Marian Reform

**Mandvadin** · May 18, 2009, 10:43 AM

I am currently playing as the Greek Cities and Rome declared war on me pretty early on. Well, I have conquered all of Italy and I was wondering if the Marian reforms will ever trigger?

I think I am on year 224 bc

If the Romans are dead, then no, the reforms can't trigger. If they are still alive you could give them one of your huge Italian cities other than Rome to trigger the reforms.

Ok, cool. If I give them a huge city the reform will trigger. Do I have to wait for them to build anything or will it be instant?

**Dog Fart** · May 18, 2009, 01:38 PM

No, just the city. All they need is another Italian city for the trigger.

**CaesarVincens** · May 18, 2009, 02:02 PM

Yeah, give them the city and end the turn.

A relevant question for the GCS: After the reform, I think that GCS receive Perioikoi Phalangites as a reform unit. Does that mean that there are no longer perioikoi hoplites available? Because I love them, they are the best unit available, after of course the SRG.

Yes, but all it takes is a minor edit to the EDB to change that.

Perioici Hoplites are no longer available after the Marian reforms.

I assume Spartan198 is talking about editing the line(s) in xgm\Data\export_descr_buildings.txt

recruit "greek hoplite spartan perioici" 0 requires factions { greek_cities, romans_brutii, } and hidden_resource sparta and not marian_reforms

and changing them to:

recruit "greek hoplite spartan perioici" 0 requires factions { greek_cities, romans_brutii, } and hidden_resource sparta

That way, Perioici Hoplites will still be available after the Marian reforms, along with Perioici Phalangites.

Thank you very much Lobo!
