After talking with some of his assistants and personal retainers Antiochos waves his hand for silence..

I have made my decision. I can not point commanders to the Armies because the Edict have not passed yet. But I can make some of you here Satraps. And I shall do it now..

Sarpedon Syriakos will become the Satrap of Ipsos. Since you are known for your good management skills then I give you additional settlement for your Satrapy. The additional settlement will be Sardis. Defend our holdings well in Mikra Asia well.

Andromachos Syriakos will become the Satrap of Persepolis. He is also known as a good Governor and thus I will give additional settlement to his Satrap as well. The additional settlement will be Karmana. Defend us from any danger from Arabia and India.

With the Satrapy of Hekatompylos I have a problem. Bithys Nisaias Parthiakes was the only one who was interested of that position but I have other plans for him. If my army Edict passes then I would like him to take command over it. I want a loyal and able man to defend Arche from any threat from the steppes.

I would like to give the Satrapy of Hekatompylos to Phanias Laodikeias Lydikes. You are in Karkathiokerta and thus you can make to Hekatompylos faster than anyone else. So Lydikes, what will you say. Will you become the Satrap of Hekatompylos or you have other plans?

I have to also mention that None of the Satraps can not lead Regular Armies and if you accept the 'job' then you must tell me what kind of Army you would like to get. The Army types are brought out in the 'Rule 2.4 and section - Satraps powers'

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
(6) Every Satrap will have a 8 unit army similar to Regular Army. Every Satrap should mention what type of army they wish: a) an Infantry army(5 infantry, 2 missile, 1 cavalry regiment); b) a Cavalry army( 2 infantry, 2 missile, 4 cavalry regiments); c) a Mixed army(3 infantry, 3 missile, 2 cavalry regiments). They can however get to recruit 1 local unit for every 2 Influence points and 1 local unit for every 3 Command stars.(The unit type of the additional units can be what ever the Satrap chooses)
Antiochos pauses and takes a sip of water. After a brief pause he continues..

One of my assistant was near enough to hear your Edict, Arrhenides. And I second Edict 1.6. Peace and trade with the Hellenes could help us more than it could harm us. Also, it will make Egyptians angry and I always feel better when I have done that.

Antiochos smiled.. It was a long speech he just made..
