Report

Moved Kybiosaktes and Karikas towards Antiochos' camp. Also moved MY RA units to Antiocheia for retraining(better weapons/armour).

The Chancellor should recruit 2 Infantry units to the Lydian Army since it is currently under strength. I suggest 1 Kleurouchon Phalangitai from Antiocheia and 1 Pandotapoi Phalangitai from Sidon.

Mazaka and Antiocheia had Automanage turned on! Removed them.

Also, 2 Caucasian Archers should be recruited in Mazaka for Amaseia garrison.

Chancellor's Report Summer/Fall 264;

Military: Kleruchoi Phalangitai were raised in Antiocheia and Pantodapoi Phalangitai were raised in Sidon, which is besieged again by Aretas Rhakotidios of the Ptolemaioi.

Caucasian archers were raised in Mazaka, to be installed in the Amaseia garrison. The units from the Basileus' Royal Army currently located in Antiocheia were re-equipped with improved armor.

Persian archers from the Hekatompylos garrison were retrained to full strength.

Construction: Basic farms have been started in Halikarnassos, and the drainage problem in Antiocheia-Margiane has been solved, work was started at the beginning of the season and was completed by the end.

Internal Affairs: Our military might is unequalled in the known world! Let us all welcome Nikarchos A. Syriakes into the Royal Family, he has been sponsored by Alexandros Syriakos.

Taxes were temporarily lowered in Ekbatana (high) and Antiocheia-Margiane (low). The people there are still unhappy, perhaps they need a larger temple? Reports of discontent are also surfacing from Zadrakata.

Foreign Affairs: An emissary from Lusotanneia? has just been seen near Ipsos, perhaps they wish to open diplomatic relations with us, though they haven't made any overtures as of yet. Hopefully they aren't complete barbaroi, though sending an emissary instead of a raiding party is a hopeful beginning.

Intelligence: The captain-led Pontic detatchment has headed towards Sinope, it consists of Thessaloi Hippeis, Karians, peltastai and Galatioi levies, 6 units in all.

3 units of infantry have detatched from the Ptolemaic garrison at Hierosolyma, leaving a total of 2 there, no other activity besides the siege of Sidon has been reported in the area.

A large army from Hayasdan is near our new border in Kappadokia Pontike, though they have been respectful and did not cross it, I believe this is the same army that assisted Nikarchos in fighting those rebels.

Battle Report follows.

[The Celtic Viking]

Chancellor Report, Autumn 263 BCE

Buildings
Planning has begun for regular festivities in Pergamon and Mazaka. Because of the instability in Zadrakata we have also begun building Katiokai, homes for military settlers to come and suppress the populace.

Military
The peltastai unit from Sarpedon's army has been retrained in Sardis, as has the units in Antiocheia.

Internal affairs
A Pahlavan army has entered our lands again. It doesn't seem to have any intention of capturing cities, but an eye should be kept on it never the less.

Foreign affairs
News has come from Hellas: our allies, Makedonia, has signed a peace treaty with the Koinon Hellenon. Hopefully this means they can focus more on the bigger threat: Pyrrhos and the Epeirotes.

Intelligence
Nothing to report.

Misc.
A new baby has been born, and whoever named it chose the name "Basilinna". Check with your wives if you are not sure whether it's yours!

We should all also congratulate Nikarchos Asterias Syriakes who got married this season.

Chancellor Report, Winter 263 BCE

Buildings
Men has been sent out from Ipsos to contact tribes and caravans in an attempt to have them move through there, bringing wealth through trade, at the exchange of protection. Halikarnassos is in need of some levying system, so a Syllogos Strateumatos is being prepared there. Because of some recent traffic through there, Ankyra will be getting some proper roads as well, while back north-east some Katoikiai have been ordered in Hekatompylos.

Military
In Ankyra, a unit of Galatikoi Kluddolon has been raised for Sarpedon's Royal Army.

Internal affairs
Basileus Antiochos has been attacked twice over by some Ptolemaian armies, and won some great victories.

Foreign affairs
No news to report.

Intelligence
Nothing new to report.

Misc.
Moved Sarpedon's army back to Ipsos. The Thanvare Payahdag that Hermokrates used to help him has been returned to Karkarthiokerta, while the Caucasian Archers have reached Sinope.
