EDIT 2016/10/27:
A word of warning, this tutorial is merely left here to explain the basics behind battle scripting. The finalized version of the script is included in the 'Skynet AI' resource in the world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign add_into_campaign_script text file.
That script is the finalized version and was implemented directly into the campaign as the campaign rather than custom battles were viewed as most important. It was in my opinion the best way to implement things as the script is automatically executed that way (via the campaign script). Some people get confused as to what to do with the click on the advisor method, even if that way works for custom & campaign battles.
OP (2015ish):
First an explanation, I by no means suggest this is the only way or the best way this script was designed with several principles in mind. Further it does everything in a relatively efficient fashion, in my opinion of course. According to our feedback it lacks any major issues like battle CTD's and so on due to its design premise which is based around as few monitors as possible with the maximum effect. Note that you want as few monitors as possible, so as to lessen the load on the CPU/frame rates as well as the chance of a crash related to scripts.
I am very interested in people trying to improve upon this current design. 
1) That it would be a custom/campaign battle script activated via advisor.
2) That it could alternatively be implemented into a campaign based script. Doing this would involve two steps, one naming your script at the bottom of the descr_strat. This is the current implementation in the dev build of EBII.
3) That it would execute repetitively through every battle rather than terminate.
Creating a campaign based script is simple, you just write this at the bottom of your descr_strat located in your mod/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campiagn
Code:
script
campaign_script.txt
Then create a text file named campaign_script in your mod/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campiagn
This will execute your script upon starting or continuing a new campaign.
You will have to paste the full script (located in the second post), into the campaign_script you just created. If you are modding a pre existing mod though with 'script' and 'end_script' already existing in the campaign script make sure you remove those two lines (located at the top and very bottom respectively).
For some history on the script, several difficulties born from pre-existing engine limitations and quirks (which are in fact sensible), made this script (the campaign script version as it is different from a background script version) a very drawn out creation lasting about 3-4 months of iterations and testing to iron out several different things. For example, thanks to Gigantus I was able to allow trace logs to become readable and avoid the point of no return in regards to text editors.
The advantage of a campaign script version is that it will be automatic and always activate in any battle, even sally out battles. On the other hand, it will not activate in custom battles.
The advisor based script will activate in custom battles, as well as the campaign battles with the exception of sally out battles unless it was previously activated during the script game state, note that the scripting game state is refreshed every time you close the game.
Activation via a trigger based advisor script must be written into the export_descr_advice file. (if you do not go the campaign script route)

Text Background_Script_Text1
A MaxRepeats of 0 means an infinite amount. It is activated via the On_Display command rather than Script.
This would be Script, which means you have to use the Show Me How button to activate it rather than activation via simply clicking the advisor portrait.

