Are there... (new maps showing govt placement options?)
A list/map showing each factions Type I/II areas? I would swear I saw one but for the life of me can't remember where. This is mainly b/c I test drove the Maks today (mmmmm....) and I took Kallatis, which is a city they have to take (I believe), yet I can only install a Type III/IV gov (and Maks 3 and 4 are NOT pretty in the PO dept). I would have thought that it would rate a Subjegation/Type II. Plus it makes me think my hair-brained idea of ignoring Asia Minor and the recurring grey elephant and pulling a Yukon gold rush with the Maks and heading for the Bosphorian territories is just that. Which is sad, since I liked the thought of crushing pitiful steppe armies with my beautiful Mak armies (and also those yummy pathetically defended Baltic territories). Cuz if Kallatis is considered Outlying I see no reason why the Bosphorian poleis wouldn't be either.
Also, I remember a thread a little while ago that mentioned possibly doing a gradated AI money bonus (in part because of the recurring AS steamrollings) and since my search-fu is weak at the moment, I haven't found it. In any case, I was wondering if anyone ever implemented that bit of script and checked the results? If not, I'm perfectly willing to give it a whirl, as long as I am pointed in the right direction. I'm getting tired of seeing the grey beast repeatedly; it seems that the only times the AS doesn't pile drive the Ptolies is when they lose quite a few critical battles early on, or somehow (only happened once ever with me) sign a peace treaty with the Ptolies (and it lasted over 40 years too!). Which implies some tweaking needs to be done (ironic since I read that the Ptolies were the steamrollers up until 0.8 I believe).
Anyways, just my tired ramblings; I'm sure I forgot something:dizzy2:.
