This thread is for seasonal summaries of in-game events by the Chancellor and Basileus, and reports by the Strategos' on actions they have taken with the saved game.
Other than the Chancellor and Basileus, Strategoi should only post in this thread to say they are taking the save, to upload a new save, and to report whatever actions they have taken with the save.
Chancellor Report, Spring 272BC
There are no important news at this moment.
Our most eastern settlements near Saka and Baktrian borders are rioting. More than 600 people have died in those riots.
People in Hekatompylos are planning to rebel against our rule. Our newly pointed Satrap there should lower the taxes and hope for the best.
We are allied with Baktria, Hayasdan, Pahlava, Pontos and Makedonia. I have received letters that the first three actually are trying to brake their alliance with us and that they have already made such preparations.

OOC: You can take the save now. Post in this thread when you take the save. Please compress the new save before uploading it, and then post a link to the new save in a new post in this thread. Please summarize what you did with the save in that post.

Changed taxes in Sardis to very high, but left everything else as is. Note that Pontos has entered Kappadokia with an army. Do they have military access through our lands? Is this a belligerent move on their part?

Basileus and Chancellor Report, Summer 272
I used units from Ipsos and Sardis to create Lydian Army. They are stationed between those two towns under Captain Polianthes. They need two more units to be in their required strength. Theodotas Termessou Pisidikes should take command over them and build a fort there so I could send the rest of the units there in winter later this year.
Syrian Army has been recruited and are stationed north of Damaskos under Captain Timon. Aratos Arethousas Syriakes should move from Mazaka to Syria so he could take command over the army.
Kleronomous Basileion' Royal Army shall be gathered near Ekbatana where Theodoros Syriakos resides. His army is under Captain Omanes' command.
Parthian Army shall be gathered to Antiocheia-Margiane. I have sent some units from Prophthasia and Alexandreia-Ariana north. They should arrive to Margiane either spring or summen next year. They are commanded by Captain Hermogenes.
I have recruited some units to my Royal Army from Mesopotamian cities. They are commanded by Captain Dion at the moment.
Sent those 2 units that were with Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes back to Susa.
No Satraps Armies were recruited or have I started construction of any buildings since we don't have enough money.
Set the tax level to maximum in all cities
More serious news. Civil Revolts in Marakanda and Alexandreia-Eschate have thrown our garrisons out of the towns. Those garrisons were merged and are moving towards Antiocheia-Margiane.
There is a man of great potential in Antiocheia. The benefactor of that man is Achaios Syriakos. It's his decision whether he accept that man into his family or not.

Basileus Report, Autumn 272
Although it is said in the 'Rules' that Royal Armies have the priority over everything else I have allowed Regular Armies to be completed before the Royal Armies. The reason is that it would be logistically impossible to get those units from all corners of the Arche to get together for a royal Army. So I have recruited units for them only in Mesopotamia and surrounding towns.
Now, I am proud to say that Syrian Army and Lydian Army have been completed!
The First Syrian Army
4 Pantodapoi Phalangitai
Peltastai
Sphendonetai
Prodromoi
Hippakontistai
The First Lydian Army
3 Pantodapoi Phalangitai
Peltastai
Akontistai
2 Hippakontistai
Thureophoroi
The Commanders should keep the list in their SOT and after every battle they should mention whether they need replacement or retraining.
Parthian Army is almost finished. It needs just 2 more units to be in the required minimal strength.
Current units in Parthian Army: 1 Pantodapoi Phalangitai and 1 Persian Archer in Margaine; 1 Persian Archer-Spearmen unit under Captain Aribazos north of Margiane; 1 Pantodapoi Phalangitai, Arachosian Skirmisher Cavalry and 1 Madian Medium Cavalry under Captain Hermogenes south of Margiane.
My Royal Army have the following units at the moment: 2 Pandotapoi Phalangitai, 1 Shipri Tukul, 2 Eastern Slinger, 1 Toxotai, 1 Prodromoi.
My Heirs Royal Army have following units: 1 Persian Archer unit, 2 Pantodapoi Phalangitai and Eastern Slinger unit in Susa.

Chancellor Report, Autumn 272
Our diplomats have done some good work. They made a peace with Saka Rauka and signed trade rights agreement with them. We also sold them map information for 2500 mnai.
Another diplomat renewed our alliance with Baktria and we promised to help them against some Eleutheroi for their map information.
Since we lack the proper funds to build anything then no buildings have been constructed. How ever we did repaired the barracks in Hekatompylos since it didn't cost that much and we couldn't spend money to anywhere else.
Current treasure: 9630 mnai.

