Chancellor Report, Winter 262 BCE

Buildings
As usual in unruly provinces, katoikiai has begun construction in Sinope and Mazaka, and in a less-unruly-but-not-completely-content Sardis a Phrourion is being prepared. In the newly conquered city of Nikaia the Stauroma Xulikon has been repaired, and a Diallage Enchorios has replaced the old, Epeirotan government.

This season saw the completion of a Heorte Poleos in Antiocheia, a Temenos Hieron Mithrou in Karmana and katoikiai in Amaseia.

Military
The Prodromoi and Thureophoroi in Antiocheia have been retrained. In Hekatompylos a unit of Nîzagân-î Êrânshahr has been raised, and Hierosolyma now has yet another unit of pantodapoi.

Internal affairs
Celebration is at hand as the 1st Lydian Army under Panaitolos Ankyros has captured Nikaia! The population was enslaved which brought great wealth to our glorious Arche, and the trade, taxes and grain is not too shabby either. Taxes were lowered though, to keep the peace.

In other news, trade has also begun with the Getai.

Foreign affairs
The Aedui and the SPQR are now at war against eachother. May our allies be victorious.

Intelligence
A Pahlavan army has once more shown their complete disrespect toward our Arche and has crossed our lands. It didn't stay for long, but it's still there.

The Epeirotan army spotted in Thrace has disappeared. However, a much greater one has been spotted outside of Serdike, led by a Eudamos Prochtheios.

Misc.
Sarpedon and his Royal Army has taken one step further towards Byzantion, and Arrhenides one click further towards Sarpedon's Royal Army. Aratos Syriakos will be in Antiocheia in 6 months.

Chancellor's Report, Spring 261 BCE

Buildings
New inhabitants are being brought into Nikaia to replace the unwanted people, in an effort to create a loyal Satrapeia Seleukeia. It has also been decided that Pergamon needs a new armoury and thus the construction of a Syllogos kai Skeuotheke has been ordered. In Zadrakata it is hoped that a new Naiskos Mithrou will keep the people in check. They are getting unhappy with our rule. Ankyra will get a Naiskos Atargatidos.

A Diallage Enchorios has been established in Byzantion. Military settlers have been brought and settled in the new katiokiai in Asaak and Side, while the Satrapeia HemiAutonomos is finished in Hierosolyma.

Military
A klerouchoi phalangitai has been raised in Antiocheia to replaced losses in Sarpedon's Royal Army.

Internal affairs
Sarpedon has assaulted and taken Byzantion! The inhabitants have been enslaved, and the taxes set on low. A battle report will come.

Nikanor has now assumed command over the 1st Parthian Army.

Antiochos Syriakos has died of natural causes! Sarpedon Syriakos is the new Basileus!

Foreign affairs
No news to report.

Intelligence
Spies have been sent down into Aigyptos. Alexandreia is lightly garrisoned with 244 Pezhetairoi, 122 Klerouchon Agema and 80 Toxotai Kretikoi.

There is also a small Ptolemaic band waiting by the docks in Heptanomis. Reports say no more than 2-3 units led by a general, who's name we have been unable to ascertain.

Spies have also been positioned outside of Petra, showing a light Arabian garrison.

Misc.
Arrhenides has been moved towards Byzantion and will get there next season. Phormion has been moved towards Persepolis and Aratos towards Antiocheia where he will arrive next season. The 1st Parthian Army under Nikanor has been moved towards Petra.

I could only get the path set on the Phalangitai as far as the bridge outside of Antiocheia, so when they get there someone will have to set another route to get them to Byzantion. I've set the path on the Prodromoi so they'll get all the way to Seleukeia (in case they get overlooked for some reason)

Basileus Report, Spring 257 BCE

I engaged a Ptolemaic army outside of my fort in the Delta Neilou consisting mostly of light infantry and native spearmen and phalanxes, no cavalry at all. The victory was great; I guess the time spent studying tactics finally paid off. (OOC: Sarpedon gained the trait "Good Tactician", giving +1 to command stars. Battle report coming up tomorrow I think.)

Ptolemaios must be getting desperate and scared now that I have besieged Alexandria. He has strengthened it much since our last reports - or the reports were simply false - but all in all, we should win. Unless our supplies run out before theirs do, and they can hold on for almost three years. This may call for an assault, but that would be bloody, and that's undesirable. Hmm. Perhaps that old fool spoke wisdom after all?

