Pontic Basilike Patris disappearing

Evenin', gentlemen

I don't know if this is a known bug or not, as I couldn't find it neither on the manual or during a quick search here at the forum.

Right after I got the whole pontic reform event, I decided to build a Basilike Patris, the highest form of government, on my capital. Being the slowpoke that I am, I accidentally ordered it to be built in the wrong city, so I immediately had to cancel it.

However, after I canceled it, I wasn't able to build the Basilike Patris anywhere anymore. Even after I've built a Satrapeia in the province, the BP was unavailable. So, I loaded another save from a couple of turns before and tried to repeat it (build the BP and canceling it) to see if it was a regular bug.

Turns out it is. If you start building a Basilike Patris and cancels the building, you can't build another. So, be careful. And I don't know if this only happens with Pontus or not.

Furthermore, I couldn't find any province that allows me to build the "Hypobasileia" type of administration. In the manual it says it needs to be on a Royal City, but I don't know what that means.

And last but not least, if you build a "Strategos ton Philon" administration before the reform, you can't build a Satrapeia in the same province after it. I think this is intentional, but it's always good to let you know anyways.

As always, thank you very much for the mod, I'm having a load of fun.

Cheers

Yes, a known bug that we can't do anything about, unfortunately. Any building managed by a script (the same is true of colony buildings) and is cancelled is gone forever. It should re-calculate when you have more provinces, which might free it up again, I'm not sure.

The regional requirements for the Hypobasileia are:

Code: [View]

and hidden_resource royal_core and hidden_resource caucasus or hidden_resource eastern or hidden_resource anatolian or hidden_resource skythian

Meaning: Pergamon, Pantikapaion, Skythiapolis (after conversion), Nikaia, Kutatisi, Mtskheta, Ganzak, Antiocheia, Persepolis,

It also needs to be a city (ie 6000 households or more).

No, there is no upgrade path from Strategos ton Philon to Satrapeia. You'd have to go back to the precursor. I do think those paths need reviewing, you can go to a Basilike Patris direct from the precursor, which isn't right.

Thank you for the reply, Quintus
