This thread is for seasonal summaries of in-game events by the Chancellor and Basileus, and reports by the Strategos' on actions they have taken with the saved game.

Other than the Chancellor and Basileus, Strategoi should only post in this thread to say they are taking the save, to upload a new save, and to report whatever actions they have taken with the save.

Chancellor Report, Spring 272BC

There are no important news at this moment.

Our most eastern settlements near Saka and Baktrian borders are rioting. More than 600 people have died in those riots.

People in Hekatompylos are planning to rebel against our rule. Our newly pointed Satrap there should lower the taxes and hope for the best.

We are allied with Baktria, Hayasdan, Pahlava, Pontos and Makedonia. I have received letters that the first three actually are trying to brake their alliance with us and that they have already made such preparations.

Changed taxes in Sardis to very high, but left everything else as is. Note that Pontos has entered Kappadokia with an army. Do they have military access through our lands? Is this a belligerent move on their part?

Basileus and Chancellor Report, Summer 272

I used units from Ipsos and Sardis to create Lydian Army. They are stationed between those two towns under Captain Polianthes. They need two more units to be in their required strength. Theodotas Termessou Pisidikes should take command over them and build a fort there so I could send the rest of the units there in winter later this year.

Syrian Army has been recruited and are stationed north of Damaskos under Captain Timon. Aratos Arethousas Syriakes should move from Mazaka to Syria so he could take command over the army.

Kleronomous Basileion' Royal Army shall be gathered near Ekbatana where Theodoros Syriakos resides. His army is under Captain Omanes' command.

Parthian Army shall be gathered to Antiocheia-Margiane. I have sent some units from Prophthasia and Alexandreia-Ariana north. They should arrive to Margiane either spring or summen next year. They are commanded by Captain Hermogenes.

I have recruited some units to my Royal Army from Mesopotamian cities. They are commanded by Captain Dion at the moment.

Sent those 2 units that were with Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes back to Susa.

No Satraps Armies were recruited or have I started construction of any buildings since we don't have enough money.

Set the tax level to maximum in all cities

More serious news. Civil Revolts in Marakanda and Alexandreia-Eschate have thrown our garrisons out of the towns. Those garrisons were merged and are moving towards Antiocheia-Margiane.

There is a man of great potential in Antiocheia. The benefactor of that man is Achaios Syriakos. It's his decision whether he accept that man into his family or not.

Basileus Report, Autumn 272

Although it is said in the 'Rules' that Royal Armies have the priority over everything else I have allowed Regular Armies to be completed before the Royal Armies. The reason is that it would be logistically impossible to get those units from all corners of the Arche to get together for a royal Army. So I have recruited units for them only in Mesopotamia and surrounding towns.

Now, I am proud to say that Syrian Army and Lydian Army have been completed!
The First Syrian Army
4 Pantodapoi Phalangitai
Peltastai
Sphendonetai
Prodromoi
Hippakontistai

The First Lydian Army
3 Pantodapoi Phalangitai
Peltastai
Akontistai
2 Hippakontistai
Thureophoroi

The Commanders should keep the list in their SOT and after every battle they should mention whether they need replacement or retraining.

Parthian Army is almost finished. It needs just 2 more units to be in the required minimal strength.
Current units in Parthian Army: 1 Pantodapoi Phalangitai and 1 Persian Archer in Margaine; 1 Persian Archer-Spearmen unit under Captain Aribazos north of Margiane; 1 Pantodapoi Phalangitai, Arachosian Skirmisher Cavalry and 1 Madian Medium Cavalry under Captain Hermogenes south of Margiane.

My Royal Army have the following units at the moment: 2 Pandotapoi Phalangitai, 1 Shipri Tukul, 2 Eastern Slinger, 1 Toxotai, 1 Prodromoi.

My Heirs Royal Army have following units: 1 Persian Archer unit, 2 Pantodapoi Phalangitai and Eastern Slinger unit in Susa.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chancellor Report, Autumn 272

Our diplomats have done some good work. They made a peace with Saka Rauka and signed trade rights agreement with them. We also sold them map information for 2500 mnai.
Another diplomat renewed our alliance with Baktria and we promised to help them against some Eleutheroi for their map information.
Since we lack the proper funds to build anything then no buildings have been constructed. How ever we did repaired the barracks in Hekatompylos since it didn't cost that much and we couldn't spend money to anywhere else.