Basileus and Chancellor Reports, Winter 272
Moved my Royal Army west. It should get to Syria in the next 6-9 months(2-3turns).
Recruited missing infantry units to my Royal Army.
Syrian Army is near the Antiocheia-Tarsos border. Aratos Arethousas Syriakes can move them the way he wants.
As a punishment to Andromachos Syriakos I destroyed Pasargadai. It gave 2000 mnai to the treasure thus almost compensating the cost of those watchtowers.
I would like to have the permission to recruit 5 Pantodapoi Phalangitai and 1 Hippakontistai in Persepolis to the Satraps Army. I would also like if Andromachos Syriakos could count Eastern Slinger and Eastern Skirmisher units from Karmana as part of his Satraps Army.
Made Sarpedon Syriakos as my Heir. I will recruit units to his Royal Army while they are moving west.
Other news..
Made peace with Koinon Hellenon. We gave them trade rights and sold them map information for 2000 mnai.
Epirotes have conquered Pella from the Makedonians.
Antiochos Syriakos is taking part of the Babylonian New Years Festival.
OOC: Transfered the Satrapies ancillaries to Sarpedon. Unfortunately I made a mistake and transfered the Parthava ancillary to Lykikos and not to Lydikes. could someone fix that. I allow to use console for that. The right line would be this: give_ancillary "Phanias Laodikeiaslydikes" "satrapy_of_parthaya". Whoever going to do this should remove the ancillary from Polyxenidos Lykikos first. The right line for that would be remove_ancillary "Polyxenidos Lykikos" "satrapy_of_parthaya"

Moved Armies around. Both Royal Armies towards Syria.

There are rebels between Ekbatana and Apameia. Phanias Laodikeias Lydikes is allowed to use unit of Pandotapoi Phalangitai close to him to destroy those rebels. (Please post a at least a screenshot of the outcome of that battle!)
Makedonia requested assistance from Panaitolos Ankyrikos against Eleutheroi but I had to decline because I didn't find a way to save and let navarro951 to decide whether he want to accept or decline that.
I still ask Andromachos Syriakos the permission to recruit Pandotapoi Phalangitai to his Satraps Army from Persepolis. Also I remind him that Karmana is also part of his Satrpy.

Chancellor/Basileus Report, Summer 271
This year start with good news. Phanias Laodikeias Lydikes, Satrap of Parthaya, have been accepted to the Royal Family after his last battle against some brigands between the Ekbatana-Apameia road. His benefactor is Achaios Syriakos.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I moved the units that are supposed to be part of Sarpedon Syriakos' Royal Army under command of Timarchos Anaias Mysiakes so that he could destroy Rebel force near him. If he have done that he can escort those units towards Antiocheia if he want. If not then he must leave those units where they are after the battle.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
My Royal Army is under command of Captain Anaximbrotos. Attalos Pergamou Mysiakes is expected to take Command over them in this season. He can then proceed against Sidon. Spy have been positioned west of the city. At the moment there are just 3 units in garrison(Pandotapoi Phalangitai, Ioudaoi Taxeis and a unit who the spy were not able to identify)
Also, there is a small Ptolemaioi Army under command of Captain Stephanos south of Antiocheia. We suspect that they will go to Sidon.
I have sent the Parthian Army list to Bithys N. Parthiakes. Two units of Pantodapoi Phalangitai are still on their way to Margiane. They have to move across the Satrapy of Hekatompylos so I ask that Lydikes would allowed me to move them across the Satrapy myself.
Admiral Leon is near Side. I allow Aratos A. Syriakes to move them near Tarsos and use the fleet to go to Cyprus. If that is done then move the fleet to the nearest port(That would be Tarsos' port).
Pontic Heir, Ariobarzanes Kianos, is north of Ipsos. I assume he plan to go against Nikaia. If not and they attack Ipsos then Lydian Army have to leave Side and go to defend Ipsos.
Another news from the known world..
In west, Romanoi barbarians have made peace with the Arverni barbarians. Should we be concerned hearing such news?
Our last enemy, Ptolemaioi, is the strongest 'faction' in the known world. But looks like they are having some financial problems 'cause we've heard that they are bankrupt.
