No, that Iphikratus is long dead. Iphikratos was one of the most common Greek names.

I am not sure how you can alter it, but I suspect you also have to edit the script, or it will get confused by the fact that you are allied to cities you own. Apart from Thermon and Sinope, the KH is also allied to Trapezous.

Where is Trapezous ????

btw for editing files like descr_strat.txt is it necessary to use a third party editor ???????

& how to make the KH AI attack Crete & Karia ??????

I suggest using move_character and create_unit. Take one of your FMs, create an army for him ( create_unit ), teleport hin next to those cities ( move_character ), capture them, then forced diplomacy to give them to the KH. Disband army, teleport FM back.

I always knew I could do that, but I somehow feel it as cheating..

......Like my encounter with the Epirotes in my cuurent campaign........

In the very 1st turn the epirote army is stationed near my capital. Now, I am using Alex engine in conjunction with the win conditions mod. So, now Pyrrohs definitely attacks me. I am able to defeat him with some difficulty. But then, Pyrrohs's son attacks with a four times bigger army......

So I restarted & imposed a ceasefire. After sometime I posted a spy in their lands & found that they have not attacked the northern eleutheroi state even though they have hugh stacks.....
Now by force diplomacy I took epidamnos fom them to incite them to attack as now I had an army capable of destroying them but they did nothing.......

.......

Anyway of improving the AI ?????

Sometimes they take Crete. And as long as they have a navy, they will attack Karia after some time. It happened in my Makedonian and my Epeirote Camapaign (after I kicked them out of Greece). Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

In my KH campaigns, Caria always revolts to me after the Ptolemeans or (less frequently) the Seleucids take it. They never seem to leave a sufficient garrison.

That happens too, but sometimes they sent their troops from Rhodos to Halicarnassos to take it.

Same camapign, this time KH. Isolated on Rhodos for a few years they started a naval invasion to Anatolia, attacked Halikarnassos and took it (it didn't rebel to them)! Then they went rampage in Anatolia and took Sardis, Pergamon and Nikaia.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

In this campaign, the KH took Sardis and Nikaia too if I remember correctly. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

Glad to see that KH are capable of this. However, there is a difference between my macedonian campaign & yours & that is that after unifying the Hellas, I expanded in east while you in west so KH probably got scared.

Anyways, can anyone help me in modifying descr_strat file ?????????
Check out this dead thread, someone had been trying this before but could'nt get it......

However, I don't want migration, I want the allied states to be part of KH.......

You would have to start a new campaign for any changes you make to work.

I believe Messalia is too. In a Mak campaign once I took it then turned right around and gave it to them. I didnt want to totally wipe them out, they did pretty good there too, had a long drawn out war with the Celts.
