Upgrading forum in Rome?

**Redigo** · 12-18-2006, 18:33

I'm around 235BC in a Romani campaign, and my options for buildings in Rome and the core Italian cities are getting thin. I can't upgrade from a forum to a great forum, which means I can't build past the second-level school. That may cut off other building options as well, but I'm not sure.

Annoyingly, several conquered cities (Massilia comes to mind) have a great forum. Am I missing some prerequisite here? (I can't check because it's not in the building browser.)

If i remember correctly, you need the gov type 2 to build the great forum (thats
why you can build it in Massalia, i guess).

Are you sure you have a covernment I type there? There should be one there by default, but better check.

I would expect that would be because the conquered cities are larger than the Italian ones. You'll have to wait to upgrade the government building.

Please refer to this thread.

Ah, that explains it. I thought I had done my due diligence with the search function; not sure how I missed that. Thanks for the pointer!

If you don't want to wait for the patch, you can very easily fix it - it is just removing a "not" in one text file. That link should provde the directions.

since he is running out of buildings already in 235 as the Romans, I probably would around that time as well but havent played as the romani yet, are there any plans to add more buildings or extend the building time, etc?

A lot of buildings require the great_forum to be built first. Fixing that little error will allow the building of something like four more building trees.
