Seleucid Caravans?

[Basileus Seleukeia]

I've read that AS can build a caravan building in citys with a type 3 or 4 government. But I tried it and it didn't work! I even cheated some silk-road citys to huge size, built every road and market-building and scout parties, but still I can't build them! Is this a nasty bug or did I miss the information that tells me that this is not yet included?

They can't be built in towns with advanced government or ports.
The conditions for them are very complicated and hard to decode...

Yeah, you don't get a chance to build them often. Here is how BAktrians and Seleukids can build them:

1. Gotta send out scouts first (the first level) and that means you have to have the initial 'pacification' govt building at least.
2. *If* you have a type 3 or 4 govt (i.e., not your faction's real satrapies, but allies or semiautonomous satrapies), and *if* you don't have a trade port building at all, then you can build them.

We kept them out of trade port provinces because we were afraid it would imbalance the system. Anyway they should really only be getting them in their central asian or Iranian plateau provinces, and there's only one of those that can have a port I think.

Tried it in Alexandreia-Ariana and Hekatompylos but it still didn't work. Do I need a specific city size, market building or did I do it wrong again?

Edit: It works now, these citys just had to evolve to the next size level.
