Basileus' and Chancellors Reports

Took correct battle save, and here is the new save http://www.mizus.com/files/pbm/WotB-267-1-7.zip

I did not actually fight the battle, but retreated and am currently located near the other Liberators next to the rebel town. The Ptolemaic army is in control of the bridge. I looked at the army distributions for a while and decided that I could not win without suffering a significant amount of casualties.

Taking the save... Done!

Moved the Lydian Army to Ipsos for retraining. It also needs a replacement missile unit as the akontistai it had is now being used to garrison Halikarnassos.

Chancellor Report, Spring 267 BCE

Buildings
A few more buildings were started this season. Sardis, Salamis, Arbela and Mazaka all got simple drainages, while Zadrakata and Karkathiokerta both got plans for city-state festivals. In Babylon, a game field is being constructed, as well as a temple of Mithras in Hekatompylos and a wooden palisade in Gabai.

Further than the simple drainages who only took a couple of months to build, I do know that the preparations for few city-state festivals should have been finished, but I cannot tell where exactly, or if any more buildings may have been finished. This is because the reports were somehow lost.

Foreign affairs
There is not much to say. Alexandros Syriakes and Arrhenides Gedrosianos' stack was attacked by a large Ptolemaic army. Judging that they could not win the fight, or at least not without too great casualties, they decided to retreat, and the Ptolemaic force now holds the bridge.

Misc.
Most of the Lydian Army (one unit of akontistai still remains in Halikarnassos) has started it's march towards Ipsos*. The prodromoi and the Jews from my army has started their march towards Antiocheia for retraining, and my thureophoroi is just one march away from it's destination in Pergamon.

(OOC: Note that I haven't actually advanced a turn since Incitatus took it. This is just officially the first save in this season. The others are named for the last one.)
