Well it could also be macedon that takes his body back to Pella, they can do it as well. Or you could wait till you have Pella. Or you could wait till you beat the Ptolemaics, THEN go to war with whoever has Pella and bring his body back then. He's dead, and not going anywhere else soon. Dunno about Baktria or Greece but I doubt they can bring his body back too..Quote:

What would be examples of historically plausible missions of this type?
If you don't tear down the tomb, and the guy who conquered and governed the city dies... Then a hundred years later, could you tear down the tomb of Alexander and ship that governor at that time to Pella? Or does it have to be the conqueror?
That's what I was going to explain to Ludens. You don't have to destroy the tomb right away. You can wait until you conquer Pella and then whatever general is sitting in Alexandria will get the mission when you destroy the tomb.Quote:

...so, they're bad enough dudes to save the Basileos ?Quote:

No, no, no "Nikesas Alexandrias" is very important, but you have to keep in mind that it will trigger for all generals that stay for at least a turn in Alexandria with the tomb still there. It will turn into "Alexandros Recovered" when you destroy the tomb and end the turn. Then you can make the journey to Pella.
Hey guess I just figured it out!
Alright most of us here know that the populations of major cities you capture like Rome, Syracuse, Antiocheia, Seleukeia, etc. tend to boom after you either enslave or exterminate them. Well in my current Seleukid campaign I accidently caused Alexandria-in-Egypt to revolt after I destroyed the temple of Sarapis ( a lot of them worshipped Sarapis apparently :laugh4: ) and tried to replace it with a temple to Seleukos. Well the next turn the city revolted and I didn't have enough money to repair everything (playing on h/m here) so I took out my entire garrison and the turn after there was a civil revolt.
Naturally the city revolted back to Ptolemaioi control so a full stack of their soldiers magically appeared and attacked the garrison I had placed outside of the city. The governor and the garrison easily defeated them, and the next turn I stormed Alexandria and wiped out the populance.
In addition to all the mnai I got my governor recieved the "Nikeias Alexandria" trait! Now the city is easily managed and I got a nice infusion into my depleted treasury. So guys what I'm saying is if you want to take the mission later and the original Nikeias Alexandria guy is either too old or dead just let the city revolt and have the young rising general you want to send over to Macedonia come in and capture the city after it's revolted. It worked for me and i'm planning to try it out again in the future. :smash:
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.Quote:
