Royal Treasury

[The Celtic Viking]

Continue Peltastai in Diaspolis-Megale (I don't see why I didn't have enough money? With the 3 cargo ships and the troops, I spent 2,718- do you count upkeep as a true expense, or do you subtract it from current treasury after purchases are made?)

You had 2996 mnai. You bought 3 ships for 1500, getting you up to a total of 12 ships. The upkeep for each ship is 50, so 50*12 = 600. The fleet tax (for the Trieries) is 151 for each active player. 1500 + 600 + 151 = 2251. 2996 - 2251 = 745 mnai, which is less than the 1218 mnai required.

[The Celtic Viking]

Built 3 cargo ships and recruited a unit of Peltastai in Diaspolis-Megale for Paul D.
Recruited a unit of Machimoi Hippeis for Folgore in Alexandreia.

(Paul D, if you wonder why I only built 3 cargo ships for you, it's because you already had 12 and there's a limit of 15.)

[Paul D]

Lysimachos Ptolemaios recruits a unit of Peltastai in either Memphis or Diaspolis-Megale (Preferrably in Memphis) (cost= 1,218)

Lysimachos commisions the construction of a Pentekoneroi fleet wherever it is convenient to do so. (cost= 2,500)

Lysimachos Ptolemaios keeps his Alexandria-Salamis trade route contract in effect.


OOC: In case anybody is wondering, I'm planning on having my guy make naval reforms, which involves having a permanent contingent of marines (peltastai or Kretan Archers) aboard all military ships, and a fleet consisting of specified modular units that we can deploy either the ships, or the marines to coastal provinces, when needed. He wants to make an example by forming a private force first to show its potential usefulness.

[Folgore]

I would like to sign the trade route from Salamis to Antiocheia (385 mnai per ship per turn).

[The Celtic Viking]

I'm signing the trade route between Antiocheia and Salamis.

[The Celtic Viking]

Recruited Pentekonteroi in Alexandreia and Peltastai in Memphis for Paul D.

[The Celtic Viking]

The Celtic Viking and Folgore's income was cut in half due to pirates.

[Paul D]

Lysimachos Ptolemaios hires 1 more unit of Peltastai at Alexandria or Memphis to form the marines for his personal navy.

[The Celtic Viking]

Recruited a unit of Peltastai for Paul D in Alexandreia.

[The Celtic Viking]

Extra (127) charges for repairing the Trieries has been applied.

[The Celtic Viking]

I'm signing the trade route between Salamis and Antiocheia. ( to you, Folgore!)

[Folgore]

(Ah you scoundrel, I was on vacation! :p )

I'll take Antiocheia to Salamis then this year.



EDIT: I would also like to retrain my Ioudaioi Taxeis in Hierosolyma and recruit another unit of Ioudaioi Taxeis, also in Hierosolyma.

[Paul D]

Lysimachos Ptolemaios keeps his trade contract of Salamis-Alexandria open.

[The Celtic Viking]

(Ah you scoundrel, I was on vacation! :p )

That seems to me to be the best time to strike.

Treasurer's Report:


Retrained the Iudaioi Taxeis in Hierosolyma and recruited another one in the same place for Folgore.

[The Celtic Viking]

Recruited a unit of Trispithamoi Katapeltai for The Celtic Viking in Antiocheia, and also used his money to build a type 3 goverment in Ammonion.

[Folgore]

What happened to my trade route? Suddenly it's 1400 mnai less.

Can I switch to Salamis-Side or do I have to wait until the end of the year?

[The Celtic Viking]

I don't know what happened either; I was just as surprised as you and had to double check it just to make sure I hadn't made a mistake. At least you still didn't go minus.

In any case, no, you don't have to wait and you can change trade routes at any time. You will still have to sign it again as soon as the next year begins though.

[Folgore]

Yeah, I figured maybe it was rebels again, because they caused my trade to go down when I was in Ioudaia, but your route (my previous route ( )), which is the reverse of my current route, is unaffected.

Anyway, if I can switch then it's no big deal. I'd like to sign the Salamis-Side route then.

[The Celtic Viking]

Recruited a unit of Mistophoroi Toxotai Kretikoi for The Celtic Viking, merged them with his old ones and then disbanded the rest.
Disbanded Visorslash's supervisors and removed his estate. There is now an open spot for an estate in Alexandreia for anyone interested.

[johnhughthom]

I would like to purchase the estate in Alexandreia please.

[The Celtic Viking]

I would like to purchase the estate in Alexandreia please.

I assume you'll use the same supervisors as before, yes?

[johnhughthom]

I assume you'll use the same supervisors as before, yes?

Yes, thanks.

[The Celtic Viking]

Tore down johnhughthom's estate outside of Memphis and built a new one for him outside Alexandreia.

[Folgore]

Got loot from 289 Seleucid soldiers from the Battle of Assyrie.

[The Celtic Viking]

Treasurer Report, Spring 263 BCE

The Celtic Viking signed the Salamis-Antiocheia route.
Folgore and Paul D didn't sign any route, so they got no income this turn...
... except for the money that Folgore made from the battle.

[The Celtic Viking]

Got loot from 289 Seleucid soldiers from the Battle of Assyrie.

Actually, you got loot from 301 Seleucid soldiers. The rules just says that it's the number of enemies is what counts, not how many of them that you killed.

Edit: you know what? I'm going to do it again, and "steal" your trade route. I'm switching to the Salamis-Side trade route. My greed was just too strong for me to resist it.

[Folgore]

Haha! I somehow managed to report the 151 mnai I got for the battle, but forgot the 5800 mnai trade route...

I'd like the Salamis-Antiocheia route then please.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I think we can call strategos roma inactive as well for now.

[The Celtic Viking]

Roger. I will probably take the save and do my stuff in a couple of hours, so Paul D still has some time to sign a route.

[Folgore]

I defeated 299 Seleucid soldiers at the The Battle of Syria.