Current treasure: 9630 mnai.

Basileus and Chancellor Reports, Winter 272

Moved my Royal Army west. It should get to Syria in the next 6-9 months(2-3turns).
Recruited missing infantry units to my Royal Army.

Syrian Army is near the Antiocheia-Tarsos border. Aratos Arethousas Syriakes can move them the way he wants.

As a punishment to Andromachos Syriakos I destroyed Pasargadai. It gave 2000 mnai to the treasure thus almost compensating the cost of those watchtowers.

I would like to have the permission to recruit 5 Pantodapoi Phalangitai and 1 Hippakontistai in Persepolis to the Satraps Army. I would also like if Andromachos Syriakos could count Eastern Slinger and Eastern Skirmisher units from Karmana as part of his Satraps Army.

Made Sarpedon Syriakos as my Heir. I will recruit units to his Royal Army while they are moving west.

Other news..

Made peace with Koinon Hellenon. We gave them trade rights and sold them map information for 2000 mnai.

Epirotes have conquered Pella from the Makedonians.

Antiochos Syriakos is taking part of the Babylonian New Years Festival.

OOC: Transfered the Satrapies ancillaries to Sarpedon. Unfortunately I made a mistake and transfered the Parthava ancillary to Lykikos and not to Lydikes. could someone fix that. I allow to use console for that. The right line would be this: give_ancillary "Phanias Laodikeiaslydikes" "satrapy_of_parthaya". Whoever going to do this should remove the ancillary from Polyxenidos Lykikos first. The right line for that would be remove_ancillary "Polyxenidos Lykikos" "satrapy_of_parthaya"

Chancellor/Basileus Report, Summer 271

This year start with good news. Phanias Laodikeias Lydikes, Satrap of Parthaya, have been accepted to the Royal Family after his last battle against some brigands between the Ekbatana-Apameia road. His benefactor is Achaios Syriakos.

OOC: Roka have computer problems. Since Lydikes have a player and is not some random AI offered general then I accepted this.

I moved the units that are supposed to be part of Sarpedon Syriakos' Royal Army under command of Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes so that he could destroy Rebel force near him. If he have done that he can escort those units towards Antiocheia if he want. If not then he must leave those units where they are after the battle.

OOC: I also transferred Herbalist ancillary from Theodoros Syriakos to Timarchos just as 00jebus asked.

My Royal Army is under command of Captain Anaximbrotos. Attalos Pergamou Mysiakes is expected to take Command over them in this season. He can then proceed against Sidon. Spy have been positioned west of the city. At the moment there are just 3 units in garrison(Pandotapoi Phalangitai, Ioudaoi Taxeis and a unit who the spy were not able to identify)

Also, there is a small Ptolemaioi Army under command of Captain Stephanos south of Antiocheia. We suspect that they will go to Sidon.

I have sent the Parthian Army list to Bithys N. Parthiakes. Two units of Pantodapoi Phalangitai are still on their way to Margiane. They have to move across the Satrapy of Hekatompylos so I ask that Lydikes would allowed me to move them across the Satrapy myself.

Admiral Leon is near Side. I allow Aratos A. Syriakes to move them near Tarsos and use the fleet to go to Cyprus. If that is done then move the fleet to the nearest port(That would be Tarsos' port).

Pontic Heir, Ariobarzanes Kianos, is north of Ipsos. I assume he plan to go against Nikaia. If not and they attack Ipsos then Lydian Army have to leave Side and go to defend Ipsos.

Another news from the known world..

In west, Romanoi barbarians have made peace with the Arverni barbarians. Should we be concerned hearing such news?

Our last enemy, Ptolemaioi, is the strongest 'faction' in the known world. But looks like they are having some financial problems 'cause we've heard that they are bankrupt.

OOC: I killed Epigenes Alexandrias Troikes since YLC left the game.

