Parthian Reforms

What exactly has to be done to get to those reforms that the Parthians supposedly get? Is there a certain date that this occurs or do I have to build some fancy structures or have certain family members acquire certain traits?

Build these bldgs in the required order, and you get access to a regular government structure almost like that of other civilized factions, with regular MICs and such.

Here is the map of where the reformed gov't can be built.

All of thers buildings are required for the gov't reform. This is the given build order because it guarantees that you won't inadvertently disable a building that you need. I'll expand the reasoning behind it a bit.

1.Military occupation. (must be built, required for gov't reform but not for pastoralism)
2.Migration (required for pastoralism)
3.Pastoralism (self explanatory)
4.Large Nomad Market (may be built any time before the reform, but is required)
5.Settled Community (may be upgraded beyond this level if you wish, but is capped and recruitment disabled by 'Advanced Settlement')
6.Elite Herds -> Warlords Horse Herds (must be built BEFORE reformed pastoralism, as reformed pastoralism disables the construction of Herds line buildings, also may be upgraded beyond this level, see Settled Community)
7.Reformed Pastoralism (self-explanatory)
8.Advanced Settlement (any time after ref. pastoralism-disables rec'tment from settlement line bldgs)
9.Settled Aristocracy (any time after ref. pastoralism-disables rec'tment from herds line bldgs)
10.Reformed Parthian Government. (required everything above)

It seems point 4 is somewhat redundant: to build reformed government you need Nomad Market only. Large one doesn't do any harm though
