    Default AI faction governments

    as far as I know Government buildings for AI factions are places via script and thus I fancied that this follows a distinct pattern rather than random placement. to be blunt checking AI government types is nothing you could catch me doing most of the time. But now my Pajami Pahlavi are fighting a pointless desert war against the sabeans and one of my spies has ventured forth to Tamane(right next to their capital Maryab).
    so he was just minding his buisness and let me read building discriptions of local festivals when i noteced the theatre like icon with a little 4 in the upper right corner could it be? a level 4 government in like the first conquered city?

    as the gov was placed by script i doubt it would be installed due to low cost, but why do/did the sabeans get a level 4 gov in Tamane? are there historic reasons or is my idea of scripted gov placement wrong?

    Ps this is not at all a request/plea for another government just a question why the Sabeans have this level 4 there.

    thanks in adance.

    That'd be pretty bizarre, actually. As far as I can tell, the script always places the lowest-number available government for the AI (I never see lvl 4 governments). Some eleutheroi towns have government buildings, though. Maybe Tamane has a government building as an eleutheroi town at the start of the game which doesn't get destroyed when the Saba take the city because its already their culture and the game thinks its a Saba building?

    hmmm all I can say is that I doubt it's intentional.

    I conquered Seleukia as Hai in my latest campaign during a daring raid deep into enemy territory and razed their troop producing centers and government to the ground. What did they rebuild in a city which gives them some amazing factional recruitment options? A level 4 government...

    Now they swarm up with Arabian slingers and Parthian spearmen instead of Thorakitai and Argyraspidai.
