Basileus' and Chancellors Reports

Taking the save (for real this time :wiseguy: )

Done, moved self and RA to Apameia, moved Basileios Sarpedon into Ioudaia to meet up with his RA.

Chancellor's Report, ending Winter 248 BC

Military: No new recruitment this season

Construction: Ocheteia Haple have been dug at Gabai, Pergamon, and Nikaia, all work on them is completed. Emporion were started at Halikarnassos and Side. A Purotheke was started at Apameia, as was a Mega Phourion at Persepolis. Proskopoi Chrematistoi were sent out from Zadrakata. King Epigenes of Galatia was given our blessing to construct a Choriton Syllogos Strateumatos in Ankyra, that he may fulfill his levy requirements as per his clientage agreement with the Arche. Work was completed on the Naiskos Mithrou at Asaak this season.

Taxes: Raised at Pergamon to normal, Halikarnassos to normal, Sardis to Very High, and lowered at Pselkis to Low

Notable Events: Susa has grown signifigantly. The Romaioi are again counted the most advanced people. In happier news, my son Marsyas Lydikes has come of military age in Apameia while accompanying me on campaign. I intend to order him to return to Hekatompylos to begin his formal military and administrative education.

Intelligence: A spy has been hired from amongst the populace in Alexandreia-Ariane to keep watch on our Northeastern Frontier. The rural populace around Asaak report a Pahlavan army in the area on our side of the border. Our spies in Aigyptos have been ordered to take up forward positions further in the desert to report on Ptolemaic troop movements. Several Army stacks are reported to be approaching Cunobelinos Arrhenides' position near Paraitonion.

Treasury: 9968 m'nai (incl. 6671 upkeep recovery)

Save: WotB247-1-1.rar

Taking save. Done. Arrhenides (CP), your fort is besieged by a Med. Ptolemy stack. Moved north to resist a new Pahlavan invasion. Sarpedon and RA moving toward Sidon.

Chancellor's report-ending Spring 247 BC

Military: 2 Prodromoi, Alexandreia-Ariane-1 raised for Phanias' RA and 1 retrained, 1 Pantodapoi @ Pselkis for garrison, 1 Asiatikoi Hippeis disbanded from Phanias' RA. Cunobelinus' Arrhenides is besieged in his camp in western Aigyptos.

Construction: Work stated on Satrapeia Hemi-Autonome @ Pselkis and walls repaired, Palisade @ Karmana, Ocheteia Haple @ Petra-completed, Emporion @ Tarsos, Heorte Poleos @ Amaseia, Ochetos Lithinos Kryptos @ Pergamon. The Gymnasion Mikron was completed @ Antiocheia.

Events of Note: We are noted as the most advanced civilization.

Intelligence: Our recently hired spy is in position near Antiocheia-Margiane to observe Pahlavan troop movements.

Treasury: 13748 m'nai (incl 6771 upkeep recovery)

New Save: WotB-247-2-1.rar

Taking the save.

Done. Assaulted and captured the town of Hibis. Clear Victory.

WotB-247-2-2

takin zee save, ja?


the flippin coward ran as his phalanx engaged... made one charge on the hypasts and then took off. Laid seige to his coastal town. Only a matter of time.


http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KNXEZIIT

Taking the save. Done. Moved to counter the van of the Pahlavan incursion into Astauene, should be able to initiate contact in a season or 2. Basileios Sarpedon is currently in Sidon, with his army encamped in the port town to ease pressure on the inhabitants of the city. The Capitol was moved to Sidon, where the Royal Court is in residence after the evacuation of Antiocheia.

Military: The coastal town of Paraitonion is captured by Cunobelinus G. Arrhenides. A unit of Machimoi Infantry has been raised in Hibis to serve as the bodyguard of Alexandros Syriakos. A new unit of Hypaspistai is raised for the Basileios in Alexandreia, and the old one has been disbanded, it's (former) captain being held for questioning by emergency order. The city of Byzantion was lost to the Epeirote dogs this season due to the inaction of Nikarchos A. Syriakes.

Construction: In Hibis, the former Ptolemaic government was dismantled and Provisional military rule enforced. Propthasia, Dispolis-Megale and Nikaia saw the commissioning of Phourion. Residents of Damaskos have taken it upon themselves to begin work on a new Agora, and work began on Ochetos Lithinos Kryptos in Gabai. The messenger I was expecting with completed construction reports never arrived, so all Satraps and governors must take it upon themselves to confer with their city planning staff to catalog any newly completed public works.

OOC:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The save I got after CP's battle didn't have any messages on it, and my wife takes all my old scratch papers and hides or moves them.:whip:

Taxes: The new taxation figures are as follows. Petra-VH, Sinope-VH, Apameia-H, Zadrakata-N,Ekbatana-L, and Susa-L.

I didnt looked at all the messages, but i didnt close em... sorry if that made em disappear then...

Marched south. I'm forcing the big cheese to levy a garison now. I left the city undefended and moved out to engage the remaining Ptolemaic forces. Cunobelinus will NOT return to the council before he is finished his campaign.

*STILL* need that army list.

Taking the save.... done. Patrokles has razed the barrack and Blacksmith of Antioch and left the city to head back east. (that add 4100 to the Rebel treasury)

ahh well. I guess the rebels will have to make due with the 10000 mnai we already have ( and cant spend, which is a big problem when you are being chased by a huge army....:sweatdrop::sweatdrop: not good at all, ohh well only 4 turns till we can go on a spending spree)

Taking the save. Done, engaged the Pahlavans, but they retreated out of my range, I expect to engage conclusively next season. Basileios Sarpedon has entered Syria and is halfway to Antiocheia with his army.

Military:1 unit of Pantodapi Phalangitai were raised in Hierosolyma for Basileios Sarpedon's Army, and 1 unit of Machimoi Infantry for Alexandros Syriakos' bodyguard.

Construction: The walls of Dispolis Megale wrer repaired and a satrapeia Hemi-Autonome is started in Hibis, while a Didaskaleion is commissioned for Memphis. In the East, Hekatompylos builders have begun work on a Choriton Ephebeia kai Skeuotheke, Sardis has pooled together to expand the Temple of Artemis.

Phourion were completed in Ekbatana and Susa, as were Government offices in Pselkis, Amaseia will begin celebrating Heorte Poleos in their new festival grounds. Karkathiokerta has finished work on its Emporion, and Apameia has a new Purotheke. Alexandreia-Ariane's Megaron Epitropou is also finished.

Internal Affairs: It appears that a new Satrap will have to be selected for Mikra-Asia, as Satrap Nikarchos was inside of Byzantion when it was overrun by the Epeirotai dogs. The controversially gained city of Paraitonion is in riots due to lack of any notable presence of authority.

Foreign Affairs: It appears from various reports that some barbaroi from the north of Thraike are moving into Epeiros' balkan territories. Also, closer to home, a force of Saby'n attempted to overcome the Nabatoi at Bostra, they failed to capture the city and have retreated into our lands.

Intelligence: An Assassin has been hired at Alexandreia to attemt to deal with the increased activity of enemy spies throughout our lands, and an additional spy was hired at Alexandreia Ariane to observe Parni movements on our borders.

Treasury: 18933 (includes upkeep recovery and rebel building adjustment; +6771, -4100)

Further regrouped the army.

Alright then, taking the save!

Eprikrates has moved out of Selukeia with a force to reinforce Patrokles.
http://files.filefront.com/WotB+247+.../fileinfo.html

Taking the save. Done. Engaged a small Pahlavan Army directly outside of Asaak, clear victory,Battle report later. Basileios Sarpedon has entered Antiocheia with his army in time to celebrate the Babylonian New Year,and it appears that the rebel general abandoned the city.

Chancellor report ending winter 247 BC

Military: 1 Ioudaoi Taxeis was recruited for Basileios Sarpedon's Royal Army @Hierosolyma, 1 Akontistai for the Alexandreia garrison, and 1 Pantodapoi for the Hibis garrison, Pantodapoi from the Memphis garrison were retrained. Sarpedon has retaken Antiocheia in a bloodless victory!

Construction: repairs were made on the walls of Hibis, Emporion were completed at Salamis and Sidon, andOchetos Lithinos Kryptos were finished in Pergamon. Work began on expanding the Mega-Basileion at Antiocheia, and Susa's governors residence is being expanded to include a Megaron Epitropou. Ekbatana is getting a Mega-Phourion, Edessa will be enjoying a new Emporion, and Ochetos Lithinos Kryptos were started in Apameia. Alexandreia-Ariane is building an Ephebeia Phourike kai Skeuotheke Basilike. The Barracks and Armory facilities were mysteriously burned and looted in Paraitonion by some misguided Ptolemaioi loyalists.

Internal Affairs: Persepolis has grown enough to discuss an expansion of the Governmental residence. A small Ptolemaioi army has been spotted near Hibis.

Rebel News: Reports of rioting have come in from Babylon, Arbela, and Seleukeia. It appears that the loyal subjects of the Arche chafe under rebel rule once again. Perhaps the people are emboldened by the Rebels' apparent cowardice in abandoning Antiocheia.