Chancellor/Basileus Report, Winter 271

Moved 2 Pantodapoi Phalangitai towards Margiane. They are currently under Captain Lasthenes' command and are stationed south of Hekatompylos. Once they arrive the First Parthian Army would be completed. Since they are on the lands of Pathavan Satrapy then I ask the Satrap to move them towards their target and not seize them as part of his Army. I will start recruiting units to his Army as soon as possible.

Other news..

Nikaia is under siege by Pontus. Looks like we might deal with them soon or they will become too strong!

One of the diplomat from As'Sab'yn wal'Jau made contact with our magistrates. We have signed alliance with them. Also we got and gave trade rights. We also sold them map information for 500 mnai and their map information. We hope this alliance can distract Ptolemaioi a bit.

Talking about Ptolemaioi.. People say that successors of Ptolemaios are the Strongest in the known world. What a silly thing to say!

Also in 6 settlements the peoples loyalty is described as 'disillusioned'.

Basileus/Chancellor Report, Spring 270

First of all I must say that I can not recruit the requested cavalry unit, Asiatikoi Hippakontistai, for Sarpedon Syriakos' Royal Army since we don't have the proper training facilities to do that. Also Prodromoi unit is in Antiocheia and Sarpedon have the right to move them into his army. Also Captain Alexis and his Ioudaioi Taxeis unit are part of his army too and can be merged with it.

I disbanded that depleted unit of Slingers in Damaskos.

Moved Panaitolos Ankyrikos towards Side just as he requested.

Some other news..

We are allied to Romanoi in the west. We also have trade rights and we sold them map information for 1500 mnai.

We also exchanged map information and trade rights with the distant steppe barbarians called Sauromatae.

'Destroyed' the government type in Hekatompylos and will change it to the one Satrap of Parthava asked.

I also 'destroyed' Ptolemaioi government types in Side and Tarsos. Will change them soon as well.

Started to build temple for Apollo in Prophthasia. I did this because there wasn't enough money to recruit units. I also hope that this temple will pacify some of the locals and the loyalty of the people wouldn't be 'Disillusioned' anymore!

The Most Advanced Kingdom in the known world is Safot Softim biQarthadast. This makes me want to open diplomatic talks with them. Perhaps we can sell them our map information just as we have done with other nations.

Some very troublesome news..

Ptolemaioi Army is near Tarsos. About 5 units in it. I ask Sarpedon to allow Timarchos to lead his army against them. It would be bad if we allow them to besiege the town.

Another Ptolemaioi army was seen near Hierosolyma. There are some Kretan Archers and Thessalian Cavalry in it. If the garrison from Hierosolyma joins with them then within the next 3 months they could attack My Royal Army, currently besieging Sidon.

Basileus/Chancellor Report, Summer 270

The last 3 months have been one of the best ones so far! I thank the Commanders of the Armies for that!

Destruction of Sidon was profitable indeed. I had a temptation to order my RA to cut down all those cedars there as well put the presence of Ptolemaic Army south of Sidon made me think otherwise. Timarchos should use my RA to destroy them.

The Cavalry unit to Sarpedon Syriakos' RA have been recruited in Karkathiokerta. With that his RA should be in the required strength.

Soon the Satrapy of Persepolis will have it's Army ready as well. It just needs Cavalry unit now.

The Army for the Satrapy of Parthava(Hekatompylos) have 2 slinger units in Asaak and 2 Phalangitai units coming from Ekbatana.

I have started constraction of several buildings. Melathron Epitropou have been ordered to be built in Zadrakata. In Hekatompylos the government type have been changed. Also Side and Tarsos have become semiautonomous regions under our magistrates. Also the walls in Side and Sidon have been repaired just in case.

Also we are the most Advanced and Strongest Kingdom in the world!

Armies.

I'm happy to say that the Army of Satrapy of Persepolis is finally in it's required strength.
Three units of Pandotapoi Phalangitai are in Persepolis.
Two units Pandotapoi Phalangitai, Akontistai and Slinger units are under command of Captain Hegemonides east of Persepolis.
Hippakontistai unit under command of Captain Sophron is on it's way from Chalkis to meet the rest of the Army.

