Given the pace of changes now (I think we've shaken out most of the obvious bugs), I don't think we'll reach z before 2.3, but you never know.

[QuintusSertorius]

Changelog for 2.2o:

• Moved the garrison commander of Nertobriga to the actual location of the settlement.
• Another reworking of faction re-emergence, spawn moved back to the top.
• Corrected add_settlement_turmoil values.
• Put the unrest part of the Troublesome Regions script into a conditional IF statement - only applies when not Rebel-held.

I thought the reason it broke the game for me was because I'm on Linux. Don't know why you're concerned though.

Changelog for 2.2p:

• Libyan Infantry gain powerful_charge. Also updated their models - slight increase in armour.
• Revision to Celtic mercenary pools (removing levies). Revision to Hellenistic mercenary recruitment, ensuring proper transition of units over time.
• Slight shrinkage of polis pools and reduction in cavalry. Rebalance of helcol pools to feature more cavalry.
• Revised KH and polis-imitation governments in line with the above.
• Corrected eastcol conversion in Delta Neilou (gone).
• Revised "Core" recruitment in Seleukid and Baktrian Supervised Hellenic Admin governments.
• Link to the updated barbarian settlement files included in the installation instructions.

Changelog for 2.2q:

• Adjusted recruit_priority_offset for Trieres and Liburnes fleets, to reduce naval spam.
• Corrected kh7/kh8 which weren't updated last time.
• The Greek medium cavalry of the Nile Delta are Hippeis, rather than Xystophoroi.
• Corrected accidental bleed-over of Xystophoroi/Aspidiotai Hippeis in Bithynia.
• Removed trailing spaces from EDU and EDB - probably won't make a difference to most installations, but may aid the most fragile.
• Slight tweaks to neighbour and governor conversion rates - both lowered.
• Lowered the AI-switch thresholds, peaceability should come sooner for warlike factions.
• Adjusted numbers of elephants and chariots so there aren't mysteriously disappearing men when you start a battle.

Hello Everybody!

Playing my 2.2H version, I am now at turn 1140 ( 13-14 AD), playing with SPQR but I can't see any Augustea reform, is this correct? Furthemore, why the game seems like "die" after the Marian's reform ? I mean, no more news, no more triggers, no happening...is that a problem of mine or is normal?

Actually I do not understand even how to rule a big empire if you have to train all the governors in Rome, and it takes a long time to sende them out to provinces...and why there are not legions out of italy (or some auxilia in hiberia or gallia) and no archers...

Thanks

There aren't any yet. There's one unit the Augustan Reform will bring in, which hasn't been made yet (and probably won't for a while, it's low priority). Nor have we concepted the trait-related changes that it might bring. Again, because it's much lower priority than a host of other things that need doing for other factions.

Our focus is on the early- to mid-game that will get a lot more play right now. We'll get to the late-game when that's done.

You don't get legions outside of Italy, ever. With the Provinciae government, from the Marian reform onwards, you get auxiliaries. Some of those are equivalent units (eg Thorakitai from Greek settlements), others supporting troops.

Changelog for 2.2r:

• Ptolemaic mission now works, damned typo...
• Added Thebais to Troublesome Regions script.
• Rewrite of starting Carthaginian armies/garrisons.
• Adjustment to availability of British Noble Cavalry - increase in frequency after the CelticTwilight reform.
• Removed culture limits in the casse_mig so it's the same as the others.
• Kretan Archers now appear in the Roman Provinciae in Syria.
• Added a new building for nomadic/semi-nomadic factions: the Nomadic Enclave. It has no icons for now, but functions fine otherwise.
• Reduced morale of all cavalry units by 2 points (as per LusitanianWolf's submod - but not Client Rulers).
• Removed command from Roman Equites.
• Increased shield value of certain Iberian infantry units.
• Changed secondary weapon of Komatai Toxotai to match that of Komatai/Getikoi Hippotoxotai.
• Updated formations of Brigantinoi and Mezeugenoi.
• Removed loosest formation (2.7m x 2.7m). Tightened close order of Kretan Archers and Bosporan Heavy Archers.
• Reduced recruit_priority_offset for Trieres and Liburnes a little more.
• Decreased missile hit rate against elephants from 0.175 to 0.15.
• Added a series of "AntiTrait triggers" for a number of paired/antagonistic traits.

I test each and every one before releasing them; if it's not working for you, it's specific to your machine/configuration/installation. There are hundreds of people playing them just fine.
