Anyway, call me positively surprised, then. I was sure that we'd get AC screwed there.

Quite surprised as well. I was expecting us to lose. I was disappointed when I saw the AI initiate battle right away, but we've got a little breather. Don't expect it to last though.

Ashurnasirpal II - You can decline those suitable husbands because if they are not accepted right away then later when you want to accept them then they die.

Alright I'll do that. But should I accept them in the future?

I suggest anybody with a daughter/sister of marriable age set some points on who they'll accept. eg not older than 30, must be Makedone, not dull etc.

Never mind, look away, nothing to see here...

I asked in the council thread and didn't get a reply. Silence = Implied consent. :wink: Won't happen again.

Can the Basileious move my guy to the Holy Land while I'm gone? I give him permission.

If possible, I also give him permission to use my gunds to purchase some men to supplement my general to take a settlement.

TCV - I think you forgot to upload the save?

edit: Oh.. the battle took place during the AI turn..

Yeah, it's currently in Ash's hands, awaiting full Chancellor report.

TCV - Did you occupy Damaskos? Need this to calculate the income.

Yes, I did. It gave a twohundred-something number; maybe I should have taken note of it. :shame:

Edit: realized that I had the save from just after the battle but before the occupation. Seems it was 203 mnai.

If there were no casualties(civilian ones) in Damaskos then it doesn't matter.

I posted the save kinda late today because of the battle that had to be fought. Tomorrow I'm out of town all day. I'll try to end the turn in the morning before I leave, but there'll be no report. If I see anything major, I'll just leave it as is, and change it in the evening / next day.

So what kind of units can we recruit privately? Only that which is available from the buildings?

The rules don't seem to set any limits, so I imagine we can recruit mercs if we want. Cue everybody sailing off to Cape Whatever it's called just south of Sparta.

We've asked some very specific questions in the Royal Treasury thread. I hope IK goes through the exact rules, if any, soon. I want a delicious army.

Yes, you can recruit them. For you it's much easier to sail there since you own the Trireis fleet! ~;)

Really? I thought it would have come under the control of Ash.

Trireis were recruited with private funds. Upkeep is payed using the private funds. That makes it a private unit. Since you payed the initial 1500 mnai and are named in the Law E1.2 then you will control/own that fleet. Whether you allow Ash to use it is up to you.

Keep in mind that the entire council pays for its upkeep and will be understandably upset if you start using it for transporting Cretan pottery to your estate. ;)

I'd be more interested in the archers than the pottery...

I'm going to find another partner for plan "overthrow Tyrranical Celtic Viking" if you can't keep quiet about our plans for bringing the army in in pots...
Next you'll be letting on about bringing the Thessalian cavalry hidden in rugs. :stare:


:clown:

Where is our chancellor with that report, I've a battle to fight. :smash:

Sorry got sidetracked :oops: Posting it in a few minutes!

That's it! I'm banning all pottery and rugs! Also, all men who refuse to identify themselves and carries "Death to TCV!" banners.

And I just ordered new tunics with "Death to TCV!" written on the backs.. Oh well..

Hah! Make that into a brand name and give me 50% of the profits and those are okay. ~;)

Sorry everyone. :bow: It looks like I no longer have a functioning RTW disc to play on. I'll have to drop out for now. The heir should go to someone who has the time to be more active anyway. When I can get back in I'l try with someone a little lower ranking. Hopefully by then I'll have lost some of the hotseats I'm in. :clown:

Sorry to hear that, Zim. Would it help at all if I had the Margrave take you out of V&V? ~;)

Now, if I need to elect a new heir, well... let the auction begin!

I'd rather think we need a player for Euergetes. Maybe one of the current players can switch avatars? Or find someone new?