The Army of Satrapy of Parthava still need some cavalry units but they are already recruited and will soon be on it's way to Hekatompylos.
Two units of Pandotapoi Phalangitai under command of Captain Xenon are near Apameia and will arrive to the Hekatompylos very soon.
Two units of Slingers under Captain Apollophanes are north of Hekatompylos.
Prodromoi unit under Captain Telemachos is on it's way from Seleukeia. It will take some time before he get's to Hekatompylos though.
I also included unit of Dahae Riders to the Satraps army but they are currently a bit understrength. I hope it does not matter since Dahae horse archers are good warriors.

Misc..

Moved Panaitolos Ankyrikos to the Lydian Army just as he wanted.

Sold map information and trade rights to Safot Softim biQarthadast for 1500 mnai.

Offered ceasefire and trade rights to Ptolemaioi if they give Hierosolyma to us.
This is how the governor of that town, Perigenes Bubastites, responded:"An end of war? Perhaps, in the fullness of time. But we see no reason to end the fighting just yet!"

Later our spy found out why he responded the way he did. There is a Ptolemaioi Army south-west of Hierosolyma. It is commanded by Paranomos Philopator and it is quite large! Another Ptolemioi family member is present in that army, Alexandros Traikikos. Current units in that Army: Pandotapoi, Prodromoi, 2 Akontistai, Peltastai, Machimoi Phalangitai, 2 Ioudaioi Taxeis.
If the units from Hierosolyma would join then we will have a mayor threat to our settlements in Syria!

Also I have sent a Hippakontistai unit to Damaskos so perhaps Alexandros Syriakos or Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes could destroy those brigands west of Damaskos. Who ever does that can use the units in Damaskos.

Raised taxes here and there, where possible. The citizens of Hecatompylos has become angry, and I fear we'll have to spend some of our precious money there if we wish to avoid a rebellion. Before I do that I would like Phanias Lydikes to take a look and find the cheapest possible way to solve this. We don't have much mnai to spend.

Moved the majority of my Royal Army into Ipsos for retraining and regrouping. Only the Asiatikoi Hippokontistai have yet to reach my satrapy. Panaitolos Ankyrikos and Theodotas Pisidikes have now arrived at Ipsos as well, but because of housing space, the army had to camp outside of the city. The Parthian Army has also been fully retrained in Asaak.

I have ordered that a proper government should be installed in Sardis.

To temporarily curb the situation, I have moved a syntagma of infantry from my army to the city to keep order until the situation is resolved. I also have reports of sizable devastation near my southeastern border, my patrol will investigate the situation next season and take any action necessary. This may reduce unrest in the city.

Polyxenidos Lykikos have got a very good start. The Babylonian have some good scouts with him and thus they lead the 'Race to Jerusalem'. He is the first one to enter Tadmor. Arrhenides Gedrosianos is not very far behind though. He and his Galatians forced others to march more than usual and are just few miles from the Lykikos Army. Alexandros Syriakos and the combined forces of Attalos Pergamou Mysiakes and Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes are almost next to each other. There is some distance between them and the two in lead but it's not that impossible to catch them in the next season. The most unlucky one is Bithys Nisaias Parthiakes. Having stayed too long to admire the old ruins in Babylon he missed the leave of the others. Now he is far behind and looks like it will take some time before he catches the others.

OOC: TCV could you also add 8902 mnai to the treasure when you take the save. Forgot to add the upkeep cost.

Alexandros Syriakos have been the fastest this season. He forced his men to march faster and his army is camped next to Polyxenidos Lykikos' army. The combined forces of Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes and Attalos Pergamou Mysiakes have passed the others and are moving fast over the vast desert towards the target. Bithys Nisaias Parthiakes is almost catching up Arrhenides Gedrosianos. Parthiakes managed to borrow some horses from the locals and advanced towards Hierosolyma almost as fast as Syriakos. Gedrosianos however was not so lucky. Many of his men became ill after drinking water from an old well and thus he had to make a camp and wait till his men get better.

Added 8902 mnai to the treasure.

Moved Prodromoi unit to the fort north of Hekatompylos.

