You must activate the script every time you start a new campaign and every time you load a saved game. If you've played a great amount of time with the script off, you probably have tons of problems and the script won't work quite right anymore. If that is the case, it is suggested that you start a whole new campaign and abandon the 'broken' one.

Oh Come on. Before posting such nonsense read the script for yourself onetime.
THe script in EB is only for the Money help for the AI, for the reforms and for the 4 turn script. You can play without it and dont mess up anything. Just activate it and watch all the factions having a lot of reforms in one turn

And the Punic Wars (and some other conflicts around settlements, such as Kyrenaia)?
The replenishing of populations in AI controlled settlements?
If you acuse MAA of not reading the script, make sure you actually base the accusation on something that is not demonstrably false.

I can give you a few reasons:

1-god is angry at ye.

2-the AI is designed to make YOUR life a living hell (i.e by defeating you).

3-the enemies you fight are neighbors to one another, and all are fighting you. they all use diplomats, contrary to popular implication.

4-they will band together under the right conditions (I have that in IB: IJ3 alpha ATM- me versus the romano/berber/sassanid alliance. its ending like history too: much of Rome's eastern possessions have fallen, Sassanid persia is on its last knees, and the berbers are waging guerrilla war. you can always guess who I'm playing as . they at least know that if they band together against a human, they will. its a miracle the Armenians don't want to fight me (maybe because they are quite a good mercenary pool)

my advice is to launch as many armies as possible against as many enemies as possible, and capture their lands (its how I've done it ). you don't even need large armies; a small 8 unit army will do, with you hiring/bribing men into your service.

Maybe you got your descr_stat modified... but anyway... How did the makedon expand sooo much??? in my game, they usually get pwnd by KH - Epeiros combo first....

I am personally a great fan of Clausewitsch, iounas is facing the same problem that all of us do. Berserk AI, no worries iounas.

Now back to my affinity for the old Prussian, he prescribes that when outnumbered, hold off all but one enemies with minimal force while concentrating all available force on a single front/enemy, defeating him utterly, leave a husk or a few provinces as Eluitheroi as buffers, for when you border someone, they invaribly attack you.

For roleplaying reasons I recommend the traitors. I play as Romans and faced the same situation, and I used the time-honoured Roman tradition of sacking them all, killing citizens, horses, mules, dogs, everything!!! Sack them, let the treacherous villains die in your mines, on stakes and on Crucifixes!!!

Carthage was less brutal than Rome, so you may roleplay otherwise. Point is, concentrate on one enemy and destroy him

I know how you feel man..

Wow... and to think you said that to someone who is on the team too.

Although MAA mentioned the importance of script I post this part from "EB vs RTW: What is different? A Guide!!"

Background Script:

Perhaps the most important part of EB, the background script have to be activated each time you start a new campaign or load a save game. If it isn’t activated the advisor will remind you constantly. But no worries, after some hours it will have become a habit.
But why is the background script so important? Well for one when activated each year takes 4 turns which makes it more realistic when it comes to army movement. But it also handles AI government control and prevents it from draining its cities for troops. It also adds Allied Rebel cities, to represent those cities that were allied with some of the factions, but are part of the rebel faction. Another important thing is that the faction victory conditions are also handled through it, and also provides with faction specific missions such as retrieving the body of Alexander, if you’re playing as Makedonia or Arche Seleukeia to bring it to Pella, or scripts events such as Roman triumphs.
The military reforms are also important for EB and they are also handled with the script, including the Roman reforms, but also reforms for other factions such as the cataphract reforms for the Seleukids.

Also, I think it was MAA who said that "when you play EB without activating the script then you just play Vanilla with EB units".(Sry, but I can't find the link to that post)
This is reply to seienchin post.
