assault it. Let the Epeirotes do the dirty work...

[burn_again]

Hm, ok, I never tried that... But most of the time they just stand there around or walk off into epeirote territory.

I believe the same thing happened in an Arverni campaign of mine too....
