No time to take the save, so Merlinus when you take the save if you could move the main part of my army to my avatar (no other moves permitted)

also Ibn, what are we going to do about the battle of Antioch?

-thought I was -Taking the save. I-K, can you please upload this to somewhere I can locate it. Your link (AtomicGamer) doesn't point to any files, just a news page. I even tried browsing and searching for the file, no filename that looked remotely like a properly named save.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

That is weird! I uploaded it to Org's uploader. will fix it now.

Edit: Removed that broken link in my previous post.

Here is the save in Mizus: http://www.mizus.com/pbm/WotB-248-4-4.rar

Chancellor's Report, ending Winter 248 BC

Military: No new recruitment this season

Construction: Ocheteia Haple have been dug at Gabai, Pergamon, and Nikaia, all work on them is completed. Emporion were started at Halikarnassos and Side. A Purotheke was started at Apameia, as was a Mega Phourion at Persepolis. Proskopoi Chrematistoi were sent out from Zadrakata. King Epigenes of Galatia was given our blessing to construct a Choriton Syllogos Strateumatos in Ankyra, that he may fulfill his levy requirements as per his clientage agreement with the Arche. Work was completed on the Naiskos Mithrou at Asaak this season.

Taxes: Raised at Pergamon to normal, Halikarnassos to normal, Sardis to Very High, and lowered at Pselkis to Low

Notable Events: Susa has grown signifigantly. The Romaioi are again counted the most advanced people. In happier news, my son Marsyas Lydikes has come of military age in Apameia while accompanying me on campaign. I intend to order him to return to Hekatompylos to begin his formal military and administrative education.

Intelligence: A spy has been hired from amongst the populace in Alexandreia-Ariane to keep watch on our Northeastern Frontier. The rural populace around Asaak report a Pahlavan army in the area on our side of the border. Our spies in Aigyptos have been ordered to take up forward positions further in the desert to report on Ptolemaic troop movements. Several Army stacks are reported to be approaching Cunobelinos Arrhenides' position near Paraitonion.

Treasury: 9968 m'nai (incl. 6671 upkeep recovery)

Save: WotB247-1-1.rar

[MerlinusCDXX]

Taking save. Done. Arrhenides (CP), your fort is besieged by a Med. Ptolemy stack. Moved north to resist a new Pahlavan invasion. Sarpedon and RA moving toward Sidon.

[MerlinusCDXX]

Taking the save. Done. Moved to counter the van of the Pahlavan incursion into Astauene, should be able to initiate contact in a season or 2. Basileios Sarpedon is currently in Sidon, with his army encamped in the port town to ease pressure on the inhabitants of the city. The Capitol was moved to Sidon, where the Royal Court is in residence after the evacuation of Antiocheia.

Military: The coastal town of Paraitonion is captured by Cunobelinus G. Arrhenides. A unit of Machimoi Infantry has been raised in Hibis to serve as the bodyguard of Alexandros Syriakos. A new unit of Hypaspistai is raised for the Basileios in Alexandreia, and the old one has been disbanded, it's (former) captain being held for questioning by emergency order. The city of Byzantion was lost to the Epeirote dogs this season due to the inaction of Nikarchos A. Syriakes.

Construction: In Hibis, the former Ptolemaic government was dismantled and Provisional military rule enforced. Propthasia, Dispolis-Megale and Nikaia saw the commissioning of Phourion. Residents of Damaskos have taken it upon themselves to begin work on a new Agora, and work began on Ochetos Lithinos Kryptos in Gabai. The messenger I was expecting with completed construction reports never arrived, so all Satraps and governors must take it upon themselves to confer with their city planning staff to catalog any newly completed public works.

OOC:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The save I got after CP's battle didn't have any messages on it, and my wife takes all my old scratch papers and hides or moves them.

Taxes: The new taxation figures are as follows. Petra-VH, Sinope-VH, Apameia-H, Zadrakata-N,Ekbatana-L, and Susa-L.

Treasury: 19790 m'nai (incl upkeep recovery of 6771)

I didnt looked at all the messages, but i didnt close em... sorry if that made em disappear then...

