Twas messing around and...

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I saved my game and then did process_cq many times in a bunch of settlements. At first it was to see what was recruitable, if anything, in some places.

First off, in many places there is nothing available to recruit with the first level native MIC, but then some stuff on the second and third tier. This is deceptive (that there is going to be nothing, ever), but that doesn't matter. What does is that the AI won't build the first tier if it is useless to them, and thus none of the the others later.

Second: As Romani there is nothing to recruit from any of the captured Karthaginian islands, at any tier. Including Baleric Slingers. Will there be something in the future or did the Romans never recruit local troops on the islands?

Also: I built all the buildings available in Roma (large_city), then added population and built the Imperial Palace. No new buildings were available for construction. I had only one level of smith (I understand there is a dislike of weapon upgrades, so I wasn't suprised), three levels of health (no more "water supply"?), two levels of arenas (3 counting game field), two levels of library, etc... , but the thing that suprised me the most was that I only had three levels of market. There is no large forums or "curia"?

Semi-unrelated question: What is the advantage of Latifundias, other than triggering the second reforms? They have population growth and negitive happiness, the two things I avoid the most.
