can't get the seleukia reforms...

[Constantine the Great]

Ah, forget my last post, I see the precursor building comes with the reform now.

There is a way to cheat for the reform, if you'll give 2 of your FMs the ImpressedByCats trait you'll have your cataphracts 20 turns later. I tested it, worked fine, I had cataphracts in 267.

ImpressedByCats? Are you serious?

[bovi]

Yes. Cats = Cataphracts.

Thanx for the info but i got the reform... it was quite sudden.... no trait's on any of my generals, just looked in antioch and there they were... I did loose 2 battles in the same AI turn, but both of my generals died on that occasion. Perhaps they got the trait for a second and the reforms happend?

I'm just glad i have the Cata's now. Even though i play on VH/VH i crushed a ptoly general who had 73 bodyguards with them alone... They RULE!!!

BeatenByCats is another such trait. And SeleukidsDevelopCats too, IIRC.

Yes. Cats = Cataphracts.

Ah, for some reason I thought felines.

SeleukidsDevelopCats didn't seem to work with give_trait, ImpressedByCats did. Haven't tested BeatenByCats.

Sure, Cats. These furry little creatures that make you wish you had some heavy armoured cavalry around ;-).
