I've been trying to make the Koinon Hellenon reforms work since building the third Hellenistic Metropolis at Thermon. I built the next building at Korinth, and am at the point where I gather four Archons at Korinth for a year.
A year has passed, and apparently my gathered FMs aren't good enough. They each have some vague trait to do with being an Archon - though some are a little dubious, suggesting in one case the leader of Rhodes' navy and a sort of Cretan demi-Archon which I don't think counts. So I need proper Archons - how do I get these? The stickied reform thread just says "battles" but I've fought over fifty so far with all my generals put together, and various FMs have led different armies in different times and places. But apparently this isn't enough.
Can anyone shine some light on this?
Also, possibly as an aside or, as I suspect, very much related: the random traits some FMs acquire mid-turn, which seem to occur simply when I click on a FM who (perhaps) doesn't already have one; are these Archon related? Because they seem to be, but if so then I've no idea how I've done it.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
