pontic late bodyguard trigger

[Callicles]

What is the trigger for the Pontic bodyguard cavalry changing from Kappadokians to Hellenes? I'm playing a game right now in 254, I only have Amaseia, but for some reason the bodyguard has changed already. I have never seen them change so early.

Thanks!

(I have tried to use the search function to find this information elsewhere, but with no luck).

I wasn't aware that it was the same trigger as the other reforms. I feel sheepish now. Thank you, and I apologize for asking a question which had such a simple answer.

Rome isn't required. Just upgrade one of these cities

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[*]Italy (regions which can trigger the March Of Time -- or was it Progress? -- which also requires the culture of the 'triggering' faction to be roman (?) )

I'm not sure if it will work with Roma, but Capua, Arretim, Ariminum or Arpi should work.

to huge and give it back to the Romani or let themself upgrade one of these cities.

you are right! i´ve forgotten that rome is only part of the requirements.

Callicles:
by the way, the march of time event don´t spot a infopost (only as romanoi - please correct me if i´m wrong)

similar to you: as hai, i just know that it happens, because of i saw the new bodyguards in a battle... and was glad to see them

Right, you don't get a reform info as for exampel KH or Mak, the new units (that both factions get with the MoT) are simply recruitable after the turn the Romans upgraded the city (or you upgraded it and gave it to them). So sometimes you don't notice that you already got them if you don't check your MICs.
