It is a mystery, is it not? I appreciate learning that I am not the only one who is puzzled by this. If you do learn to unlock the Golden doors, I will be happy to learn how it is done.
I also want to thank you for your good advice in another thread about the fun of playing these tiny nations. Starting out with an almost worthless desert province, and using the events to build up, and to strike when you see the chance, is really a lot of fun, and different from any game I have played.
Currently, I just made peace with Palmyra, which had driven the Seleucids out of Syria and Phoenicia, and then attacked me. I took Phoenicia and most of Syria from them, to add to Nabatea and Palestina, which I already had. I have a stable theocracy. But things are not as great as they seem. I have only two decent leaders left, plus a total zero, and my two decent leaders are in their sixties. If Palmyra strikes when I have no decent leaders, i am sure that I can defeat them. And, if Egypt, which sent me a message saying that they should join the Palmarines against me when Palmyra first declared war, attacks at the same time, I do not see how I can beat both of them at once, especially with no decent leaders. And my army is too big for my manpower, so I can only support all of it by using an event to buy extra manpower. And Syria is very poorly developed, maybe because I am now its fourth owner, as it has been quite a battleground.
This makes for a very interesting situation, and a challenging one.
