Pahlava reforms dead end?

[LordCurlyton]

That sounds right from what I can tell. I never bothered to deviate and see whether the L3 Market needed to be built at that spot and by the time you take a lot of the AS towns, especially their core ones, they'll already have a large enough market. Do be warned that the Pahlava actually have 6 build levels for market as once you make the reformed gov't you have to build the new Bazaar level market and then the last two. So Large Nomad market is more like Market Level 2.5.

If it's to any comfort, in EB2 this sort of mechanic is purely supposed to be a one-time matter like a reform-process. Once the Pahlavân are settled, that's it, they are settled, and the player won't need to go through this hassle again.

Post the building order and reform-map in the FAQ thread and give it a few moments.

That's good to hear. I always thought that would be the best way to do it. Have them build the "Settled/Becoming Parthian/whatever" building and it serves as a reform marker overhauling the Pahlava gov's to "civilized" ones.
