    So, is it correct to conclude this:

    Prolemey II did help Carthage in the start of the 1. punic war. After some time, Roman diplomacy made him to change his mind, so he refused to give loan/credit to Chartage (2000 talents, as i read in my book) when war was about to end?
    It would seem that way. Of course if both of our books have the correct information. Which book did you read?

    P.S. Sorry i made i typo. It was 246 bc not 264. my bad

    Alright, so did we find a mistake by the EB team then??

    If Ptolemaics did aid at the first part of the 1st Punic War, then the biography description is wrong:

    Picture showing the concerning biography (its said in the second part of the description):
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

    It's possible. But i'm not sure what sources EB used in this matter. It is indeed wierd that the description says that Ptolomy was allied to the Romans, but in game it does not show

    And that is exactly the reason why I put this question here!

    1- I'm not sure about the trade routes, some of them may have changed a bit during the versions but there shouldn't be a hole in the middle. IIRC, the Persian Royal Road went from Lydia to Susa at first, so that may be the cause. Though I had thought there was a building in game in Persepolis as well.
    4- The symbol is well known to be incorrect. Other symbols for the ruling dynasty have been looked for, but nothing has come up. The thought of using an early religious symbol was put forward, but the symbol of the later dynasty would be just as correct as a national banner as that would be.

    Thank you for the feedback MAA:

    1. About the routes:

    The Persian royal road loading screen shows from Sardis (Lydia) to Persepolis (Persis), that loading screen is quite old so it may be outdated, several web sources confirm that the route only goes from Sardis to Susa. So the route may be correct then.

    The Silk Road has the problem that the ending point has no Silk route "building". (according to the loading screen map the end point is Seleuceia).

    The Amber route's problem is not at the end nor at the beginning, in the city before the end point, Buridava, the Getic capital next to the Danube. No amber route building is to be found there.

    4. So it is already known to be incorrect, but there was no better symbol available... ok then, this symbol is closest to reality then.

    Also, does this thread belong here? Is this a main topic discussion or are the first 4 questions more bug related?

    Looking forward to new replies.
