so what are we going to do about the capital? although I am quite happy to allow all the arches administrators enterance to our little "realm" (leavings another matter however)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Capital should be moved now. This will cause a lot of problems in east. Also, capital can be moved but Sarpedon must be present in that city.

(10) Can move the Capital at any time, as long as the new Capital is controlled by the Basileus.

If people wanted to spice up this game then they have succeeded.

After the capital is moved by TCV then whoever(currently MerlinusCDXX) ends the turns should pay attention to towns that might rebel to Eleutheroi. They may cause CTD but they don't have to. Although, I think you all know that.

[MerlinusCDXX]

Good point, I-K, but I think I have a decent "tax margin" on most places east to prevent ctd-rebellions. But, for the love o' the gods, try to convince TCV to go to Edessa and make it the Capitol, cause if I have to severely lower taxes everywhere East of Susa, we r gonna be BROKE, lol.

[The Celtic Viking]

Do I really have to be present in the city? Do I not control the settlements neither the rebels nor the satraps own well enough?

If not, you have no choice but to change it to Antiocheia for now. Please do so for me, because I can't be running away without my army in the middle of a civil war.

By the way, I want my hypaspistai trained! Please move them to Alexandreia and do it next time you take the save.

TCV, do you want me to reset the Capitol and send the Hypaspistai off to Alexandreia for retraining? I wasn't sure if you were talkin' to me or I-K. Are you still having the comp problems you mentioned a while ago, and unable to make your moves?

no hurry for the reply though, since I won't be taking the save for another 12 to 18 hours.

[everyone]

rather strange isn't it? a rebellion is supposed to cause a loss of income, but with around a full stack of units being a 'rebel army', it means the burden of upkeeping it is removed from the normal income, and the rest of the arche gets around 7k more mnai per season, than if there was no rebellion.
not that I don't like it.

[The Celtic Viking]

The irony is sweet, huh?

I can take the save and do moves myself, but not with the computer supposed for it. I'm using my laptop as a backup, and I don't want to take the save when I don't have to because of that. So, well, yes, please do that for me. I should've been more clear about it.

Yes, you have to be present.

I know this system is not perfect but I just did not know how else I have to solve this money problem( Gah! Money always cause troubles! ).

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Just thought that I would point out that it's time for another Council Session. This should give Sarpedon an upper hand in his war against rebels since they can not vote or do anything in Council. They can however make their declarations and give speeches in Agora.

[MerlinusCDXX]

Hey, I-K, I've been kind of off the schedule here for a bit, is it time for the council this turn or in the next few? (need to know how many turns to end before closing the save)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

It's this turn - Spring, 248BC

[MerlinusCDXX]

Hey, can anyone upload the WotB mod installer somewhere? I had to re-install my OS and lost the backups I made. The mediafire link is dead.

nice, thanks.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

uhhhh, I am back. And god am I tired.... think I might sleep a few days, so library might take a while to get done. I now have a much greater respect for USA army officers....
apparently the first year at west point is like hell....

I wish we actually had a declaration, what are we going to say Join the rebellion we have no money and a huge army eating all our income!!!! heh... fun times, fun times...

[The Celtic Viking]

Hey, if you do it before Monday, could you take screenshots of the family tree? No need to make it into one picture, just so I can see who is where.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah actually, as soon as MerlinusCDXX takes the save I will make my moves, take a few pics of the whole family tree (I will try and put it together, but I don't know). and get the library together. all rested up!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

CDf - You have to update your Kingdoms finances as well to help Merlinus. I think you haven't done it in this turn.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

well, Upkeep hasn't changed, and we don't actually get any money for another 10 turns, so I wasn't sure what to change? or do we get the money, but just cant spend it?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes you still get the money what is left after upkeep. You just gather it so that once you can build/recruit then you have the money for it.

Also, in the rules there is this point:

The amount of starting money the Rebel will receive will be determined by Ibn-Khaldun.

I planned to use Influence for it but since Patrokles didn't had any then I forgot to mention that before.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ohhh, ok will update it then. yeah, my influence kind of stinks, so what do you think the starting treasury should be. I would think having access to the former capitol of the arche would be a plus, but then again I am a biased .

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I would've used: 1 Influence= 2500 mnai

More Influence= more contend people= more money= more soldiers

Sarpedon should hope that Aratos wouldn't turn against him!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

that makes sense, hey Ibn, does destroying buildings add money to rebel treasury?
and how are we going to handle PVP sieges? also during a PVP is it possible to withdraw?

[Celtic_Punk]

ibn, you would do well to be quiet...

for no reason... *shifty eyes*


note to self, help TCV bomb estonia

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Wow how completely unsuspicious

[mini]

why dont we just loot some arche cities cdf? ;P

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Actually my army is outside of edessa right now, knocking on their doors! (I am not Besieging it yet however, so no battle)
And TCV, will get that family tree to you today, as soon as we finish painting the kitchen.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

OK, bit late with it, but here is the tree (split in two parts)

Still formatting it, but for now that about it.

[The Celtic Viking]

Thanks.

By the way, I saw Che: Part One today, and it reminded me of this game and your little rebellion. It really made me love my position as the evil emperor even more.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

hey TCV, I was going to write a story from Liatus's point of view, so is Liatus under house arrest or in the big scary dungeon?
