seleucid reforms

[lionhard]

I cant seem to triggor it! Iv had 2 nearly full stack battles and sent 1 generals bodygaurd to his death and its still not happend!

Any tips to triggor the reform? thx :)

Edit: oh and yes i did it against parthia, Does the opposing army have to contain cataphracts?

[Cute Wolf]

LOL, you could simply made him blew his trumpet before frontal charging pahlava line, let his bodyguard stuck, and then flee with only him alive...

[lionhard]

But i thought u have 2 let him die?

AH so u must let the bodygaurd die but not the general?

[Cute Wolf]

If they die... how could they got that traits... LOL

Yes of course, as CW said, who's getting the trait intrigued by cataphracts then?

I think a lot of these questions can be avoided if the EB team could expand their Seleucid reform description a bit.

Also, yes the enemy needs to have cataphracts on the field.

AFAIK it doesn't... The engine can't recognize cataprhracts; it can't tell the difference between cavalry

[Cute Wolf]

they must have "heavy cavalry" type (aside of their BG - which was missile cav for spahbade pahlavanig, spatahaura hadabara, and aeldry ayzamblade - the early bodyguards) - so even some kinda indo-saka heavy cav, or some hippeis mercenary is ironically enough for teh triggerz

The trait engine cannot, anyway. It's assumed that if the enemy army has a significant percentage of cavalry (10%? 20%?) there will be cataphracts present, and the general can get the trait.

That's easy. He gets the trait "Squashed by Cataphracts" instead.
