Perhaps we should ask TC's support and perhaps we could add some of them to the Guild awards?
Just like he said: Most helpful player in Throne Room, Best Roleplayer, Best Story..
This could help both of the games(LotR and WotB) and perhaps even any new games that people want to set up at the moment.
We might get more interest this way!
Or what do you think?
@TCV - Timarchos have never been a Satrap! :beam: I think you meant Andromachos. ~;)
Howdy guys.
Well as you can tell I am new here so forgive me if I make any mistakes in forecoming turns. At the moment I am reading through the whole history thread of the Empire. After that I wil get cracking on my introduction story which I hope to have finsihed by the start of the new turn.
I was wondering how my avatar goes about owning a settlement or become involved in an army. Do I just post in the Royal Council thread untill I get noticed or do I have to make some PM's.
Gah! I've never been good with names, and I was in a hurry when I wrote that, so what with the endless amount of "-chos-es", it was easy for me to mix them up. :shame:Quote:

Otherwise you have to become either a satrap or the basileus himself, which is obviously harder to do. Both are appointed by the Basileus.
To get involved in an army should be no harder than asking the commander of one if you can tag along - unless you've given him an IC reason to reject your character, he probably won't say no to an extra unit of heavy cavalry for free. You can do that in the Council. (I suppose you can do that in the Agora as well, though it's pretty much unused so far. A PM is fine as well.) To command an army you must be assigned as the commander by the army's owner. To own an army you need to become a satrap, the heir or the Basileus himself.
:gah: Am I needed at all?? TCV explained it a lot better than I ever could have!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
But yeah.. everything he said is true. This Strategos Chreophylax rank was created for those who can't lead an Army but want to do more than just tag along with someone. Also, he can leave from the settlement to fight against brigands and stuff but he can not leave from the province.
OK, thanks for clearing that up, just waiting on a reply in Royal Council.
Sounds like an idea, anything to promote the game can only be good.Quote:

Sry, I forgot to do that when I first updated the Library and after that haven't got time to do it. :shame:Quote:

@ I-K the new save you posted is the winter turn still the current one or is it too late to make my moves?
Thanks I-K.:2thumbsup:Quote:

ya chancellor will take the turn last, Basileus takes turn generally second to last, and only chancellor can end the turn.Quote:

You are not the governor of Edessa (that is, you have no actual control over the city), and you don't have the authority to do any of these changes. Both will be cancelled once I take the save.Quote:

Yes, no worries, I know. I was just pointing it out. ~:)
It's not possible to make Basileus and Chancellor being the last ones to take the save. There is something called "Real Life" that does not allow it. Although, I'm trying to be one of the last one who take the save I always can't.:shame:Quote:

That's true. But it would be much easier that way because the Chancellor can get what ever recruitment/retraining info from Basileus' Report and don't have to check his SOT for that.
Personally I prefer to have it all in the SOT as I have to check it for the rest anyway and it's easier to have everything in the same place, but it's no big deal.
By the way, I suppose I'm not to raise more pantodapoi in Hierosolyma and Ant-Mar, since you haven't updated it since 2 days ago and you usually say "raise x units of y where" when you want more than one. Correct?
In Hierosolyma you should raise one but not in Ant-Marg
Edit: I have updated my SOT.
Hey, I broke my Rome disk so if any person who takes the save can move me towards Persepolis that would be great! Thanks.
Just out of curiousity, who stole one of my ancilliaries? I just checked the updated card for my character and one appears to have gone.
