yeah, I guess so ^^ you can visit me in Ipsos *G*

[Potocello]

haha I think i will ^^

I have a few questions about the Stretegos. In the rules it says that it can command an army of 8 units or less. Does this mean that I can start recruiting this army? Or is it given to me like in BtSH?

thanks in advance

[SwissBarbar]

It's like in BtSH. Actually BtSH is referring to the WotB Rules

Welcome back Potocello!

No, you can't recruit any units at all at this point. You have to be Chancellor (and have permission from the Basileus), a satrap or a Chreopylax (sp?) to do that (and only in the case of Chancellor can you actually add it to the recruitment/building queue, otherwise you have to write it in your SOT).

The "can lead an 8 unit army" thing simply means that if you are appointed to lead an army, you can command up to 8 units, but no more than that. So, for example, you can't command my full Royal Army because it is more than 8 units strong.

[SwissBarbar]

TCV is right, except for 1 tiny point: you could lead his royal army anyway, if he'd allow it, it's the one exception mentioned in the rules

[Potocello]

ok thanks for the info!

Yes, he could lead a Royal Army but not Satrapal Army because those can be larger than 8 units(if Satraps use their influence correctly )

*cough* *cough* some very foxy Satraps wait for their cities to grow to the next level, before they request the training of more soldiers for their armies

You mean the same kind of foxy satraps who just continue what ex-foxy-satrap-now-foxy-Basileus already had started for them?

[SwissBarbar]

you got it ^^
