Pahlava Expansion Question

[george585]

Actually not, I had the same issue in Gava Maszakata in my Pahlavi campaign (217bc), a city I held for very long before losing it to the Sakae and taking it back... I could just train Dahae skirmishers and Pahlava Shirhvatir. But now I can train dahae horse archers and soon alan nobles and Dahae nobles too.... Odd stuff, indeed...

You did not tell us the year you reached in your campaign.... I go slow pace, pacify slowly and have no major unrest problems.

Oh, well one of those was taken from Saka, the other from Euletheroi. But the situation is the same in both... only basic HAs. The ytear I reached 35 settlements wasa around 230 BC.

You grew up too fast and now you're stuck in underdeveloppement! To compare, I hold 16 provinces in 217 BC, have an income of about 48000 mnai and compulsory spendings of 36000 (wages, upkeep and corruption), with 3 full stacks (to fight the Seleucids) and a half (to keep a stalemate with the Sakae). My provinces are overdevelopped, I'm a bit proud of it, but my strategy was maybe not the best, now I'm facing Seleucid stacks south of the Caspian, with many Kataphraktoi, Argyraspidai and Thorakitai argyraspidai. Hard times.


When I took back Gava Maszakata from the Sakae, my government building (allied state) had to be repaired, but there was no harm done to the migration and nomadic 'buildings'. Maybe Gov.'s 'destruction' was the cause of my ability to train locals now that I have built 'clanic' buildings. I don't know... Anyway you should indeed build migration, nomadism and recruitment 'camps'.

I guess I grew to fast. But on the other hand... now it's around 220 BC and AS is nearly destroyed... have only 3 cities left or so... and no Baktria and Saka to worry about.... (always nice to be on the edge of the map with no emerging factions :) And by now my economy is slowly bceomming better. Still I am not even thinking of building level 2 mines and any other expensive buildings.

Fortunately for me too, I was the only one with Kataphraktoi, never saw a single unit of it in AS.
