    You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.

    Welcome to the .Org Mythra

    I've moved your thread to the EB forums - you should get a better answer there

    According to the EB FAQ, these are the requirements for the Marian Reforms:
    -At least the year 172BC
    -Have more than 6 Latifundia built in Italy
    -Hold at least 45 settlements
    -Fight more than 250 battles
    -Have a character that is:
    Sharp/Charismatic/Vigorous
    Popularis
    Consul or Ex-Consul
    Has Influence > 2
    Has Command > 2
    OR
    -Conquer 90 settlements.
    Theoretically, henceforth, you should be able to get the Marian reforms from 172BC onwards. I think it was set to a fixed date in older versions (0.x series), but I'm not too sure.

    I don´t entirely understand your question. You got the Marian reforms popup. It´s the whole "Cool but w.t.h. suppose to be in 106 ?" that I don´t understand. What excatly is your question?
    The Appomination

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    I think he may mean why has he got the reforms in 146 (or anytime after 172), when (at least according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_reforms, I know I know but it's close enough for this purpose :p) the reforms historically could have been put to a date around 106-107bc.
    Now I'm not a team member nor a historical expert so this is either speculative or just what I've picked up from around these forums but I would imagine the main reason for this would have because there are other conditions to the reforms.
    The Marians historically came about because of the changing nature of the Roman Republic in regards to its size and the number of men available to recruit, the EB team have never been about railroading the player down a particular route, and therefore I think the reasoning is that if the republic had reached the size and conditions (as well as can be simulated in the engine, ie building latufinda etc) earlier in history, it's possible they could have made reforms earlier.
    Plus 106bc is one hell of a lot of turns for the average player
    Hope that helps
    Cheers

    I'm going to alter the unconditional trigger to however many provinces I have in 110BC. I'm at 163BC and I've deliberately halted any building of latifunda in Italy when I realised I had five already. I don't want it occurring for a while yet, and there's every possibility one of my S/C/V FMs might turn into a Marius if I'm not careful.

    That said, I've only got 30-something provinces right now, though I might be in danger when I destroy Carthage, Greece and Macedonia by 146.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR
