Basileus' and Chancellors Reports

[The Celtic Viking]

Chancellor's Report, Spring 261 BCE

Buildings
New inhabitants are being brought into Nikaia to replace the unwanted people, in an effort to create a loyal Satrapeia Seleukeia. It has also been decided that Pergamon needs a new armoury and thus the construction of a Syllogos kai Skeuotheke has been ordered. In Zadrakata it is hoped that a new Naiskos Mithrou will keep the people in check. They are getting unhappy with our rule. Ankyra will get a Naiskos Atargatidos.

A Diallage Enchorios has been established in Byzantion. Military settlers have been brought and settled in the new katiokiai in Asaak and Side, while the Satrapeia HemiAutonomos is finished in Hierosolyma.

Military
A klerouchoi phalangitai has been raised in Antiocheia to replaced losses in Sarpedon's Royal Army.

Internal affairs
Sarpedon has assaulted and taken Byzantion! The inhabitants have been enslaved, and the taxes set on low. A battle report will come.

Nikanor has now assumed command over the 1st Parthian Army.

Antiochos Syriakos has died of natural causes! Sarpedon Syriakos is the new Basileus!

Foreign affairs
No news to report.

Intelligence
Spies have been sent down into Aigyptos. Alexandreia is lightly garrisoned with 244 Pezhetairoi, 122 Klerouchon Agema and 80 Toxotai Kretikoi.

There is also a small Ptolemaic band waiting by the docks in Heptanomis. Reports say no more than 2-3 units led by a general, who's name we have been unable to ascertain.

Spies have also been positioned outside of Petra, showing a light Arabian garrison.

Misc.
Arrhenides has been moved towards Byzantion and will get there next season. Phormion has been moved towards Persepolis and Aratos towards Antiocheia where he will arrive next season. The 1st Parthian Army under Nikanor has been moved towards Petra.

The SPQR are now counted as the most advanced faction.

Taking ze save...done

Moved Panaitolos Ankyrikos and 1st Lydian Army to Byzantion, but cannot fit inside its walls as Sarpedon's RA is stationed there.

OOC: TCV, when you take it can your RA be moved out and can you put my army in for me?

Done, gathered RA units in fort next to Hierosolyma, moved Panto. Phalangitai for Lydian Army outside of the fort next to Hierosolyma as requested, and moved depleted Prodromoi toward Seleukeia. The units left for reassignment are in the fort near the Sinai border (2 Toxotai and 2 Ioudaioi).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I could only get the path set on the Phalangitai as far as the bridge outside of Antiocheia, so when they get there someone will have to set another route to get them to Byzantion. I've set the path on the Prodromoi so they'll get all the way to Seleukeia (in case they get overlooked for some reason)

[SwissBarbar]

IF you end this turn before tonight, please would someone move my character - Nikarchos Asterias Syriakes - towards Ipsos?

Done, moved 1 unit of Prodromoi (understrength) to directly west of Apameia, they are headed toward Seleukeia for retraining and reassignment by Basileus Sarpedon. See SOT.
