Colonies

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

I'm playing as Roma and its around 220 BC. My question is, do I have to wait for Marion before I can build higher end structures? I have built every building available in Roma and still no latifundia. I'm also unable to build anything greater than a library or a great forum. In other cities that I have conquered, however, like Carthage and Syracuse, these higher structures are available. Still no latifundia though.

You require the second level of basic farms before you can build anything more than the "Land Grant".

What's up with libraries? Is this tied to the Great Forum bug?

Ok. Sounds like I get what the Land Grant buildings do, but heres another question: If I cant afford the population growth due to unhappiness, does my army NEVER reform?

The Marian reforms don't happen until c170BC. Unless you are nearing that point and want the reforms, you can just wait until then to build the Latifundias.

Why does Carthage have a bigger growth bonus with industrialized farming then the rest of the factions? (Was it suppost to be Ptolemai?)

Why does the granary give a negative trade bonus? Storing grain, so less to sell?
