Potential Reformator?

**Consulo** · January 27, 2011, 06:24 PM

Hullo everyone! Here's my question: I am playing as the Romani and one of my family members has gained the trait "potential reformator". Is this for the Marian Reforms? And if so, I'm not even at year 172 B.C. and nowhere close to having 90 provinces. Can someone explain this? Will it happen anyway or what? He's 44 years old and its in the 220's B.C. right now. I'm going to play it out, but I'm just confused on how this is working.

If you can keep him alive until 172 he could be your Reformator. Fifty years is a long shot, though.

I think there should be a cheat for him. No one in RTW or any of its mod could live for more than 90 years

Actually, the hardcoded limit is 128.

=.= ya but the rate increases as he reaches 60-70.

Rate of what? And I've personally had many generals that lived to their 80s.

hm rate of chances of dying a natural death?

**wiande** · February 03, 2011, 05:45 PM

my record is around 90 (88 or something)
But my general mostly died of natural causes btw 58 and 65 years old.

My oldest living general was 106 when he died. It was in XGM, most of my generals in EB live to between 75-85 but i don't really keep track since with 4tpy script a man who lives to 70 will have had roughly 220 turns which is a lot of time compared to 1tpy. I like that since it means a 50yo is no longer useless as he likely has over 40 turns before he dies, though in EB it is nice that the older men get frail and worse at campaigning.

As to the original question i would have to say the best bet is have everything ready for 172, and if he lives then it's good if not you'll still have a chance to use the next guy. 94 is rather old, if there are any ancillaries that increase lifespan i'd give them to him, other then that just hope for the best.

Well thanks for the info. Sadly enough the Ptolemies went and killed him in a battle. I auto-resolved it because it was really minor. Somehow though he was a casualty. Now I'm trying to get another person that carries the same traits. Rather hard though. :\ I've got about 20 years now until the reform date. Might just take over Gaul and see where that gets me in respect to just brute forcing it with 90 provinces.

hmmm, my year is 243bc (just got polybian reforms), and I already got potential reformator... and he's already 48 ^^. Guess i'll wait for another one then.
