    Default Getting Hannibal

    I've been playing Carthage for a while now with this mod and it surprises me to see that there isn't any Hannibal:hmmm:Or am I just looking wrong? Am i still waiting for it to happen?

    Hannibal Barkas was born in 247 BC, his father was Hamilcar Barkas. I'm past 247 now, in fact I'm playing around 244 BC. But I actually can't find Hamilcar Barkas either Is it the mod or am I just being stupid.
    I'll describe the family tree:
    One man is on top: Hanno
    He has 4 sons: Hasdrubal, Burrhus, Theophanes and Hamalcar.
    I thought Hamalcar was going to be the father, but looking closer Hamalcar isn't Hamilcar
    Hamalcar's only son is called Vettias.

    I hope you guys still understand what I'm saying here

    Please help me out here. Thanks in advance.

    The game starts at 280 BC. As Hannibal was born in 247 BC he can't be in the game as you can't decide when a child is going to be born. Perhaps it can be made with a script.
    End of an era

    I had had a Hannibal, but his father wasn't Hamalcar, but Hasdrubal, if i remember correctly... Births are random (altough they are influenced by some character's traits) so a "Hannibal" could never exist, or his father could be someone else.
    It's only after you have lost everything, that you are free to do anything.

    Do a search here and in the workshop section. You can create a Hannibal with a script(easy thing I afaik), but he won`t be part of the family tree. As for him or his father existing at the start of RTRPE(280 BC), afaik neither was yet born.

    Unless you can accurately replicate the movements of his Dad, then you can't get him. A single day delay in Hamilcar's son being conceived would have great differences on how he turns out, including what name he gets.

    Think of it like that.

    Is there some way to just rename one of the children or characters? Ive tried editing names but it screws up. I wouldnt mind so much him being around 40 or so years earlier i would just like a general named Hannibal with awesome traits running around the Italian Peninsula

    I found a Captain Hannibal once. But then he was defeated and I never saw him again.

    That's what I found once too, trying to get heroic victories with the unit just to try to get a Hannibal. Didn't work
