How works the dating system?
as reported by manual, "the dating system in DBM follows the Varro system by placing the 753 BC (Rome foundation) as year 0. so the start date of DBM will be the 513 AUC (At urbe condita) ie the 240 BC.
To get the year in Anno Domini:
Year AD/BC = Year AUC - 753
Year AUC = Year AD/BC + 753
What conditions it is necessary to satisfy to receive reforms to Romans, Greeks and August?
Hellenistic reform 151 bc = 603 AUC
Marian reform 108 bc = 645 AUC
August 31 bc = 722 AUC
How works the oracles?
Their existence is linked to the presence of a sanctuary in ehich the oracle is set: as long as this building will exist there will always be a sibyl.
if you own a settlement with a shrine of the oracle, you will receive some missions in form of ORACULAR RESPONSES TO INTERPRET.
Even if you don't possess these settlement, bringing a character of yours to a sibyl, make you receive mission response.
these missions are only valid for the greek and roman factions.
If you fail a sibyl mission, you will be affected by earthquake, famine o plagues.
CTD at pontifex election
I fought against SPQR, I conquered Rome , The next turn, I'm asked to vote for a new "Pontifex". When that's done, the game has a CTD.
This is a bug that we'll fix in the next patch. meantime, you can bypass it avoiding to conquest all spqr city or returning a city to SPQR if them has lost all of their city..