Chancellor Report, Autumn 269 BCE

I have ordered the construction of quite a few buildings. In Antiocheia-Margiane, the governor will be pleased to know that his house is being expanded, and for the people in Alexandreia-Ariana there will be a bigger temple to Seleukos (which, besides improving pulbic order, should bring in some more taxes). Prophthasia will be getting homes for military settlers and last, but not least, Babylon will see some improved farming in a not too distant future - something they've been bugging me about for some time. The building of roads in Side has been finished.

In other news am pleased to report that the Pontic army that entered our lands last season has now also left it, moving towards Nikaia. In other words, Antiochos' decision proved wise, and no engagement had to be made.

As it has been brought to my attention that there must be enemy spies operating within Asaak, I have begun the creation of a network of spies there to flush them out.

I, myself, has taken my Royal Army and left Sardis, and am currently besieging Pergamon. My Asiatikoi Hippakontistai are halfway to Sardis.

I'm making this brief today.

Arrhenides Gedrosianos forced his men march and in the end it payed off. They are currently in the second place. Alexandros Syriakos have advanced pretty well. He is currently in the lead. The Mysiakes duo, like the men call their Commanders, are a bit ahead of Polyxenidos Lykikos who after some wrong turns, those damn arab scouts, found the right path again and managed to be a little bit better than Bithys Parthiakes, who is just couple of miles behind Lykikos.

Spies were uncovered in Sidon, but unfortunately they escaped our blades. At least they're no longer there to spread unrest any more.

In other news, the garrison of Pergamon decided to sally, but were defeated by Sarpedon Syriakos, who, for the sake of public order, were forced to enslave the population. The victory came at a heavy cost though, and the Asiatikoi Hippakontistai came too late for the battle, but have finally joined the remnants of the Royal Army.

This seasons most interesting news is the alliance of Arrhenides Gedrosianos and Alexandros Syriakos. They have decided to head towards Hierosolyma together. However, the merger of armies took too long and they did not advanced much this season. They still are ahead of the others though. Polyxenidos Lykikos marched long. For a second it seemed that they are in lead but founding a abandoned camp site they realized they are still behind the others. The Mysiakes duo took a wrong turn and are passing the Palmyra from north. The last one is Bithys Parthiakes. The Gods have not been kind to him. They did not managed to repeat the last seasons fast movement and are the last. If he wishes to get to Palestine before the others he really needs the Favour of the Gods.

A little more (non-violent) action this season than the last. New buildings in construction is a temple to Atargatis in Side, a greater governor's mansion in Ekbatana and a wooden palisade in Hekatompylos. The MIC for foreigners is also being expanded in Mazaka. In Ipsos, the construction of basic farming has completed, and the city prospers and grows once again. A new government has been successfully installed in Salamis, and a temporary military government is in place in Pergamon.

The Syrian army in Antiocheia has been retrained, as were the Peltastai and Toxotai from my own Royal Army. The rest, including myself, got improvements to their equipment.

In foreign affairs, the Pontic army that was seen moving towards Nikaia has taken a beating and retreated back into our lands. There should be no reason to fret, as they're most likely to leave our lands as quickly as they came. Pontos has also gone to war against Epeiros.

But there is some bad news too: we only held on to the title as the most advanced nation for one season! The new name on everyone's lips are now the Karthadastim.

The Mysiakes Duo are north of Palmyra and looks like they will enter the Arche's territory again in the next season. Bithys Parthiakes' and Polyxenidos Lykikos' armies are in hearing distance. If everything goes perfectly then both of them might enter Syria Koile in the next season as well.

The activity in the Arche stays on top for another season. A new government is being established in Pergamon, roads in Salamis, simple drainage in Ipsos and a temporary military government in Halikarnassos. The wooden palisade there has also been repaired.

The amount of finished buildings are perhaps even greater. The farmlands in Babylon have finished, and the populace there can quite literally reap the rewards now. Homes for our military settlers have also finished in Propthasia, which should improve the public order there. The governors house in Antiocheia-Margiane is finished, as is the small temple of Seleukos in Alexandreia-Ariana, which has once again put the inhabitants there at ease. There will be no rebellion there. Hekatompylos now has a wooden palisade to protect it from raids or worse and the sacred enclosure of Atargatidos is finished in Side. Last but not least, Sidon now has a government established, and the military government of Halikarnassos is in place.

