Strat Map Questions

[Aemilius Paulus]

The odd thing is that the two Baktrian settlements are only Large Towns. I have something like 30 small, large and huge cities. As I have said, ten of the large and huge cities have all of the available buildings already built. Seems like building or having the most advanced buildings is not the criteria for the most advanced faction. Also, Baktria is quite poor. Saba is the richest faction in my current campaign I am talking about. The Sweboz have the strongest military after me. AS follows them. So it can't be money, military, or the combination of both.

I think the most advanced title goes to the faction who has the largest percentage of high-ranked buildings.

What I mean, is that although you have 10 extremely advanced cities, you have ten out of forty cities.

Baktria (or whoever you were mentioning, I apologize) may have two cities, but perhaps they're extremely advanced also, meaning they have two out of two cities extremely advanced. But that wouldn't explain why you're alternating with them. That's just my hypothesis.

[a completely inoffensive name]

I always assumed that the most advanced went to whoever had the highest overall score, which you could see in those charts that also compare you in separate categories such as population, wealth and military strength.
