Pahlava 220BC and Several Issues ...

[King Philip II]

well, does anyone know how to either edit a L5 MIC into a town or edit Grivpanar to be recruitable in MIC L4 ...

Open export_descr_building.txt and go to the entry royal_barracks_C1 (line #11549) - delete "and building_present_min_level government gov1".

In the curent condition it looks like semiplayable

I've had a great Pahlava campaign so far, but I must admit that the path to the Reformed Parthian government is a little too cumbersome for me. It's probably something like 40+ turns of ongoing building, before you can recruit a simple skirmisher and none of the buildings provide any economic benefits.

Yeah I've had a pretty good Pahlava campaign too King Phillip II. I'm only the Levantine coast, Asia Minor and some sh!tehole steppe town away from complete victory, now its time to kill me a lot of backstabbing Helleno-Egyptian sisterf**k@rs lol

my answer to the recruitment problem...even with a gov't level 1 you are allowed a L1 regional barracks...some settlements are set to let you recruit eastern units locally (sounds cheesy...but ya do what you have to), and use the warlords herds to crank out HA's until you get the settled aristocracy built

but what I really wanted to ask was if EDB changes are savegame compatible or not, and if by chance you know the 'internal' gov't level that the Parthian Reformed Gov't is ranked at (we know it ain't 1, but is it a L2?...that would make sense because all the regions I have it built in are homeland or expansion.)

It is save game compatible.

The levels of government are ranked as follows:

building government
{
levels
gov_feeder
govnomad -> Parthian Vassal Kingdom
gov4
gov3
gov2
govparthian -> Reformed Parthian
gov1

@ King Philip II, thanks for the tips, so when i edit i just have to delete the gov1 tag, sounds easy enough

I wouldn't call it a fix, but I have removed the requirement for the "Pahlava Home" hidden resource tag from the buildings required for Parthian Reformed Government. For this to be balanced, I only create the reformed government in regions where Pahlave expanded historically.

To do this, just remove "and hidden_resource pahlavahome" from reformed pastoralism, settled arisocracy and advanced settlement.

In addition, I also removed the "and not mixed" from the requirement for Parthian Vassal Kingdom, as I don't like to be restricted in where I create client kingdoms. For example, the settlement of Apameia is the closest place where you can recruit Heavy Persian Archers, but since it's a "mixed" settlement (not sure this is correct btw), you'll not be able to recruit regional troops beyon regional MIC level 1, hence, it's incorrect when the Recruitment Viewer is displaying these regional troops as available to Pahlava.

We've corrected the inability of Parthia to build the factional MIC5. The fix is here where you can download the correct EDB.
However, the solution is similar to the one posted by King Philip II previously, so if you already solved the issue, you don't need to get the new EDB.

Could You provide a list of TRUE pahlava Homeland regions as addition for me, plz?

p.s. I wonder what the purpose of 'Homeland' city resource for Pahlava? And why it not determine 'reformed goverment' area?