In order to keep the peace in Halikarnassos, I had to go there myself, which necessitated lower taxes in Pergamon. To make up for it, I increased taxes in Salamis. However, I only did this out of necessity and as a temporary thing, so I would not have Theodotas Pisidikes just take off and leave me to deal with it! I would have a garrison in place first. Also, though you may have had good intentions, I would remind you that you do NOT have the authority to change the taxes. That is for me to do, or for any satrap that the settlement in question belongs to.

In other news, the Pontic army hasn't moved at all over the season. I still don't feel any need for fear, but keeping it in the back of our heads might be a good thing.

After last seasons good progress Arrhenides Gedrosianos and Alexandros Syriakos were confident that no one could catch them. They made only a modest progress in this season and their arrogance payd them back. Soon they noticed a dust cloud behind them and found out that Polyxenidos Lykikos had forced his men and they also managed to reach Syria Koile. To make things worse, news came from south that Bithys Parthiakes also arrived to the province and are actually the closest army to Hierosolyma. Also the news that the Mysiakes Duo is getting closer from north did not make Gedrosianos and Syriakos any happier.

Added 8902 mnai to treasure.

All Strategoi, who merged their armies, please PM who will be the person who will become the 'King' once Hierosolyma is taken! So, Arrhenides-Alexandros and Timarchos-Attalos, make your decision!

As the populace in Asaak seem to be unhappy, they'll get a city-state festival to keep them from rioting. The same goes for the city and populace of Prophtasia.

Side will be getting some basic farming, while Ipsos will be getting hidden stone sewers. The increased population growth that the health improvements will give us is highly needed in the area, since there's lots of retraining being done, and still to be done as is.

The MIC for foreign natives in Mazaka has been finished. New soldiers are willing and able to fight for us now. In Salamis, roads have been finished as well.

Taxes
Lowered taxes in Asaak.

Raised taxes in Antiocheia-Mergiane.

MilitaryTwo RGBs and a unit of akontistai, as ordered by Antiochos, has been raised in Antiocheia. Yet another unit of akontistai is on it's way.

Two units of pantodapoi phalangitai and a unit of thureophoroi from my own Royal Army has been retrained in Ipsos.

Otherwise, the only finished building this season was the small temple of Artemis in Sardis.

Taxes
Halikarnassos as well as Asaak had their taxes raised, while Ipsos and Sardis saw some lower ones, a decision that was made because the area desperately needs a boost in population. The retraining of my RA as well as the 1st Lydian Army is costly in terms of men.

Military
A unit of caucasian archers has been trained in Mazaka for my own Royal Army. They will be replacing my band of persian archers.

Two units of akontistai have been trained, one in Sardis for the garrison of Halikarnassos and one in Antiocheia for the garrison of Sidon.

Attalos Mysiakes and Timarchos Mysiakes had a good start they managed to get ahead of Alexandros and Arrhenides. However soon they noticed that the road they had taken did not lead them closer to Hierosolyma but instead further east, away from it. Quick investigation showed that someone's devious hand had changed the sign on the crossroads a way back. Who was behind it remains a secret. Alexandros Syriakos and Arrhenides Gedrosianos managed to get to the striking distance from Hierosolyma and camped near a bridge north-east of the city. Polyxenidos Lykikos and Bithys Parthiakes forced their armies to march harder and managed to catch the Mysiakes Duo. All of the liberators are finally near Hierosolyma.

A few more buildings were started this season. Sardis, Salamis, Arbela and Mazaka all got simple drainages, while Zadrakata and Karkathiokerta both got plans for city-state festivals. In Babylon, a game field is being constructed, as well as a temple of Mithras in Hekatompylos and a wooden palisade in Gabai.

Further than the simple drainages who only took a couple of months to build, I do know that the preparations for few city-state festivals should have been finished, but I cannot tell where exactly, or if any more buildings may have been finished. This is because the reports were somehow lost.

