    You can build a colony building in one of your settlements, the advisor is telling you that the conditions for having the colony building built are present.

    So scroll down through your settlements and see if you can build it - if not, you might have to build road garrisons.

    It's a building which you can build in one or more of your provinces. The adviser should say if there some requirements for it. At least with Romans you need to have a road garrison building in the province.

    EDIT. Slow as a snail.

    Only possible in settlements that are no hellenistic polis + you need a metropolis to start the colonists. So for example with Baktria you have to conquer a metropolis first.

    Really ?
    As Bosporos I was able to build "settler fronier posts" at my capital eventhough I had a polis there and I had no metropolis in any of my provinces.

    mnh don't know about bosporus, only faction I played that has colonist is Baktria and there you are told by description that you need a metropolis to start the colonists and it's true because I don't get the advisor notifications.

    Hmm maybe bosporus is different because it is stil colonized by other greeks and makedons?I don't really know if that was the case...

    Hah you tried Bospurus they are worse ,they don't even have elite hoplites but they actually get pikes when getting colonies.
    Oh and getting greeks to settle in greece is a bit weird they already live there

    By the way, Hellenic Metropolis can be found in only 5 cities: Corinth, Athens, Pergamon, Thermon and Alexandria. Thus, you will have hard time finding colonists when you play eastern greek factions (Baktria and Seleucid)

    Hmm I would still like to know:
    As Bosporos I was able to build "settler fronier posts" at my capital eventhough I had a polis there and I had no metropolis in any of my provinces.
    Why can I build colonists with Bosporos while only having a normal polis in my capital?
    In my last trun I could build a minor hellenistic polis in two of my provinces(both have roughly 50% Hellenistic culture)....but a turn later I couldn't build them anymore and they even vanished from the building roster.

    Only played as Rome, so far, and I've worked on learning the ins and outs of the colonization subgame. Here's what I've learned so far on that:

    1. For the first colonial "building", that province town will need to build the "strategic forts" (looks like blocky red buildings). Once that's built (or, sometimes, just in the front of the queue to be built), you'll get the option to add the first colony building to the queue.
    2. The second colony building is dependent on the "wayside garrisons". Those are the second in line of the forts. That building has to be either built or at the front of the build queue (sometimes, sometimes I has to be all the way built) before the second colony building comes available (looks like a white compound with interior courtyard).

    Colony options seem to start out, as Rome, shortly after turn 16, and then get popped again roughly every 16 turns after, as long as there's a town meeting requirements to receive a colony.

    I did a test last night and was able to control where the colonies became available.

    I did this by not building any strategic forts anywhere until after I had the second colony building started in Capua.
    Then I built the strategic forts and wayside garrisons in the town north west of Rome.
    After the second colony building was started in that town, I built the strategic forts and waysides in the town north east of Rome.
    Then, after the second colony building was started in that town, I did the same for Arpi.

    Once Arpi got the second colony building started, I destroyed the allied gov building in Taras and built the Roman civs there. Once Taras got to culture neg 45, colony became available there too.

    So does anybody know how it works for Kimerios Bosporos?

    Can other Hellenic Polis cities not eventually grow to Metropolis size and send out colonies? Shouldn't Syrakousai be on that list in any case?

    Well I could have build a minor polis(it just poped up and vanished next turn) ,so maybe it's possible to upgrade them.
