Yes, though past turn 64 you won't get any notifications. You should get polis/colony buildings in your building browser, though.

Thank you for your answer, didn't knew about the limit on the notifications. I started the game just to check if something was missing and now I do have colonies and polis buildings in many of my settlements that weren't there before. Maybe something stopped the script and prevented them from appearing during my last time playing?

PS: Went to check out the eb.system.log.txt and there are some errors:

Theres the last lines from it:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

And the full log eb.system.log.txt
It only seems to have entries from today where I just started the game to check it out (din't properly played) dunno if the errors are related. Next time I play I will pay more attention to it.

There's absolutely nothing unusual in that log. You can ignore all those EDB errors, they're false positives creating by buildings having more than one upgrade path.

Ok, today I just started the game to check if I was missing anything, since I was expecting to see the colonists pop-ups. But I will start paying attention to the logs while I play.

Btw, I've reached turn 300 on my Baktrian campaign, any feedback you need in particular from the late game?

The minimap is always useful to see. Anything unusual you've seen so far, big shifts caused by re-emergence or hording, that sort of thing.

Can someone explain to me why my praetors are not getting province ancillaries? I have the province building built and when I put a praetor as governor nothing happens. Is something broken?

Quixk question for anyone:

Playing as Makedonia, I captured Kyrene from the Ptolemies. It has a Greek polis, but I am only able to build a foreign military garrison, not the Hellenistic colony. Is this a distance thing? I do have colony points as I am able to build in other places, just not in this one for some reason. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The limitation will be the government you can put there. You need at least a Hellenic Admin to put a colony there.

Great, thank. That would be it! Now the player guide makes more sense to me.

Hm, I'm a bit confused with the Aedes Negotiatorum building line. Somehow it only very rarely and just sometimes shows that it converts culture. Why is this? Shouldn't it always convert culture (Yeah I know, up to some threshhold. But I even get this with settlements having only a few percent culture)?

**Colos1987** · September 04, 2020, 12:33 AM

Maybe there is something else, converjng to a foreign culture? Like Nomadic Enclave or Hellenistic Colony?

**Mantaprey** · April 24, 2021, 07:26 PM

I have updated the guide to 2.35A R2.

Culture conversion only happens once a year (every 4 turns) in winter I think.

Correct, the conversion capability only shows up on the building card in winter, when it actually happens.

I am playing Makedonia on 2.35A. I have achieved Imperial Antigonidai. Is there a hidden resource that allows you to build Basilike Patris only in certain regions? If so, does anyone have a list of the provinces which it can be built in?

hellen1, greek1 or royal_core.

**Dachanto** · September 22, 2022, 08:01 PM

Well I guess that rules out building a Basilike Patris in Ipsos.

Many thanks for the response QuintusSertorius!

So a quick followup question on your clarifications regarding Carthaginian governments. I just started a campaign in 2.4a and haven't hit the first reform yet. In Iberia I can build the first tier of government and trade colony. But after that no further governments show up in the building tree. I presume that means I need to wait for the reform to build them? Also, in Iberia I can build trade colonies but not settler colonies. Are they also locked behind the reform(s)?

**Zrk2** · June 18, 2024, 09:11 AM

I figured it out. They don't show up in the building tree but are still constructable.

Since that campaign has bogged down (can't decide if invading Greece is worth it) I'm thinking about starting a Rome campaign. Can Rome increase the number of colonists it generates?

It's far more enjoyable with the new updates, also the AI doesn't have colony points so it can build how many polis and colonies it likes...Hence, it's begging to be exploited, so use Seleucia for your benefit when capturing their territories and when.Last but not least, based on your name you should join the team that writes scripts to focus on revamping the Lusitanian faction my Portuguese mate ;p!
