Critical modding question - CA?

What are the -exact- requirements for triggering the Marian reforms in 1.2? And, less importantly, are they hard-coded, or can we affect them?

I have heard various things about imperial palaces, cities on the Italian peninsula, and so on, but I was hoping someone could give me an exact, detailed answer about this.

Cheers,

I think there was mention of them in the v1.2 readme (I seem to have misplaced mine)...

AFAIK there are three conditions

- A Roman Faction has to build an Imperial Palace in a province with the Italy hidden resource
- They cannot occur before 220BC
- There is a "random element" meaning they won't strictly happen at 220BC even if you fulfil the criteria.

There might be a way around this by enabling the the trigger for the event of Marius in the event file, but that will not make it happen all that sooner if at all.

Thanks, guys.

I can't be bothered to make a new test, but as far as I know you can make new events and make that event a requirement for your techtree. From other posts I got that some modders didnnot know this, so perhaps it could help you out.

Can U really??

But I thought you couldn't make new historical events.....

Nice to see you still around DJ, but....
Bald? Skeleton?!?!?

That's certainly not widely known - either defining new events or making new requirements for the tech tree - further explanation is greatly desired.

Umm.. DJ, we'd really like to know how.

**Duke John** · 04-25-2005, 23:08

Hmmm, I really remember having units disabled until after an event happened. Now I did not make a new event (so forget that

), but I made one event happen after 2 turns and made it a prerequisite for units. I just made a test, but it gives an error: "Unexpected ". The event is causing troubles.

It really bugs me that I can remember having it work but now it doesn't... I guess it is better if you just forget about it until I have remembered how I did it.

Myrddraal, I have shaven off all my hair (no, I didn't my former avatar was also bald, but let me continue my little story) and I have locked myself up in a Buddhist monastery high in the mountains with the sole task of finishing Sengoku Jidai.