Read: someone deleted the messages in-game. ~:rolleyes:

Foreign affairs
There is not much to say. Alexandros Syriakes and Arrhenides Gedrosianos' stack was attacked by a large Ptolemaic army. Judging that they could not win the fight, or at least not without too great casualties, they decided to retreat, and the Ptolemaic force now holds the bridge.

Misc.
Most of the Lydian Army (one unit of akontistai still remains in Halikarnassos) has started it's march towards Ipsos*. The prodromoi and the Jews from my army has started their march towards Antiocheia for retraining, and my thureophoroi is just one march away from it's destination in Pergamon.

*OOC: In the save I'm dealing out the Lydian army is already in Ipsos, but that was a move made in the summer - that is the same season as the save I'm giving out is in - not spring, which is why I'm only noting that they have begun here.

For some unknown reason Polyxenidos Lykikos decided to leave the cause and he rode away from the Army. He headed to Damaskos at the moment so later to head back to Babylon. Babylonian Infantry and Median Cavalry units, who joined only because of Lykikos, decided to go home as well. Seeing no point of getting dead the Toxotai unit left as well. Only the Iudaioi units stayed with Bithys Parthiakes. Although there was a lot of confusion Parthiakes managed to get over the bridge and he and his army near the city. Alexandros Syriakos and Arrhenides Gedrosianos took the bridge position again. They almost would have besieged the city as well but they heard that someone have already done it. The army that had besieged Hierosolyma belonged to Attalos Mysiakes and Timarchos Mysiakes. If everything will go as it is planned then they are ready to attack the town in the next season!

If I already haven't then I want that Peltastai unit in Lydian Army to be disbanded and Toxotai unit to be recruited for them instead. (I saw that retraining Peltastai is over 800mnai while new Txotai unit is 411 mnai!)

Also, There is a Rebel Army near Babylon!

Chancellor Report, Summer 267 BCE

Buildings
Too low funds to do much spending on buildings this season, however at least Sidon will see an improved temple to Atargatis.

On the other hand, many buildings have been completed this season. The improvements to the governor's mansion in Ekbatana, the wooden palisade in Gabai, the city-state festivals in Alexandreia-Ariana and Antiocheia-Mergiane, the hidden stone sewers in Ipsos and basic farming in Side.

Taxes
Taxes has been raised in Sardis and Sidon.

Military
The Lydian Army as well as the parts from the Basileus' Royal Army in Antiocheia has been retrained. The Lydian Army's peltastai has been disbanded and replaced by a unit of toxotai.

Foreign affairs
We are no longer the most advanced faction, as the SPQR has taken that place.

Also, there are some changes in the diplomatic stage. Our allies the SPQR are now at war with the Karthadastim, and more importantly for us, Pontos has signed a peace treaty with the Ptolemaioi while their armies still remain in our lands. Perhaps we have real reasons to question their motives now?

Misc.
Moved the akontistai unit belonging to the Lydian Army from Halikarnassos to Sardis. My own units have been moving towards Pergamon and Antiocheia, either for joining the army or for retraining.

While moving west Bithys Parthiakes saw a man riding away. Although his horsemen were not able to catch the man it was clear that he is a Ptolemaioi spy. In the Timarchos Mysiakes' camp another strange thing occurred. His swordbearer saw a man near the rams. While moving towards him he recognized a man from the Arrhenides Gedrosianos' army. The saboteur managed to get away but he didn't finish the job. The rams were fixed fast and the Mysiakes' army can attack the city when ever they want! Arrhenides and Alexandros are still camped near the river crossing.

Added the upkeep cost, 7913 mnai.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Moved Aratos Syriakes and Syrian Army to Karkathiokerta.

Took my RA units from Antiocheia and merged them with the rest of my Royal Army.

OOC: I had problems with downloading from Mizus as well. Hope this is some temporary thing.