Marched south. I'm forcing the big cheese to levy a garison now. I left the city undefended and moved out to engage the remaining Ptolemaic forces. Cunobelinus will NOT return to the council before he is finished his campaign.

*STILL* need that army list.

ahh well. I guess the rebels will have to make due with the 10000 mnai we already have ( and cant spend, which is a big problem when you are being chased by a huge army.... not good at all, ohh well only 4 turns till we can go on a spending spree)

[MerlinusCDXX]

Taking the save. Done, engaged the Pahlavans, but they retreated out of my range, I expect to engage conclusively next season. Basileios Sarpedon has entered Syria and is halfway to Antiocheia with his army.

Military:1 unit of Pantodapi Phalangitai were raised in Hierosolyma for Basileios Sarpedon's Army, and 1 unit of Machimoi Infantry for Alexandros Syriakos' bodyguard.

Construction: The walls of Dispolis Megale wrer repaired and a satrapeia Hemi-Autonome is started in Hibis, while a Didaskaleion is commissioned for Memphis. In the East, Hekatompylos builders have begun work on a Choriton Ephebeia kai Skeuotheke, Sardis has pooled together to expand the Temple of Artemis.

Phourion were completed in Ekbatana and Susa, as were Government offices in Pselkis, Amaseia will begin celebrating Heorte Poleos in their new festival grounds. Karkathiokerta has finished work on its Emporion, and Apameia has a new Purotheke. Alexandreia-Ariane's Megaron Epitropou is also finished.

Internal Affairs: It appears that a new Satrap will have to be selected for Mikra-Asia, as Satrap Nikarchos was inside of Byzantion when it was overrun by the Epeirotai dogs. The controversially gained city of Paraitonion is in riots due to lack of any notable presence of authority.

Foreign Affairs: It appears from various reports that some barbaroi from the north of Thraike are moving into Epeiros' balkan territories. Also, closer to home, a force of Saby'n attempted to overcome the Nabatoi at Bostra, they failed to capture the city and have retreated into our lands.

Intelligence: An Assassin has been hired at Alexandreia to attemt to deal with the increased activity of enemy spies throughout our lands, and an additional spy was hired at Alexandreia Ariane to observe Parni movements on our borders.

Treasury: 18933 (includes upkeep recovery and rebel building adjustment; +6771, -4100)

[MerlinusCDXX]

Taking the save. Done. Engaged a small Pahlavan Army directly outside of Asaak, clear victory,Battle report later. Basileios Sarpedon has entered Antiocheia with his army in time to celebrate the Babylonian New Year,and it appears that the rebel general abandoned the city.

Chancellor report ending winter 247 BC

Military: 1 Ioudaoi Taxeis was recruited for Basileios Sarpedon's Royal Army @Hierosolyma, 1 Akontistai for the Alexandreia garrison, and 1 Pantodapoi for the Hibis garrison, Pantodapoi from the Memphis garrison were retrained. Sarpedon has retaken Antiocheia in a bloodless victory!

Construction: repairs were made on the walls of Hibis, Emporion were completed at Salamis and Sidon, andOchetos Lithinos Kryptos were finished in Pergamon. Work began on expanding the Mega-Basileion at Antiocheia, and Susa's governors residence is being expanded to include a Megaron Epitropou. Ekbatana is getting a Mega-Phourion, Edessa will be enjoying a new Emporion, and Ochetos Lithinos Kryptos were started in Apameia. Alexandreia-Ariane is building an Ephebeia Phourike kai Skeuotheke Basilike. The Barracks and Armory facilities were mysteriously burned and looted in Paraitonion by some misguided Ptolemaioi loyalists.

Internal Affairs: Persepolis has grown enough to discuss an expansion of the Governmental residence. A small Ptolemaioi army has been spotted near Hibis.

Rebel News: Reports of rioting have come in from Babylon, Arbela, and Seleukeia. It appears that the loyal subjects of the Arche chafe under rebel rule once again. Perhaps the people are emboldened by the Rebels' apparent cowardice in abandoning Antiocheia.