Treasury: 13406 m'nai (incl +6771 upkeep recovery)

The Makedones have betrayed our alliance and have besieged Pergamon! Needless to say, we are now at war with those treacherous dogs.

Construction: Work on Metalleia has begun at Asaak, to begin taking advantage of the precious metals in the region. In Hibis, the Government Offices are finished, Halikarnassos and Side both have a new Emporion, the Mega-Phourion at Persepolis is now in use, and Gabai now has Ochetos Lithinos Kryptos to handle the waste generated there.

ITS SUNNY HERE TOO! bugger... well I guess I can get er done later on, I cant really do it right now, I'm cleaning up the place after a party, and then I gotta run some errands... We'll see.. I'll try to do it ASAP.

Chancellor's report Ending Fall 246 BC:

Military: Reinforcements for the 1st Lydian Army were trained as follows; Ipsos-1 Kerouchikoi Phalangitai, Sardis-1 Peltastai, Side-1Hippakontistai, Mazaka-1 Kovkasi Lernain Netadzik. Also, a unit of Klerouchikoi Phalangitai that was en-route to Byzantion when it was overrun has been recalled to Ipsos, and will be reassigned to the 1st Lydian. Pantodapoi were trained for the garrison at Alexandreia Ariane, and Elements of the Parthavan Satrapal army were retrained at Hekatompylos as follows; 1 Shivatir Pahlavanig, 1 Shuban-i-Fradakshana, 1 Thanvare Payahdag, and 1 Pantodapoi Phalangitai. 1 Ioudiaioi Taxeis was trained for the Basileios' Royal Army at Hierosolyma.

Strategos Cunobelinus Arrhenides has added the desert oasis of the Ammonion to our Arche. The Glory of Megas Alexandros truly does shine upon us.

The Makedon Argead force besieging Pergamon assaulted and occupied the city, luckily no council members were present.

Construction: Sinope is having a Mega Phourion installed to keep order while Panaitolios Ankyrikos goes on campaign with the 1st Lydian Army to drive the Argeades off of Mikra Asia. No reports of completed works arrived this season, so local governors will have to inspect their own records.

Domestic Affairs: A diplomat has been called to service in Halikarnassos to call upon the Argeades to cease their senseless aggression. As they have assaulted one of our cities and have sizable forces on Lesbos prepared, we doubt that they want peace.

Taxation: adjustments have been made in Sinope-L, Hekatompylos-N, and Amaseia-H.

Treasury: 4206 m'nai (rebel adjustments to be added at end of turn, due to changes to be made by CDF in rebel thread)

True but orders in OOC thread can be missed when he(or any other chancellor in the future) takes the save. ~:)

good point.... it shall be in my SOT then.

Taking the Save. Done. Added 8302 to treasure (before turn end) to cover rebel upkeep. Moved Marsyas towards Alexandreia-Ariane. Moved Basileios' Hypaspistai toward RA. Moved Panaitolios and the 1st Lydian toward Pergamon and moved his reinforcements toward the army.

Chancellor's Report-Ending Winter 246 BC

Military: Recruited Thureophoroi, Peltastai, and Galatikoi Kluddolon at Ipsos, Sardis, and Ankyra respectively for the 1st Lydian Army. Recruited Pantodapoi for the garrisons at Alexandreia-Ariane and Propthasia. Apeleutheroi from Propthasia were disarmed and awarded their freedom for their support during the Persian uprising. Retrained Caucasian Archers at Mazaka and Prodromoi at Alexandreia.

Construction: Melathron Epitropou started at Apameia, and Diallage Enchorios was instituted at Ammonion. Repairs were also made at Ammonion, to the Walls, Drainage system and the Temple of Zeus-Ammon.

Taxes were lowered in Ammonion to attempt to foster goodwill among the residents, and to help ease their transition into Seleukid rule. There is still some disorder though.

Internal Affairs: An emmissary, Pausanias H. Parthikes contacted the Argeads at Mytilene with a very reasonable peace offer, unfortunately he was denied and insulted while the vile Argeads proceeded to move more troops onto our lands. Several men came of military age this season; Tryphon T. Pisidikes at Side, and Menelaos A. Mysiakes and Logbasis A. Syriakes at Sidon.

Intelligence: Our Spy in upper Aigyptos, Iason P. Mysiakes, is moving southeast to support Alexandros Syriakos on his campaign to the Elephantine coast. A large Makedonian Army, composed of Hoplitai and some other as yet unknown units under the command of Aristobolous Gonnios, has moved near Sardis and will likely besiege next season. Another larger army led by two captains, one with a detatched vanguard, is moving near Nikaia, or possibly Epeirote-occupied Byzantion. Panaitolios Ankyrikos could possibly be able to intercept the vanguard approaching Nikaia next season.

