Basileus' Report

Antiochos' Royal Army besieged Hierosolyma.
It would be nice if Theodoros Syriakos would keep Ptolemaioi small armies away from the Royal Army.

Following recruitments should be done:
In Mazaka - Caucasian Archers for Amaseia garrison.
In Side - Unit of Akontistai for public order reasons.

Ordered Pantodapoi Phalangitai and 2 units of Jewish Spearmen to move towards my RA.
Also, Prodromoi and 2 Toxotai units from Antiocheia have been moved south towards my RA.
If they arrive there I'll send some other units to Antiocheia so that new recruits could join them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Killed those 2 RBG's.
Ancillaries swapped as requested by Victor(and-some-numbers).

Chancellor Report, Spring 262 BCE

Buildings
With low funds and lots of things to spend it on, not much could go into new constructions. However, we could afford preparations for city-state festivals in Sinope, which is ill-needed for the public order, as well as katoikiai in Amaseia for the same reason. No constructions were finished this season.

Military
Yet another band of Caucasian Archers have been raised in Mazaka to keep order. The same goes in Side where a unit of akontistai were created.

Over in Hekatompylos, a unit of Shivatír-i Pahlavarig where retrained, and another was raised to replace a unit of Asiatikoi Hippeis that was disbanded. These were all belonging to Phanias Lydikes' satrapal army.

Internal affairs
Shortly after Basileus Antiochos laid siege to Hierosolyma, he was twice attacked by the Ptolemies, and won two new victories, and taking the city in the process. The inhabitants were taught what's what and were subsequently enslaved, but rumors among Antiochos' men say that the good man has had trouble sleeping since then.

Taxes were also lowered in Sardis.

Foreign affairs
Nothing new to report.

Intelligence
Our vigilant guards have detected some foreign agents working in Hierosolyma, undoubtedly for the Ptolemies, but unfortunately they got away.

Misc.
Sarpedon Syriakos and Mikithion Phoinikikes have moved to Ipsos to join with the Royal Army, and the Galatians under the Kleronomos Basileios' command have camped together with Nikarchos on its way to Ipsos.

Apelles Iliou have also been moved towards Babylon, as instructed.

Treasury: ~11k

taking save...done

Have arrived literally just outside the walls of Nikaia with the 1st Lydian Army.

OOC: When i say literally, i mean it. The darn inch of movement points means i gotta wait a whole nother turn to actually besiege the place, but all is well and i will definitely bring us a victory.
