[Official] Reform requirements - as at 2.3

[Cohors_Evocata]

In the case of the Saba, it says:

However, the conditions stated in the Faction Governments & Colonies thread suggests that in addition to having an FM outside of South Arabia (presumably not in a settlement neighbouring Maryab) I need to "create a strong kingdom" (whatever that means) and having 60% EI in Maryab.

Which set of conditions is correct?

The former, though it's missing the requirement that the settlement in question has to also have either a "'Adīm Malkān (Bondsmen of the king)" or "Mahrab Malkān (Royal Court)" government for the reform to trigger. Both of these require a certain level of EI to become available (40 and 60% respectively, the latter only buildable after the reform, but already present in Maryab), which can be attained through temples to Almuqah. Will update the OP to mention this.

So it needs to have <30 ETS as well as >40 EI. Are there any settlements that won't be counted - say, if Maryab satisfies those conditions, will I get the culture conversion?

There certainly are settlements that won't count - the script says "and DistanceCapital < 3". I'm not sure whether this means the settlement in question may not be three provinces or further away from the capital or three something else. Maryab should work and according to the experiences in the OP, so should Timna.

Maryab also doesn't need 40% EI specifically, since it already starts with the government it needs.

Hello everyone!

I got my hands on Koinon Hellenon but it seems like my save got problem. I couldn't get archons beside the strating ones (most of them dead) when I got to the reform step 4 to gather 4 in Korinthos. Meaning even with positive influence and clicking on them outside city and waiting a turn it wouldn't give them the trait (It worked on a quick restart campain with the guy in Rhodos so this is only my save i guess). Long story short I manage to console me a bunch of archon with the give_trait "this" SparteStateLeader and so on and they are gathered in Korinthos since 15 turns but it seems they are not discussing what they should be discussing as the next step doesn't trigger.

My question is the following: If I would be to try console me the next buildings for the reform would it trigger the reform? I saw there is some failsafe turn number (which are quite ahead of me): if the script doesn't work with the 4 archons, will the failsafe work or can the reform completely crash on a save? I suppose it is not advisable either to use console to get me closer to the reform turn failsafe.

Thanks a lot for the guide/help and game!

You don't actually need to send the Archons to Korinthos any more, just own Korinthos and have four StateLeaders. You should have had a popup as soon as those things were true - might you have missed it?

There's no way to console_command specific buildings, only hurry along construction. The failsafe will work if it has been broken somehow, but you'll be waiting til turn 300 for that one.

In my experience, the Archon traits seem to occur erratically. Some FMs never become Archons, despite being of the right ethnicity as governors, and being battle-hardened etc. Also, I never got more than three different kinds of Archons at the same time, and some of them were doppelgängers instead (had three Archontes ton Demou at one point, IIRC). Strangely enough, the reforms triggered regardless of all this. This was my experience both in 2.2r and in 2.3.

[Fregator]

I don't think I got the pop-up then, is it dismissable like the kretan and aetolian mercenaries? I hope I didn't reflex dismissed it but I don't think so. If I got the pop-up shouldn't I be able to build the buildings anyway?
I think I will have to wait until turn 300 then (if I have the courage).

Thanks QuintusSertorius!

[QuintusSertorius]

Yes, it's a dismiss-able popup like the mercs one.

The popup appears with the setting of the event_counter - the two don't happen separately.

[Fregator]

Is the event counter the nomber traking my status during the reform? Is it possible to reset it by console (something like set event_counter 3)?
Maybe I dismissed it with right click as I sometimes missclick my pop-ups. I remeber clearly the pop-up asking me to gather archons to discuss but I haven't opened the HE_KOINON_HELLENON_REFORM_BODY starting the Sympoliteia.

It is bordering on impossible to make those traits unique, unless they're FL-only, and quite a few of them aren't unique offices anyway. You just need four of them, doesn't matter which and in what combination.

Nothing you can do with the console, I'm afraid.

Anyone having issues with the Polybian reform? I'm running the second 2.3 campaign where I know I've fought enough battles to qualify for the reforms by turn 100* (one of my generals fighting in Africa is Africanus and has "seen the elephant"). Does killing stacks spawned by the Ligurian revolt not count?

Really scratching my head over this.

They have to be fought on the battlemap (not auto-calc'd - the counter it exports requires the battle engine) against an enemy of 12 or more units, either in Cisalpine Gaul (against anyone), or against Carthage (anywhere). You have to clock 4+ in Cisalpina and 5+ against Carthage.

[cowrecked]

Ah, that makes sense! I may have auto-calc'ed a few of the battles in cisalpine gaul. Thanks for clearing that up!

EDIT: That's not reflected in the OP. Can you update it to clear it up? Says it's 10+ units and there's no mention of auto-calc battles not counting

[Colos1987]

I never actually fulfilled the battle count version of the reform (not enough eligible enemy stacks).

But the 150 turn version should work, I had it about a month ago. Do you have the whole of Sicilia and Cisalpine Gaul?

[cowrecked]

Oh whoops, I meant by 100.

In previous campaigns in various 2.2 versions and prior, I'd had no problems getting reforms to trigger earlier.

So far in this current campaign I haven't taken all of sicilia and cisalpine gaul as I'm trying to follow a historical conquest timeline, but that's my next thing to test when I have time.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I think I had an issue with one of my 2.2r campaigns as well. This most recent Romani campaign is the one I'm most sure that I hit all the battle requirements on though.

[postm00v]

It would really help if you got a notice saying a battle qualified towards the reforms.

Hello, I’m having a problem with the Barcid Reform.

I have met all the requirements for the Barcid Reform except one, having a War Leader with the Barcid Trait. The problem is that NONE of my FMs have the Barcid trait. I have around 30 FMs now and most of my beginning characters have already died.
After looking through each character’s traits, I did not find anyone with the Barcid or Anti-Barcid trait (except for my old FL with the Anti-Barcid trait)

So, my question is how can I give a character the Barcid trait?
I have tried using the console commands “give_trait” but it hasn’t worked so far.

What would the correct way to type the Console command to give a character the Barcid trait?

[QuintusSertorius]

Take an FM, move them outside a settlement, leave them selected.

give_trait this Barcid

[(:Baktra:)]

Thanks, it worked great.

I wonder why my FM's aren't getting the trait on their own

[QuintusSertorius]

It should be triggered when they Come of Age or are married into the family.