Captain Androsthenes have moved on and is just one click away from Byzantion now, and captain Lasthenes are halfway between Hierosolyma and the 1st Syrian Army's fort. He will get to me when winter comes.

Chancellor Panaitolos should take note that without an intervention, Ekbatana and Zadrakata are likely to riot.

Basileus Report, Autumn 256 BCE

The Ptolemaic government in Alexandreia has been dissolved. Unfortunately, this caused the workers to rebel, and in the fight they all got killed. This caused the improvement of the docks to stop, and before it can be restarted, proper control must be taken. So a Diallage Enchorios (Regional pacification) should be established there.

I and my Royal Army has relieved Memphis from its siege, and the Ptolemaic government there has been dissolved as well, and a Diallage Enchorios should be established. Chancellor, please retrain the 1st Syrian Army!

Chancellor, I also ask you to re-establish the governments in Antiocheia and Byzantion. It is completely unacceptable that these continue without a governance!

The garrison of Edessa should be retrained.

I also wish to point attention towards Halikarnassos, which is in rebellion! The garrison there must be retrained, and a unit of akontistai should be raised as well.

Captain Lasthenes have been moved further towards Alexandreia to join the Royal Army again.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Event 3 changes

1. Used FD and gave Persepolis, Karmana, Gabai and Prophthasia to Pahlava. Destroyed Seleucid governments in those towns as well. Money gained from that was removed from our treasury.

2. Declared War against Pahlava. Alliance between Pahlava and Hayasdan is in Tatters because of it.
https://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh311/ibnkhaldun/WotB/worb_pic1.jpg

3. Most of the units I made for the 'Persians' are Babylonian Infantry, Madian Cavalry and Persian Archers.

4. Since there were no FM's on the campaign map then I moved Captain Sokhrab(1 Parthian Armored Horse Archers and 2 mardian Archers) near Persepolis. I'm sure that some generals will appear for Pahlava soon in Persia.

5. Killed those 6 avatars and also removed 'Satrapeia Medias' ancillary from Mikithon. This caused Hekatompylos going 'red'. To prevent riots I suggest someone to change it.

Why haven't peace been made with Epeiros yet? It must be signed immediately as the council decided! It is not in the Chancellor's authority to refuse.

[B]Chancellor's Report, Autumn 255 BCE[/

Buildings
Workers in Memphis have begun constructing a stone wall, as per Satrap Aratos' command. It will be finished in one and a half year. In Sinope the building of a Naiskos Seleukou has been started which will take a full year to complete.

Buildings were finished this season in Sardis, Halikarnassos and Byzantion, where it was an Agora, Melathron Epitropou as well as a Syllogos Strateumatos, respectively.

Military
A unit of Hippakontistai has been raised in Babylon, and a Prodromoi unit in Seleukeia for the 1st Babylonian Army. The army is thus ready for action, and to make sure Patrokles takes the right men, it consists of the following: 1 Toxotai, 1 Sphendonetai, 2 Pantodapoi Phalangitai, 2 Thureophoroi, 1 Hippakontistai and 1 Prodromoi. The units are mostly stationed in Seleukeia, with the exception of the Hippakontistai, who are in Babylon.

The garrison of Zadrakata has been retrained.

Internal affairs
Taxes have been raised in Tarsos, Charax, Zadrakata, Byzantion,
Foreign affairs
Peace has finally been settled with the Epeirotes.

Our map information has been sold to the Lusotannans for 1300 mnai.

There are reports of Galatians who have become unhappy enough with our puppet Epigenes ruling them to have openly formed a rebellion against him. He does not have enough soldiers to take care of them himself, and he has thus contacted us for aid. From what we know of the rebel forces, they include some of those ferocious Tindanotae, accompanied by levies, but the majority of their actual forces remain unknown. If we do not act, he could be overthrown, and the new ruler there may not be as friendly towards us as Epigenes is.

Intelligence
Spies have been sent outside of Petra, where a large army of Ptolemaic levies await. A large part of it is made up of Arabs.

Spies have also infiltrated Paraitonion, where the Ptolemaic strategos Onasas Larnakaios commands a respectable army including some elite phalangites and Galatian heavy swordsmen.

Pyrrhos Aiakides has been found in Serdike.

Misc.
Captain Apatourios have been moved with some Prodromoi and Thureophoroi towards Seleukeia. The SPQR have, unfortunately, been recognized as the most advanced people on Earth.

5 RGBs have been raised in Seleukeia. (I don't have time to upload pictures now, though. I can do it tomorrow if it hasn't been done by then.)
