Basileus' and Chancellors Reports

http://www.mizus.com/files/pbm/WotB-268-2-4.rar

Alexandros Syriakos and Arrhenides Gedrosianos have finally reached Syria Koile. Looks like the merger of their armies have done good for them. The Mysiakes Duo are north of Palmyra and looks like they will enter the Arche's territory again in the next season. Bithys Parthiakes' and Polyxenidos Lykikos' armies are in hearing distance. If everything goes perfectly then both of them might enter Syria Koile in the next season as well.

Added 8902 to the treasure.

Destroyed the barracks in Halikarnassos since we need the money. Got 600 mnai.

Alexandreia-Ariana is in red. They might riot!

Chancellor Report, Summer 268 BCE

The activity in the Arche stays on top for another season. A new government is being established in Pergamon, roads in Salamis, simple drainage in Ipsos and a temporary military government in Halikarnassos. The wooden palisade there has also been repaired.

The amount of finished buildings are perhaps even greater. The farmlands in Babylon have finished, and the populace there can quite literally reap the rewards now. Homes for our military settlers have also finished in Propthasia, which should improve the public order there. The governors house in Antiocheia-Margiane is finished, as is the small temple of Seleukos in Alexandreia-Ariana, which has once again put the inhabitants there at ease. There will be no rebellion there. Hekatompylos now has a wooden palisade to protect it from raids or worse and the sacred enclosure of Atargatidos is finished in Side. Last but not least, Sidon now has a government established, and the military government of Halikarnassos is in place.

In order to keep the peace in Halikarnassos, I had to go there myself, which necessitated lower taxes in Pergamon. To make up for it, I increased taxes in Salamis. However, I only did this out of necessity and as a temporary thing, so I would not have Theodotas Pisidikes just take off and leave me to deal with it! I would have a garrison in place first. Also, though you may have had good intentions, I would remind you that you do NOT have the authority to change the taxes. That is for me to do, or for any satrap that the settlement in question belongs to.

In other news, the Pontic army hasn't moved at all over the season. I still don't feel any need for fear, but keeping it in the back of our heads might be a good thing.

After last seasons good progress Arrhenides Gedrosianos and Alexandros Syriakos were confident that no one could catch them. They made only a modest progress in this season and their arrogance payd them back. Soon they noticed a dust cloud behind them and found out that Polyxenidos Lykikos had forced his men and they also managed to reach Syria Koile. To make things worse, news came from south that Bithys Parthiakes also arrived to the province and are actually the closest army to Hierosolyma. Also the news that the Mysiakes Duo is getting closer from north did not make Gedrosianos and Syriakos any happier.

Added 8902 mnai to treasure.

All Strategoi, who merged their armies, please PM who will be the person who will become the 'King' once Hierosolyma is taken! So, Arrhenides-Alexandros and Timarchos-Attalos, make your decision!

I ask that the Chancellor recruits 2 akontistai units in Antiocheia. They are for the Sidon garrison.

Moved the Parthian Army towards Zadrakata. Persian Archer unit should be recruited in Asaak. Also lowering taxes is a good idea.

*Added 2 RBG's to recruitment queue in Antiocheia for GMaximus*