There are triggers required within this file that cause this advice thread to fire.
This is a simple trigger, with a WhenToTest line which tells the exe when to fire the command, and a superflous condition of 'I_InBattle'. This could according to Gigantus be further supplemented.
Code:
;------------------------------------------
Trigger background_script_trigger_1
WhenToTest BattleDeploymentPhaseCommenced
Condition I_InBattle
AdviceThread BackgroundScriptThread 1
Using the Condition line as TrueCondition could according to a test run by Gigantus make the script fire automatically without intervention/clicking the portrait by the player. Note that I have not tested this myself as I instead moved the battle script to the campaign script where it is automatically executed by the descr_strat + campaign script. (The descr_strat must have a reference to the script so that a campaign based script fires).
Code:
;------------------------------------------
Trigger background_script_trigger_1
WhenToTest BattleDeploymentPhaseCommenced
Condition TrueCondition
AdviceThread BackgroundScriptThread 1
Using it inside of a campaign script does give a couple of theoretical advantanges, namely you can use event counters/randomly generated counters which in turn set other counters which are then used by the battle script. This may sound terribly complicated but it is a simple idea.
The foundations of battle scripting are ways to trigger/code the script itself and then unit/group labels and other related commands. Once these are written in you can start to script anything you so desire. (you can without unit/group labels but it is rather useful to have them)
script (lower case intentional) this is your basic command which leds the exe know the file contains a script. There is also an end_script command which terminates the script and lets the exe know that is the end of the script.
So far our code looks like this.
This part appears in some of the historical battle scripts, I included it just because there did not seem to be any adverse effect. It seems to say say execute the script while the battle deployment is not finished.
Code:
script
while ! I_BattleStarted
end_while
A similar command rears its head at the bottom of the script.
Code:
while I_InBattle
end_while
end_script
So to be clear, this is what the script looks like at the moment.
Code:
script ; Start of our script
while ! I_BattleStarted
end_while
while I_InBattle
end_while
end_script ; End of our script
Now we have some initial and somewhat unnecessary stuff to add, just to let ourselves know 'yay our script works!' and so on. However there is one part worth noting/explaining the 'restart_timer'. This is a basic command which restarts a timer. A timer is a way of tracking how much time passed in the game. There are different types of timers as well, one for the strat and one for the battle.
Code:
;;;;*************************************************************************************************
;;;; Initialize Battle
;;;;*************************************************************************************************
log always EBII Battle Scripts
log always Activated
restart_timer deployment_timer
I try to declare my counters at the very top of the script because it keeps things organized and as far as I can see there is no untoward effect. Logically, there should not be either as the time a timer is declared until it is used is a non issue.
Of course these counters are all named and have a purpose specifically for my own script, so if you don't need them in your own (removing them immediately would be something only advanced modders should do by the way, otherwise it will mess up your script if you use mine as as base), you can remove these.
Code:
;;;;*************************************************************************************************
;;;; Counters
;;;;*************************************************************************************************
declare_counter deploy_check
declare_counter start_battle
declare_counter FaW_and_S
declare_counter Release_Labels
declare_counter End_Labels
declare_counter AI_GRP
declare_counter AI_HTC
declare_counter AI_reinforcements
declare_timer deployment_timer
declare_timer AI_reinforcements_timer
;suspend_unscripted_advice true
What this first line means here is that we are monitoring the timer we just declared called the 'deployment_timer'. The logic token > means if the timer is more than 101 milliseconds and we are in battle but the deployment phase has not ended restart the deployment timer and set those specific counters to 0.
Note I only make those counters get set to 0 so that they clear up any previous battle related settings in those counters. This may make more sense once we progress further through the tutorial with more of the script appearing but in essence, what happens is certain counters get incremented/set to numbers higher than 0 after a battle is finished, so we must 'clear' these up for a new battle.
Code:
monitor_conditions I_TimerElapsed deployment_timer > 101
and I_InBattle
and not I_BattleStarted
restart_timer deployment_timer
set_counter AI_GRP 0
set_counter AI_reinforcements 0
end_monitor
This condition is meant to be reliant on the first condition which controls whether the timer is restarted or not. It is meant to do two things, 1) Clear any of the previous labels 2) reset the help the AI captain vs player family members script 3) set the deploy check to 1.
Code:
monitor_conditions I_TimerElapsed deployment_timer < 101
and I_InBattle
prepare_for_battle
set_counter AI_HTC 0
set_counter deploy_check 1
end_monitor
Once the deploy check is fired, this means the rest of the scripts start to fire.
To explain this logic, the first monitor checks if whether the deployment phase has ended or not, the second monitor is a safeguard to prevent future CTD's in regards to unit labels.
This code is the second monitor. Note the most important command here is the 'prepare_for_battle' which clears the external unit labels. There are two types of labels, 1) internal unit labels and 2) external unit labels. We will get into that soon as well.
Code:
monitor_conditions I_TimerElapsed deployment_timer < 101
and I_InBattle
prepare_for_battle
set_counter AI_HTC 0
set_counter deploy_check 1
end_monitor
This code here is what tells the script, 'yes we are in battle and it has started with the deployment phase ended'.
Code:
monitor_conditions I_CompareCounter deploy_check = 1
and I_BattleStarted
set_counter start_battle 1
end_monitor
So the counter for 'start_battle' is now set to 1, which means this monitor can now fire if the battle is started.
Here we can see several new and important functions, I apologize for the length of this monitor and the numerous topics we might get into but to start explaining, here is the foundation of a battle script (other than starting one which executes repeatedly).
1) An internal unit label, all internal unit labels start with three things.
The first 0, the second 0, and the third 0.
The first 0 is a reference to the 'team/alliance' number. 0 is generally considered the enemy alliance number, whereas 1 is the player (note! this scheme changes when there is a second reinforcing AI army *third as well no doubt but I have never been able to test that or have reason to).
What this means is that if you label an internally named unit with an external label. (extracted the bolded external unit label so I could explain), then it may have its AI automatically turned off unless the command 'release_unit 0 0 0 MAu1' is used as well. Normally, as the players units do not have an AI in the first place except when directly placed under the AI by the player, this does not matter.
However it will matter if you have an AI reinforcing army. Hence you have to remember to release all the units or suffer grave consequences with a mostly unresponsive/defensive AI.
Next, we have the ability to name 'groups' of units. Naming a unit group repeatedly would be redundant, hence I just went and named them all at once. (also note that unit group commands still work doing it this way even if the external/internal unit labels do not exist because there are not enough units in the battle to cover them all).
This issue of internal/external unit labels is a non fatal issue by the way, and is simply reported in the log. I suppose it doesn't crash as some of CA's coders for historical battles may have encountered the issue as well. In any case, it is what allows us to definitively label all units/unit groups in any battle.
Code:
label_unit 0 0 0 MAu1
Code:
monitor_conditions I_CompareCounter start_battle = 1
and I_BattleStarted
set_counter Release_Labels 1
set_counter FaW_and_S 1
if I_CompareCounter Release_Labels = 1
set_counter start_battle 0
end_if