Treasury: 2364 m'nai (not including this turn's rebel expenses to be recovered-to be posted after rebel's moves)

Basileus Report, Spring 245 BCE

Antiocheia has been set as the capital again, as I have left Antiocheia to meet with the rebels. 1200 pantodapoi has been moved from Tarsos to garrison the city. 1210 Iudaioi Taxeis and 2420 pantodapoi phalangitai are marching from Hierosolyma as well.

Chancellor, hire 1 unit of Hippeis Thessalonikoi/Mistophoroi Thraikoi Hippeis/Curepos mercenaries for the Basileus Basilikos Stratos. (The Thessalonikoi are preferred - but if the money doesn't allow, go with The Thraikioi, and if we don't have mnai for that the Curepos.)

WotB-254-1-5

Taking the save

Done. Added 7602 upkeep recovery for last turn. Moved Marsyas along plotted route to Alexandreia-Ariane. Ordered elements of the 1st Lydian to join their commander slightly east of Nikaia.

Chancellors report, ending Spring 245 BC

Military: Released funds for the Basileios to hire 1 unit of Thessalikoi Hippeis. Recruited pantodapoi for the garrisons at Hibis and Pselkis.

Disbanded depleted units in some eastern garrisons as follows. Pantodapoi Phalangitai in Ekbatana, Hippakontistai in Persepolis, Thanvare Payahadag Mizdaghan in Propthasia,and Pantodapoi, Thanvare Payahadag, and Nizagan-i-Eranshahr in Asaak. These men were sucking up money without doing anything important.

The Makedonioi have besieged Sardis and moved to threaten Nikaia. Strategos Panaitolios Ankyrikos is within range of the army threatening Nikaia.

Construction: No new buildings are commissioned this season. Work has been completed on the following buildings: Damaskos-Agora, Edessa-Emporion, Susa-Megaron Epitropou, Ekbatana-Mega Phourion, Side-Choma Kapelikon, and Pselkis-Phourion.

Taxes: Dispolis Megale to Low, Sardis to High

Internal Affairs: We are officially at peace with the Epeirotai and trade has been re-established. There is rioting in the Ammonion, several buildings were damaged, and the unsavory elements in the town may incite a rebellion. I would humbly suggest that Strategos Cunobelinus send some men to keep order in the town, as there is not enough population of military age to form a garrison.

Foreign Affairs: The Chremonidean League(Koinon Hellenon) has signed an alliance agreement with our Romaioi allies, perhaps this can help us improve relations with them. Our agents report that our Baktrian allies are preparing to take on the Gandharan kingdom in far-off India, let us wish them luck.

Sarpedon Syriakos moved a bit east and Epikrates Tabaiou Persikou have retreated with his army near Arbela.

Other movements:
Moved Kleonemos towards Paraitonion.

Important notes:
Since Panaitolos Ankyrikos is just a Strategos Epilektos he can lead only 10 units. Currently he have more units under his command than allowed(13 units). This must be resolved in this turn.

Chancellors Report, ending Summer 245 BC
Military: No new spending this turn, as the treasury was empty. A small Makedonioi advance guard has moved to threaten Ipsos, and Sardis is still besieged by their main force. Zelys Lykikos, in his first engagement, defeated a large portion of the main Makedonioi force outside of Nikaia.

A lone unit of Pantodapoi Phalangitai outside of the Ammonion was intrecepted and defeated by a Ptolmaioi captain, but a slightly larger detatchment of Pezhetairoi and Pantodapoi Phalangitai drove them off into Ammonion. The defeated unit retreated to the fort in the area.

Construction: The (former?) rebel city of Arbela has completed a Melathron Epitropou. see above for spending

Internal Affairs: We are once again counted as the most advanced. The oasis of the Ammonion has rebelled against our rule and joined the Aigyptian desert rats, I will send a spy into the area this season to ascertain the composition of the garrison there.

There is a marriage proposal for the Basileios' daughter Rhogodune, the man isn't an utter fool, so I am allowing him to approach the Basileios to ask.

OOC:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

For I-K, the Babylonian Satrap ancillary needs to be removed from Hyakinthos Parthikos (in Babylon) and...

(this is probably more for TCV to answer) Is Epikrates continuing the rebellion? if not, WHY IN HELL DOES HE STILL HAVE AN ARMY? send his sorry behind to Mikra Asia if you're going to let him keep the troops...Lykikos could use some help over there.

Also, for I-K, you kan kill off Mikithion now, he's obviously not being used by whoever had him before. I kicked him out of my city.

Taking the save.
