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

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.

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 ^^

The / means "of" so 2 of 4 etc., and not the percentage, but next time I load up the game I'll get exact troop numbers in the units for you. I'll update my SOT post often enough to let you know exactly what's going on, and if I feel a pressing need to have something retrained etc. I'll mention it in my turn report and my SOT post. And if you have any questions about my army's status you can always just ask me.

thanks alot all much appreciated!

Indeed, without Ibn, TinCow, and WoTB itself there would be no BtSH!

Guys, the computer I use for playing EB on died today, so I won't be able to do anything in game. I don't know how long this problem will last, either. Just thought I'd let you know.

While I'm unable to move Sarpedon and my RA, Arrhenides (Celtic Punk) will hold command of it. For now it should stay in Alexandria, though.
