I the tiger, am almost as strong as the lion, but use my cunning and wit to accomplish my goal. Speed stealth and surprise are my ultimate weapons. Not brute strength and fear. We prey on all animals!

[navarro951]

yo Ibn, i was just eyeing your avartars Bio after his death and i found it funny how sumtime in his last three years as an old man...you gained the "Casual Adulterer" trait. Late 60's and still gettin the ladies in multiple numbers?!? Ma man

Lol.
Well, he was Basileus, so getting 'ladies' was not a problem to him I think!

[navarro951]

Haha touche...touche indeed

The tiger neither belongs in the Savannah, nor does it even make any sense in this analogy! You would be a hyena by your description, but you're a gazelle by your actions.

This poll is only for players of Will of the Basileus.

Voting will be open for 48 hours, until 18:00 GMT on Sunday, January 4th.

Do we continue?

[The Celtic Viking]

No, we've come to the end of this game. This whole ordeal of voting one last time was just a scam by me and Ibn.

Seriously though, your quote kind of answers your own question. Are you in a hurry?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

The reason why the polls are still up is that I want people to get the chance to vote whether it changes anything or not is another matter.
If you don't vote then it will lower your activity and since I'm planning this Event where a person with higher activity have an advantage then I keep the poll open and let people vote.

Please do not equal my linguistic insecurity in english with stupidity. I know that my question would answer itself by the quote, what I meant was: Do we (or SHALL WE - maybe i translated it too directly from my native language) contiue NOW, its about time, that we did, because its an hour since the time is up and the thread is locked still - and NOT do we continue at all ! However, I just could not wait to fight some barbarians, that's no crime, is it.



Thanks for your answer IBN

You misunderstand my intentions. I was not trying to imply that you were stupid or anything, it was merely a joke which obviously came out wrong. I apologize for that.

In any case, the time is up tomorrow, not today.

[SwissBarbar]

In that case thats ok ;-)

[Celtic_Punk]

yeah dude, TCV and I are evil joke makers... watch yerself! lol

[SwissBarbar]

Yeah, I could not fail to note that

Question: Can the rank of a Satrap be combined with the Rank of Strategos Chreophylax. A Satrap has many rights in the council, f.e. he can propose an unlimited number of edicts ect. , the Chreophylax only could propose one. On the other hand the Chreophylax can build buildings in his Settlement, the Satrap only can require that this building will be built, if I got the rules right.

So if now a Satrap would be pronounced Strategos Chreophylax, does he have the ultimate rights of both Ranks?

Strategos Chreophylax can also only ask Chancellor to build some buildings in his settlement. He can not add buildings into his settlements build queue.

Satrap is more powerful than Strategos Chreophylax and this rank will give nothing to Satrap since he already have all that ranks powers and much more.

Edit: Added a line to Rules so things would be clearer.

Strategos Chreophylax
...
(2) Can set the build queue(Should be mentioned in the SOT) and tax rate for their settlement under their control.
....

[SwissBarbar]

Ok, thanks

[kingsnake]

Guys sorry for my inactivity I was and still am busy with my university applications

Nobody answered my question in the council. Can I combine my a Strategos Hetairos rank with a Chreophylax rank and keep my Hetairos bodgyguards in the garrison of the city I'm governing as a Chreophylax?

Yes you can combine them and you will keep those bodyguard units BUT you most likely can't command any Armies. In rules it's said that Chreophylax van lead max 10 units unless it's a Royal Army. But I doubt that TCV or Merlinus would want to localize their RA's into some province. The same goes for Regular Armies.

But as much as I know you don't have Strategos Hetairos rank since you have still 10 battle points.
Rules were changed so you need 15 bp's now.

Strategos Hetairos
Requirements: Must get 15 'battle points' (Rule 2.5)

[SwissBarbar]

Its me again, with further questions (I'm gonna bombard you with questions in this game ).

(6) Every Satrap will have a 8 unit army similar to Regular Army. Every Satrap should mention what type of army they wish: a) an Infantry army(5 infantry, 2 missile, 1 cavalry regiment); b) a Cavalry army( 2 infantry, 2 missile, 4 cavalry regiments); c) a Mixed army(3 infantry, 3 missile, 2 cavalry regiments). They can however get to recruit 1 local unit for every 2 Influence points and 1 local unit for every 3 Command stars.(The unit type of the additional units can be what ever the Satrap chooses)
(7) Satrap can lead an army of max 16 units unless it is a Royal Army.

So in addition to my Satrapial Army of Ipsos i may create 2 local units (local means units, which can be created in Ipsos), right? MAY I request the basileus, who also is the chancellor, to recruit these units for me in another city, in order not to conscript 20 % of the phrygian population?

Those units must be available in YOUR Satrapy and the local does mean every unit you can recruit(both factional and regional) there. These units can not be recruited somewhere else. Also, you MAY request those units but you don't have to use that power.

[SwissBarbar]

Well, I could use a unit of heavy Infantery to cover the one flank, that is not covered by the Galatikoi Kluddolon (depends on the last unit for my Satrapial Army that TCV creates) or 1 more unit of Sphedonetai against heavy infantery or Klerouchoi Phalangitai to strenghten the core. But in that case i'll wait till my town has enough inhabitants so they can be recruited there.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Or you could sit in Ipsos and get some management points so you could ask another settlement to be added into your Satrapy.

[SwissBarbar]

^^, ok, thats a good idea too

[kingsnake]

Ok thanks Ibn

Yes I know my character isn't hetairos I'm just thinking ahead :)

[The Celtic Viking]

WotB-260-3-2 (Is this really meant to be 260-3-2 , because it is Summer... i thought this would be season 2.)

That is... strange. Very strange indeed. Going back the saves I find no fault. There's the 260-1 which was given before the session and I know was spring, then there's the 260-2 which was the next in order and so it should definitely be 260-3 now. If the traits doesn't show that it's autumn now, I don't know what's wrong.

[navarro951]

i have had that happen before, regarding the season, i donno either but don bother it is 260-3 if you change it would mess things up as even tho it shows summer, when you end the turn it will indeed be winter.

I have never seen this myself before, but I'm glad to know everyhing is as it should be.* Thanks.

*EDIT: Well, err, I mean that no mistake was made and it's no permanent or serious bug had happened.

[navarro951]

ya no prob in fact when i first started the BtSH save it did that too and it messed with my head haha

[SwissBarbar]

I also did never see this. Thanks for the information. Strange things happen in the East ^^
