EBBS question

Hi, can someone tell me why for all reforms except for the Saka, not compare is used; giving something like this:

if not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = seleucid
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = parthia
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = pontus
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = numidia
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = romans_julii
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = egypt
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = germans
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = greek_cities
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = macedon
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = carthage
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = romans_scipii
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = dacia
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = armenia
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = spain
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = thrace
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = romans_brutii
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = saba
and not I_SettlementOwner Zadrakata = slave

whilst the saka can have a nice, simple:

if I_SettlementOwner blahblah = pontos

:inquisitive:

Thanks
