I assume you're going to use a script to spawn an army? In that case, you can use the advance_advice_thread command to produce an adviser message.

For example

The script:

script

declare_show_me

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
          and I_TurnNumber = 10           ; campaign starts at turn 0

    console_command kill_character "Spartacus"

    spawn_army
        faction slave
        character Spartacus, named character, age 33, , x 111, y 222
        unit generic rebel general,
    end

    advance_advice_thread SpartacusHasArrivedThread 1
    suspend_unscripted_advice true

    terminate_monitor

end_monitor

while I_TurnNumber < 9999
    suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

end_script

At the top of export_descr_advice.txt, add:

;------------------------------------------
AdviceThread SpartacusHasArrivedThread
    GameArea Campaign

    Item SpartacusHasArrivedItem1
        Uninhibitable
        Verbosity  0
        Threshold  1
        MaxRepeats  0
        RepeatInterval  1
        Attitude Normal
        Presentation Default
        Title SpartacusHasArrivedTitle1
        Text SpartacusHasArrivedText1

And, in text\export_advice.txt, add the text of the message:

{SpartacusHasArrivedTitle1} Spartacus is near!
{SpartacusHasArrivedText1} Spartacus has brought his slave army to the walls of Rome and is threatening to take the city!

Plus, you'll need another advice thread and some triggers to start the script, if you don't have that already.
