The march of time

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Why not tie it to the March of Time as well? It would be slightly ahistorical in Polybian times, but not so extremely ahistorical in Marian or Augustan times. The human player could even voluntarily wait to upgrade his cities in Italia to keep things more historically accurate.

Aren't the Ala Imperatoria upgraded bodyguards for the Romani?

I think it is Eqvites Singvlares (Picked General's Guard Cavalry)

This unit:


They replace Eqvites Consvlares (Republican Consular Guard Cavalry) after Augustan reform , aren't they?????

They dont have general_unit_upgrade attribute so they are not upgraded bodyguards!!!!

Does that mean we cant get them after Augustan reform ?????

Something fishy is going on with my Romani game. I've got a Proconsul's palace in all five of my central Italian provinces (Roma, Arpi, Capua, Arretium, Ariminium), indeed I have them in every single province in Italy.

Yet I'm certain they've not happened, is there a population trigger as well as having the right building? Makedonia in my game could really do with those reformed phalanxes to give them something to beat Koinon Hellenon. Plus the Pahlava need those cataphracts or whatever it improves for them.

I've only played a single turn without the script activated, because I couldn't get past it otherwise without a CTD. I have been flipping back and forth between the old script and the optimised one, but I can't imagine that would cause problems.

A Proconsul's palace corresponds to a Large/Major City. What you need is a Hughe City in the right province (see the EB 1.1 Maps thread for a map ) with ditto palace.

They're all Huge cities with the top tier government building. Every single city in Italy. I'm at 171BC for reference.

I've got some with populations over 28k with nothing left on the building queue.

What's an easy way to check if it's happened already? Might I have missed it when one of those many cities triggered it? I've seen the popup before in another game, so I can't think I wouldn't have noticed, but I might not be remembering. Is there a marker in one of the AI faction's cities I could find using the generic script? Is there a particular unit I should be looking out for in their barracks roster to tell me it's happened (like the Makedonian Reformed Phalanx)? I note that the Greeks are using Thorakitai - is that a sign?

Turn FOW off, check a Baktrian FM for Hetairoi Kataprhaktoi; or a Hayasdan one for Elite Cataphracts (not kinsmen cavalry!); or a Pontic one for Hetairoi/Hellenic Cataphract style bodyguard.
