Yes, you have to have the script on to get any of the reforms. In fact most of the game is held within the script so playing without it means you are not playing EB.

Couple of Romani questions:

When the Romani get the Polybian Reforms, can they still train Camillian units if they haven't upgraded to Polybian MICs?

If I control at least 90 territories during the Camillian Era (I own more than 90 territories in my current Romani campaign), do I advance to the Marian Military Era right after reaching the Polybian Reforms? After all, MarcusAureliusAntonius does say that there are two ways to attain the Marian reforms, 1. the first one with a certain kind of FM, certain date, as well as some other conditions and 2. the second one where you just have to own 90 territories with no other requirements.

So does this mean that right after the Polybian reforms (I am on the brink of them) I will immediately advance to the Marian Military Era? You don't have to upgrade your MICs to get Marian units, do you? Does this also mean that I will not really have time to train the Polybian units? Can you train Camillian units in the MArian Era if you haven't built the new MICs?

Sorry for asking so many questions, I am just rather confused right now.
I am a big fan of Camillian units, especially the Triarii, and I would rather not have the reforms. Marian units aren't bad either and I do sort of like them, but the Polybian units just seem like a downgrade compared to the Camillian soldiers. One last question: can you train Camillian units in one city and Marian in another if one city has the old MICs and another has the new ones?

What about this?

Anyone?

If you have 90 provinces then yes you'll get the Marians immediately after you get the Polybian.

Upgrading your computer can help. Increasing the amount of RAM can help, but I found upgrading my graphics card helped far more. You can also cut out the "client ruler" part of the script. Do a search for client rulers on this forum and you'll find details on how to do that.

When you reach the Polybian reforms you have to manually upgrade the barracks to set them up on the new "polybian track" of the barracks building complex. This is entirely voluntary and you don't have to do it upon reaching the polybian reforms (or you can do it some provinces and not others). If you are building new barracks from scratch after the polybian reforms then you won't be able to choose the "camillian track" of the barracks building complex, so only the polybian troops will be available in those provinces.

The Marian reforms work differently and once you hit them you will no longer be able to recruit camillian or polybian troops as those barracks will be constantly damaged by the script every turn. In their place Marian barracks are spawned to the appropriate level. You are meant to tear down the camillian/polybian barracks. So no you cannot recruit camillian troops alongside marian troops.

I have 1,5 GB Ram and GeForce 6600

**Foot** · 09-29-2008, 10:00

Hmm, I upgraded to the 6600 when I first started playing and that dropped my turn times down to a minute or so. You should also make sure you have no other background programs running while you play. You could also play at a lower resolution (if you are able to) and turn of campaign map shadows.

Hi,

didn't someone say a while back that you could delete the 'puppet rulers' section from the script and it would speed up the moves as long as you didnt use type 4 governments ?.... or something like that...

cheers,
