I was became one by my heroic sally's saving memphis. So do i get 4 bodyguard units?

I did some calculating. If you got your rank in Memphis then you have the right for 2 units from there. TCV's penalty (-6 bp's) did not lowered your Bp's below 15.
And, no, you will not get 4 units. Whenever you lose your rank you will loose those units as well.

[Celtic_Punk]

but the King cannot take your units away from you. That would fall under that clause in the rules. If they did fall beyond 15 that would mean that the King is taking them away, and would therefore be in breach of the Charter.

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, in any case a Hetairos can only have 2 bodyguard units, and this isn't changed by someone losing and then regaining the rank. You don't get a +2 bodyguards for gaining the rank, you simply get a set maximum amount of 2.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

but the King cannot take your units away from you. That would fall under that clause in the rules. If they did fall beyond 15 that would mean that the King is taking them away, and would therefore be in breach of the Charter.

If you loose your rank (Strategos Hetairos) then you become Strategos Epilektos and thus you can not have any special units with you.
The Basileus can not take those units away from you or do anything with them as long as you are Strategos Hetairos.
So, try to keep your rank and also, tell us what units you want?

Another thing. Could someone please tell me what units does Aratos' Satrapies Army have?

[Celtic_Punk]

I've got a bodyguard recruited already. It's currently stationed with my Son till I call upon them. I'll get a list to you ASAP.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Kleonemos stands..

First of all.. I am happy to get out of the desert.

Secondly, we need a new Satrap in Mikra Asia. Someone who could defend us against all of our enemies in west. And that someone is .. me!

Thirdly, what shall we do with Makedonia? I highly doubt they would just give Pergamon back to us. They know that they have an upper hand currently in this war. They have enough men to attack Halikarnassos, Ipsos, Sardis and take them without suffering too big losses in manpower!

Oh.. and those rebels in Mesopotamia?! We should slay them all!

Kleonemos takes his seat..

, I am glad I merit one line of mention in the council. I am surprised you guys haven't gotten rid of me yet, I am screwing up everything! If I hadn't rebelled then the royal army could have went north to Perganum already, and half of the disasters you have all went through would have never happened.

Arent civil wars great!

[Celtic_Punk]

Lol I dont think sarpedon will forget you so easilly. I think he's going crazy, and Hilaron is trying to get power in his absence. Someone should deal with Hilarion.

[The Celtic Viking]

Almost correct. If you need to know, Hilarion has actually murdered Sarpedon already, and that's why he can't attend. Whenever "Sarpedon" leads his army, it's really just Hilarion dressed up in his skin.

But remember, this is said OOC, so you can't use it IC.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Lol!

[Celtic_Punk]

I knew something was up when you wouldn't supply my wanton conquest of the Desert... Cunobelinus digs the turban(he aparently likes foreign people). haha

[Nole4694]

Stratogi have a say in the Royal council right?

[Incitatus]

Yes, of course.

[Celtic_Punk]

the greek has decided to call hilarion out on his ill treatment of everyone's favourite Celt

[The Celtic Viking]

Hilarion is left confused as to how he has treated me wrong.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Hilarion turns to some of the scribes in the Council. ([OOC] read the GM.[/OOC])

"It is to my understanding that edict 9.1 can't be passed, since it is the Basileus alone who appoints satraps and satrapies, and they cannot be inherited. Unless I am mistaken, it is thus impossible to have an edict that would effectively hand over a satrapy to a different man."

Actually, the way this Edit is proposed(I think it's just a coincident) there is no word that would mention that Cunobelinus will become Satrap. He will still stay an Aid but can recruit/build what ever he wants. He does not receive Satraps influence or power to propose unlimited number of edicts etc. If this edict would've been proposed differently I would've been against it.

Although I seconded it, I must say that a certain time should be added(until kingsnake is back or the next 3 years) to that edict.

[The Celtic Viking]

My objection was completely IC (Sarpedon doesn't trust Cunobelinus, and wish to stop it that way), so you should probably answer it in the Council. OOC I have no problem with it.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

And I thought that you were against it OOC because of that GM mentioning.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

things heat up once again! This game is starting to get really interesting.
what stinks is I am alone to enjoy it. Everyone is away till June 12, Mini can only be on every once in a while, and iskander had to quit PBM's. I need some recruitment schemes.....

[Ibn-Khaldun]

things heat up once again! This game is starting to get really interesting.

Yes, it is. But you can't be part of these heated arguments in the Council since you are rebel. ~;P

EDIT:

and iskander had to quit PBM's. I need some recruitment schemes...

That would leave only 2 people on your side CDf. This also means his character will be open. I'll change Library tomorrow.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I know, very annoying...... I have so many snide comments to make.....

[Celtic_Punk]

why did iksander have to quit?

WHERE IS KINGSNAKE DAMNIT!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Does not have the time, for now I have to fly solo.

[MerlinusCDXX]

No one has to do anything, Iskander's character died in the rioting anyways.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

which was kind of disappointing. and anticlimactic.

[The Celtic Viking]

How many management points does Arrhenides have?

[Celtic_Punk]

used to have one. Now its disappeared. which is retarded. In any case, He delegates tasks rather than directly figuring out maths stuff. (which is what you are supposed to do)

we should keep the satrapy. Its still a valid satrapy, The satraps just need to change.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I know what you mean, I have had the gloomy trait for about 3 years now, and it has basically meant I cant get any damn influence! And now I am a warmonger, so I basically will suck at ruling anything for the rest of my life!

[Celtic_Punk]

same... Which is why i don't pay much mind to ingame traits. My character has developped much differently. I mean he has 1 command, but he's never lost a battle, and has beaten battles so stacked against him that he should have like 6-10 command. He also hates slaves, but i have a slave trader retinue (WHICH NEEDS TO BE TIED UP WITH PIANO WIRE!!! HELLOOOOOOO)

[The Celtic Viking]

Then you can't be the satrap of this satrapy regardless. You need to have at least 2 management points to have 2 settlements as a satrap, anything less and you can only have one.

Ibn, if Arrhenides becomes the satrap, can I get to choose which settlement the satrapy will lose?

[Celtic_Punk]

I think if the man has no management influence should be used instead. does this make sense? I mean it's possible for a satrap to delegate tasks so he is not burdened with skills and tasks that management points cover. Influence makes sense because teh more settlements under his control would require enough influence to keep happy and such anyway. (plus the ability to convince people to do the maths work and such)