Next we have the fire at will commands applied directly after the units are labeled. Again this may throw out an error about a certain unit not being defined internally/externally but it doesn't matter here either.
What it does is set the fire at will mode on automatically for player units, whereas vanilla had it off by default for the player. And in my opinion the AI as well, unfortunately the reloading bug is compounded by this default off decision by the AI/game. It should have been on by default which may have meant the reloading bug we often see with precursor units would have been less prevalent. I do have eventual plans one day to try to address it once again but at preliminary tests scripting doesn't seem to be helpful in fixing this either.

Next we have the 'release' back to the AI control for the units as stated before, this is necessary or you will see the AI in a stasis in certain battles.

Then we have 'cleanup' for all these counters.
Code:

and I_BattleStarted
set_counter Release_Labels 0
if I_CompareCounter Release_Labels = 0
set_counter FaW_and_S 0
set_counter End_Labels 0
set_counter deploy_check 0
end_if
end_monitor
This is a nearly finished idea based around ordering the AI armies to do a specific task defend until a reinforcement based timer completes upon the condition that it has not lost a certain percentage of units. Although these monitors have not been shown yet, I am just explaining the concept behind an event monitor for reinforcements.
According to player feedback it does work to an extent, but as usual I am trying to perfect it.

Here we can see the AI Reinforcements functions based on the timer (again revolving around the principle of a 'restart_timer' command and comparisons to counters). Note that ai_gta_add_objective may likely require a direct AI related label for the internal unit. However internal EBII testing indicated that some users have problems with this command for some reason causing their game to crash. In any case I included it regardless as it doesn't have a negative side effect and there are future plans for including such a thing if possible.

Next we have this part, it monitors certain AI units. Namely the general unit, if the general is under attack the entire army switches into an attack state regardless of its previous AI based orders. (often players including myself would exploit the poor defensive AI by killing off its general in several repetitive cavalry charges during which the AI wouldn't react very well if at all). Further there is an army based one that kicks the AI into gear if under fire/being attacked in some way or another, this is to limit another player exploit we all used at one point or another firing at the uncaring enemy with our archers.

Here is the help the captain script, which revolves around two principles 1) the CAI often sends large captain stacks around without a FM to help it, and inadvertedly attacks the player with such a stack, an overwhelming majority voted for the AI led captain stacks to receive a buff in regards to morale if attacked or attacking a player army led by a family member. Hence this script.

and I_BattleEnemyArmyNumberOfAttribute general_unit = 0

Next we have a couple scripts meant to force certain behaviors that should always happen to happen. As the AI has been known to refuse to attack when it attacked you etc. As you can see some of them are also counter dependant and based around certain conditions, this is because in battle scripting you must exclude certain behaviours and make sure they are not overwritten in any way by previous commands.

Hopefully this tutorial clarified at least a couple of things for you, if you still have any questions feel free to ask! 
I'll include a quick/final summary here.
1) A way of executing a battle script is necessary, you should either write your script into export_descr_advice or a campaign_script (or whatever name you prefer).
2) Your script must be able to execute repetatively in more than one battle to prevent issues with a second battle not starting or crashing due to a lack of the prepare_for_battle implemented in your script.
3) Your script must contain valid commands, everything is parsed, use the docudemons for ideas on scripting conditions and or commands/events. You can use excel viewer (free software provided by microsoft) if you do not have excel to view them.
Lastly here is what the final script looks like.
