[Imperator of Rome]

4. What are the different cities functions.
a. The military city: these cities produce the highest upgrades for a factions army. Also most of the time these cities produce the finest armour and weapons. A war harbour can be built at this city. The iron resource icon represents this city as a military site.
b. The economic city: theses cites produce the highest upgrades for a factions economy. Also they have a two tier forts that allow them to recruit foederati and mercenary troops. A commerce harbor can be built at this city. No iron icon resource means it is an economic city.
c. The capital city: these cities produce the highest upgrades for a factions army and economy Also trading merchandise is enhanced bringing in more revenue compared to other cities. A war harbor or a commerce harbor can be built: includes the choice between the commercial port and the war harbor as its fully upgraded port. This city is always represented by the iron and the grain resource.


How to change military cities to economic cities and vice versa:
For Economic city:

I just got confused with the usage of Capital city which could mean two things.
1.Famous cities like Carthage,Roma,Ravenna
2.Just the capital in Bi
I now understand it is option 2.

Just to add a bit here. Certain capitals do flourish more than others. Carthage will have more grain production than Ravenna
Burdigala you will find a huge production of wine, Constantinople you will find probably the biggest economic capital city. In this regard you will find differences and even one capital economically superior over another
