[MerlinusCDXX]

Chancellor's Report Fall/Winter 264

Military: A unit of Pantodapoi were raised and installed into the garrison at Antiocheia-Margiane. Two units of Ioudaioi Taxeis were brought to full strength in Sidon. A severely depleted unit of Prodromoi were disbanded and allowed to return to their homes in Hekatompylos, they have been replaced by a unit of Parthian Horse-Archers. Our army besieging Sinope was attacked by a Pontic mercenary force and was victorious, the siege continues as planned. Ankyra has been captured by Kleronomos Sarpedon Syriakos!

Construction: Work has begun on Katiokiai grants for our military settlers in Pergamon. The drainage issues in Zadrakata were dealt with this season. In newly captured Ankyra, the defensive palisade has been repaired and Provisional Military Government established, while the old recuitment system has been dismantled, that we may establish a system more in line with our policies. Sardis has new facilities for City-State Festival, and Ipsos now boasts a game field.

Internal Affairs: Temporary tax relief in Zadrakata has been successful in quelling the recent unrest there, but more reports of unrest have surfaced, this time in Asaak.

Foreign Affairs: Reports filtering out of the East have the Pahlava occupying the former Baktrian town of Marakanda.

Intelligence: Our forward scout, Megasthenes Kardikikos is en-route to Epeirote-occupied Bithynia to keep us apprised of the situation there.

Chancellor's Report Winter 264/ Spring 263:

Military: Caucasian Archers were raised in Mazaka to serve in the Garrison at Amaseia.

A depleted unit of Dahae Riders has reached the end of their enlistment contract for the Parthavan Army, they were mustered out and replaced by a homegrown unit of Parthian Horsearchers at Hekatompylos.

All units of the 1st Lydian Army stationed at Antiocheia have been retrained to full strength and been issued improved equipment.

Sinope has been captured! Strategos Cunobelinus Gedrosianos defeated the pretender king of Pontos in single combat, in his inimitable Celtic style, and Pontos is now properly returned to the direct control of Basileus Antiochus.

Construction: Provisional Military Government was instituted in Sinope, and the remnants of the old Pontic government have been dismantled. Drainage problems in Propthasia were solved by digging a ditch system. We have assisted the Galatian people in rebuilding their Government center after liberating them from the Pontic despots, and a new King has been elected, subject, of course, to our Basileus.

This season, outfitting and recruiting has begun for trade route scouting parties at Sardis, and a Sanctuary of Asklepios was begun in Ipsos.

Internal Affairs: Let us congratulate Theodotas T. Pisidikes on his wedding to Nikaia in Side.

Taxes have been temporarily lowered in Asaak to quell unrest there. There is still substantial unrest in Sinope after the governmental turnover, so taxes have been temporarily lowered to allow the residents to rebuild their lives after the recent war.

Epigenes has been elected by the Galatian people to be their new King. The new administration in Galatia is friendly to our regime, and has signed an agreement of mutual support and unity of foreign policy.

Foreign Affairs: No news of note.

Intelligence: Our forward scout Megasthenes has dicovered that Epeirote-occupied Bithynia and Byzantion are heavily militarized. Magas, another scout, has been placed on our border with Hayasdan to keep an eye out and report any news of note there.

On our southern border, agents report that the detachment from the Hierosolyma garrison has joined forces with Aretas Rhakoditios, probably to make another attempt at bungling the siege of Sidon, as he is wont to do. More forces are approaching our border from Aigyptos.

Misc.: Moved Sarpedon Syriakos and Mikithon K. Phoinikes toward Sardis as requested. The Army, however, has been left in Ankyra to keep order during the elections for Rix ton Galatikon (King). I've managed to gain the services of a Tamias, formerly in the employ of Polyxenidos Lykikos of Babylon.

Just wanted to remind you SwissBarbar. I guess the save by Merlinus is still the one to take.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, the save that Merlinus posted is the valid one. Swissbarbar have to redo his moves when the Council Session is over and the save is officially declared open.

[The Celtic Viking]

Why don't we just close this thread while a session is still ongoing?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Good Point.

Thread Closed until new Chancellor is appointed.

Basileus' Report

Moved Antiochos and Royal Army south. Also, moved some units from Sidon towards Antiocheia.

I ask that 2 Caucasian Archers would be recruited in Mazaka. They are meant to replace Archers in Amaseia who should be sent to Sinope.

I also ask that Satrapeia HemiAutonomos is established in Sinope and in Damaskos Melathron Epitropou is built.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I put 2 RBG's into recruitment queue of Antiocheia and Edessa.

Chancellor report of Spring 263

Construction
Sinope will before the year is over have become a Satrapeia HemiAutonomos since the formation for such a government was started this season, while the governor of Damaskos will be getting a Melatron Epitropou as is needed for the continued growth of his city. In Ankyra the construction of a Syllogos Strateumatos has started to make it easier for warriors of our new allies to join our ranks.

The citizens of and around Halikarnassos now enjoys their Agridia which will feed more mouths. Further north-east, a didaskaleion has been finished in Hekatompylos, and a Diallage Enchorios is established in Alexandreia-Ariana.

Military
Two RGBs were recruited in Antiocheia as ordered by the Basileus himself, but the city also raised a new unit of Klerouchoi Phalangitai for Sarpedon Syriakos Royal Army, a streghtening his army will need against the elephants of Pyrrhos. A unit of Caucasian Archers in Mazaka and a unit of Akontistai in Side have been raised for the garrison of the newly conquered Pontic settlements.

Internal Affairs
With the homecoming of Sarpedon Syriakos and the festivities afforded to him for his glorious and victorious campaign against Pontos, taxes were raised in order to account for the expenses. Beyond that, there is not much to report.

Foreign Affairs
No news to report.

Intelligence
Spies near Byzantion have found out more about the garrison there. There are two units of elephants, of which the numbers are uncertain, and many Pezhetairoi, as well as a very few but experienced Hypaspistai, supported by Thraikian locals.

Misc.
Sarpedon Syriakos has come home to Sardis, together with Mikithion. Captain Ardrosthenes has taken a few units from Sarpedon's Royal Army towards retraining in his satrapy.
