    Yeah, because in EB, each turn is 3 months/1 season, not 6 months like in vanilla.

    Also, if we were to do that, the conference of the title of dictator should have some sort of noticeable ingame effect - either all unit prices are cut in half for those two turns, or something of that nature. -M

    Because of the fact that it will take hours even days to search just an office especially used by a faction I am indecisive to use English titles or native titles:

    for example : unsure about what was the generalissimo of Parthians;


    George Rawlinson : The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 6. (of 7): Parthia

    There were probably several grades of rank among the nobles. The highest dignity in the kingdom, next to the Crown, was that of Surena, or "Field-Marshal;" and this position was hereditary in a particular family, which can have stood but a little below the royal house in wealth and consequence. The head of this noble house is stated to have at one time brought into the field as many as 10,000 retainers and slaves, of whom a thousand were heavy-armed. It was his right to place the diadem on the king's brow at his coronation. The other nobles lived for the most part on their domains, but took the field at the head of their retainers in case of war, and in peace sometimes served the offices of satrap, vizier, or royal councillor. The wealth of the class was great; its members were inclined to be turbulent, and, like the barons of the European kingdoms, acted as a constant check and counterpoise to the royal dignity.
    I thought that parthians used "Spahbod" or "Spehbod" for chief commander.

    Can't be done. Ancillaries in RTW can not be removed from a character via console or script.
    And I highly doubt that anyone will start giving that ancillary to another character just to be 'historically accurate'.
    This 'Dictator for Life' ancillary could be given to FactionLeader or some character with 7-10 Command and 10 Influence?

    Well, I never said it could be done. I just corrected Atraphoenix when he said that it would be a 1-turn ancillary (6 months), because EB runs on a 4-turns-per-year script.

    yep, 2 turns if you activate it
    If I strictly depend on historical corrections, my mod will be very restricted, mainly for Romani, so what is your ideas, historical but limited offices, no İmperator, Triumvirate or Dictator for Life e.g. or historical but mostly no Romani offices(as you know you cannot strip off offices in RTW engine because I mod ancillaries)?

    The only thing that disturbs me is that you have Legio XXI so early in the game. But I presume that it is just a test run and that when complete your mod will assign legion numbers in sequence (I, then II, then III, then ...), will it not?
    BTW, IIRC ExRM mod for RTR has rather well developed system of cursus honorum and legion-army ancillaries. You might want to check it for inspiration here.

    Good luck!
