Which version and campaign are you using?

[Shadow Dragon]

I'm using XC4 Delta 1.1 and I'm playing the Macedonian campaign.

[Zarax]

It's been fixed in newer versions.

Does Iberia get any new units from the Marian reforms?

[Zarax]

They get cantabrian cavalry, available in northern spain.

A new test build is available: http://www.wmwiki.com/hosted/cv/xcfi...st03042011.exe

- improves playability as Parthia so now their recruitment is realistic
- fixes some glitches on the thracian models (no more inverted katanas in 1h units)
- Aramaean spearmen are now recruitable in Syria and Judea

A new test build is here: http://www.wmwiki.com/hosted/cv/xcfi...st16042011.exe

It fixes several small bugs.

Save-game compatible?

[Zarax]

Should be with the previous test build.

Is it just me, or does the Seleucid Empire always seems to do the opposite of what you'd want. For example, if I'm hoping for them to become the main power in the Middle East and keep the other factions in check, they get utterly destroyed by the Egyptians and other factions. But yet if your rooting for their enemies, then the Seleucids end up dominating.

[Zarax]

There's around a 50-50 chance with the seleucids, in any case in late game they get raped by EK.

Why?Is this intended to prevent a Grey Death?

[Shadow Dragon]

Why?Is this intended to prevent a Grey Death?

The Indian territories of the EK have a great economy, allowing them to build a big stack and attack the small Eastern cities of the Seleucids without much opposition.

[Zarax]

Not to mention trample any opposition with massed elefantry.

[Pinkie Pie]

Nah, their just bigger targets for us

Resupplying question: can you replenish your supplies in a ship or by standing for a 1 turn in your province(not in a city) ?

[Suppanut]

In ship = no
In your province = very slowly replenish

[Shadow_LT]

Would you consider making resupplying available in ships(as ships for many centuries were used as supply carriers) and faster resupplying in province(1/2 speed of resupplying in city) ?

I decided to play rome again after a few years, and having quickly got bored of vanilla and xgm (it was an old version which was more or less vanilla with some new units) got XC. I've got to say the depth of this mod is absolutely incredible compared to the original game, truly fantastic work. I started as Eygpt which is hard enough (not helped that I didn't know just standing near antioch without seige made the massive army appear ). All the various economy redesigns are very well thought through, and I haven't even looked into the family tree or how to manage it yet.

One question about the government system; in Thebes I'm fairly sure I built the various layers that take 4 then 8 turns to build (stationary garrison was the last one), but when it became a large city, the only thing I could build was military occupation which seemed odd as that is the most basic. Am I missing something or is that strange?
