Polybian Reforms for AI-Romans easier?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Hi,

in my 1.1 Makedonian campaign the Romans have just recently experienced the Polybian reforms.

This is from the FAQ:

Polybian
The Polybian Reforms happen due to a change in equiptment and tactics that were adopted or adapted due to wars with Carthage and Celts.

-At least year 242
-Hold 2 of these cities (Segesta, Mediolanum, Patavium, Bononia)
-Hold 2 of these cities (Lilibeo, Messana, Syracuse)
OR
-Wait until 210BC
(You get the new units only after upgrading your MICs.)

The Problem is, there is a city missing from the requirements. Never had they owned Lilibeo nor Syracuse. The current year is 225BC.

So, obviously AI Romans get it easier or there's something broken.
