How do you construct the center of power in Armavir as Hayastan?

[ArmavirConfusion]

There's a requirement on the center of power building in Armavir that you unlock as Hayastan after the first reform which states that 20% of the culture there must be Eastern Imperial. I assumed that the reform would change you to Eastern Imperial to convert to 20%, but the imperial % is going down in favor of Eastern Tribal every year. I can't find the 20% requirement in the player guide (only a requirement for the next level of the building), which confuses me even further.

How do I construct the center of power? I've considered two options, and neither of them seem particularly great: 1.) wait until I hit the second reform, which should convert my culture to Eastern Imperial, and then wait for Armavir to be converted 2.) destroy the current government building in Armavir, build a strategic hai instead, and then upgrade that to the next level, wait until it converts Armavir (I think it converts to 35% Eastern Imperial. Is that right?), tear it down, and then rebuild the original structure to then upgrade to a center of power. Option 1 would take a long time, and I'm not sure if option 2 would actually work. Is there something simple that I'm missing? What is the fastest way to get the center of power building built?

Ok, to address your query:

• To get to the 20% EI required, you need to build at least the 1st level of foreign military colony to have the conversion needed to get to 20% EI so that you can build the Seat of Power in Armavir.

Pretty much before the Imperial reform the only way is to build the Foreign Military Colonies buildings line so Phrourioi Laon building etc...After the reform the Satrapy(Metz) government gives up to 35% Imperial conversion and the ones to Armavir give 60 and 80% respectively...So the fastest way build foreign military colony and reach the reform as fast as possible...
