View Full Version : Client Ruler
Wow, just wow. EB never stops to amaze me. I have discoverd another neat EB feauture. I am currently playing for Romans and I have managed to bribe Hiero the tyrant of Syrakousai while he was in his city. And as soon as I bribed him he recieved this neat trait called Client Ruler (with description - This man is the chief magistrate and ruler of this region concered to serve as your surrogate while little more than a puppet ruler, his presence is reguired in th city at all times to mantain bot civic order and facade of independence - 100 movement point + 1 law + 1 command when defending.) How cool is that. Really things like these makes from EB the best game ever. I really digg it.
BTW so far I am advancing historically in my campaign. And I mean exactly. I have took control over southern Italy in 270 BC. I have started war with Carthago just by intetvening in Messane at 264 BC and I have bribed Hiero in 263 BC (I know that in reality he wasnt bribed but rather agreed to become ally of Rome after his defeat but with this neat future Client ruler it serves more than well for recreating history.)

Should I mention exactly why that "client ruler" trait first appeared? Or shall I leave the mystique of EB intact? ~D

I thought the trait is there to avert his destiny by not allowing Hieron to venture away from the safety of his home town. Is it so or is Hieron's days over because of that certain bug?

Eleutheroi generals who've been bribed along with a settlement always die the next turn for some mysterious reason, at least in my campaigns. Other people have noticed it too, and AFAIK the EB team hasn't identified the cause yet.
Hiero is doing well and and he is still alive. And by now he serves as my puppet for more than 15 years, providing me his greek troops for my campaigns against Carthago. I have never heared about this problem with dying eluthori general, It never happened to me. Altough I must say that Hiero was the first and only dude I have bribed so far in EB.
