Game Master Note:

The distribution of PAs and PBs for each term is supposed to be determined by the ranks as they were during the last election. However, I did not keep a backup list of that state of the game and since then the feudal structure has changed dramatically and cannot be accurately re-created. For obvious reasons, Northnovas also does not know what the exact makeup of the feudal structure was like during the last election. For these reasons, we cannot properly distribute the PAs and PBs for this term.

As a result, and in the absense of a better option, I am declaring the current state of the feudal structure to be the one which will be used to determine the allocation of PAs and PBs for the remainder of this term. Please accept my sincere apologies for this situation. I will be sure and store a backup of the feudal structure during each normal Senate session from now on, to prevent this from ever happening again.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Clear Defeat.

Turks just did not want to cross the river!

Report for 1174

Senators,

I have been asked to step in for Basileus Komnenos has he prepares for the invasion of Italy. I humble submit my briefing for the year

Recruitment:

The Army issue and buildings will be sorted out shortly. There were some militia Units created in the towns with low garrisons and the taxes were adjusted. Trebizond and Sinop reduced.

Construction:

Again the PB issue will be sorted there wa some necessary construction for the economy. Antiokheia received commission to erect a grain exchange.

Taxation:

The Treasury is at a deficit though minor. Do to unrest the taxes were lowered because of the unrest. We must look at rebuilding our economy.

Diplomacy:

The Diplomat Panaretos sold some maps to the Milanese for a small sum but it kept the relations to appreciative. Another diplomat has been recruited in the capital and will be send north west according to the current Edict.

Hot Issues:

The City of Durazzo has been besieged by the Venetians.
The City of Alexandria is in a state of unrest the citizens are very unhappy and there is a large Rebel Army close to the city limits causing further agitation.
A large Rebel Army is marching south on the road to Athens.

Military Campaigns:

The war in the west is slowly progressing. Basileus Ioannis is with the fleet and should be on the Italian Peninsula shortly with his army. We need to look at some artillery and upgrading our army if were are looking to war with the western factions. We have no suitable location to build siege equipment at the present time.

I must admit that I was shocked at the state of our Eastern Borders. I was led to believe that the Sultanate were on their last legs. They are in control of Aleppo and appear to be ready for another offensive. Our commanders in the East should evaluate and rectify the situation. The necessary supplies will be given for the war effort.


That concludes the year's report.

Interim Megas Logothetes Aleksios

New Save:

Open window there is an adoption benefactor Ioannis Katakouzions(Kagemusha) though I believe he is inactive. I didn't realize whose avatar till after the save.

Report for 1176

Recruitment:

The garrisons in Antiokhea and Alexandria were reinforced. Recruitment in Zagreb.

Construction:

The castle upgrade in Dardanellia has been completed. Town Hall started in Trebizond. A chapel consructed in Solomeia.

Taxation:

Some minor adjustments running a small deficit. Spending will be reduced to increase the treasury for larger capital projects. A merchant was recruited but the unrest in Egypt may have an impact on our trading routes. We have an excellent merchant class brining in signiifcant revenue and the opportunity to expand our economy.

Diplomacy:

Our diplomat is in French territory but they were not interested in any map exchange at the moment. Our newest diplomat is heading north to speak with our Hungarian neighbours. Diplomat Tarontis purchased a map from the Sicilians to view their territory.
The Milanese attacked the Sicilians and we had to decide which alliance to keep. Our history decided and we remained allies with the Sicilians. There was concern for the Basileus and his fleet and I didn't want to jeopardize the landing in Italy if the Sicilians were our enemies.

Hot Issues:

The City of Antiokhea has been beseiged by the Sultanate.
The City of Kosmopolis has rioted and on the fringe of being lost there were 13 soldiers killed in the newly formed militia units. 650 citizens have been killed.

Faction Announcements:

Magentos the Bastard is reportedly affect by scurvey from voyage at sea. Their was a proposal of marriage to Rosanna Mavrozmis from Ioannis Chrysoloras who was nothing more then a common begger and had no qualifications to be in the Royal Family.

Military Campaigns:

In the west the Venetians have pulled back to their borders and may be heading north to HRE territories. Durazzo is still beseiged and Ragusa looks it could be taken thus removing the pimple on the Adriatic eastern costal banks. Unfortunately, we do not look to be in a position to take advantage of this situation at the present moment.

In the east the Sultanate have pressed further and besieged another city. The troops were reinforced and hopefully the Duke Aleppo will prevent another city to be lost to the Seljuk. Will he be able to recapture his homelands back from the enemy. Who will take the initiative and secure the Holy Land?

The new save:

( I just realized the time and if I go consecutive evenings it will keep pushing the time to the early hours. Wilkl extend it past the 24; its the weekend if any of the siege breakers need more time let us know.)

Broke siege of Antiokheia. Clear victory. Bart got his first command star!