Chancellor Report, Autumn 267 BCE

Buildings
In response to the rising levels of rebels, I have decided to raise more homes for military settlers, this time in Antiocheia-Margiane and Ekbatana. These will be finished in a year. In Ipsos the construction of a granary will be raised to assure an easier and a safer survival over the winter periods, as well as other tougher times - another of my actions to improve the population growth in Mikra Asia. Back in the north-east, Prophtasia's populace is unhappy with our rule, so they will be getting a temple to Apollo - religion is, after all, a good tool to keep the people quiet. Moreover, Side will be getting a city-state festival.

The only finished constructions this season was the city-state festival in Zadrakata, as well as the establishment of a government in Pergamon.

Taxes
Lowered taxes in Halikarnassos to keep the order there.

Military
Raised a unit of akontistai in Sardis for the garrison of Halikarnassos to allow my own exit from the city.

The Persian archers from my own Royal Army has been disbanded.

Foreign affairs
The Pontic captain-led stack is now just outside of Ipsos.

Misc.
Left Halikarnassos and moved to Sardis. For this I had to temporarily send the garrison of Sardis, a unit of pantodapoi phalangitai, to Halikarnassos. The akontistai unit has rejoined the Lydian army in Ipsos again. My Caucasian archers have almost arrived in Pergamon.

Merged Phanias Lydikes with his infantry and started their movement towards Hekatompylos, as instructed.

Not much to say about our Liberators. Bithys, Alexandros and Arrhenides have moved their armies north of the city. All of them are waiting what will happen next. Whether the Mysiakes Duo attacks the city or will they wait longer?

Added the upkeep cost, 7913 mnai.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moved Polyxenidos Lykikos to Babylonia just like he asked. Also moved Parthian Army towards Ekbatana and Captain Polianthes around the mountains so that the Rebels wouldn't attack him.

Used my powers as a Basileus and moved Dioiketes ancillary from Theodoros Syriakos to Phanias Lydikes.

Disbanded Peltastai unit in Mazaka and I want Akontistai unit to be recruited in Antiocheia.

While I disbanded Peltastai in Mazaka I saw a weird bug. It showed Sarpedon Syriakos as a governor there but also I saw that he was a governor in Sardis! Don't know what to think of it!

Yes, I noticed this shortly after I became satrap as well, but figured that it was because I got the satrap ancillary thing. Was that not why? If not, it's still hardly a bad bug. :sleepy:

Chancellor Report, Winter 267 BCE

Buildings
The construction of a few buildings have been ordered. In Sardis there will be a school, in Alexandreia-Ariana there will be homes for military settlers, a conscription center in Pergamon and last and least, some basic farming in Gabai.

This season a government has finally been put in place in Halikarnassos, a game field is in place in Babylon and a small temple to Mithras in Hekatompylos.

Military
A new unit of Caucasian archers has been raised in Mazaka for my Royal Army, and the pre-existing ones have made it to Pergamon and has been retrained there.

Internal affairs
The citizens of Side are almost ready to revolt, which reports say is to a large degree because of some hostile agents in the city. The populace of Antiocheia are roused as well, though we have no knowledge of any agents present there.

Foreign affairs
The Karthadastim have signed a peace treaty with Epeiros.

Misc.
The prodromoi and jews from my army has been moved further towards Antiocheia.

Moved the 1st Lydian Army (with permission from Chaotix in his absence) east to engage Eleutheroi Army Commanded by Captain Epaphras. They are just north of Tarsos and are blocking the road there. We will reach them next season in time to do battle.

After some heated discussions Arrhenides Gedrosianos and Alexandros Syriakos decided to leave the Cause and headed to Sidon. Their Army, after the leave of their Commanders, decided to leave it too. Units were disbanded and men went back to their homes. Bithys Parthiakes is still staying in his camp north of Hierosolyma and waiting what will happen to the siege of the town. Timarchos Mysiakes and Attalos Mysiakes are taking their time. No need to rush into attack of a town which garrison is almost as big as their army. So they wait...

Added upkeep cost: 4887 mnai

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unit of Akontistai should be recruited in Antiocheia to keep the public order.

Moved Parthian Army towards Seleukeia.

Moved Captain Polianthes towards Antiocheia. They belong to the Sarpedon's Royal Army and should be recruited once they arrive there.
