The Royal Council

[Ibn-Khaldun]

After some thoughts Antiochos calls one of his slaves and hands him some papers. Slave walks around and gives those to the Strategoi present.

Everything about the new rank is explained in there..

OOC:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The new rank have the same power as Satraps and this mean that they can set the tax level and set up build queue. This means that Basileus can't ask Chancellor to build there something if the local governor have set up different build queue. They can't however ask recruitment of any units (I leave that power to Basileus and Satraps only) though they can use the garrison to defend the settlement and use them against brigands without asking.
Also, you need only one management point to get this rank and you must be present in the province of that settlement that you govern. This is different from the Satraps who can leave from their Satrapies and still control it.
This should make things more interesting in my opinion. Also, this should bring people who can't lead any of those armies closer to the game if they can at least govern a settlement.

Antiochos continues...

I also want to announce that I will grant Alexandria-Ariane to Satrap Phanias Laodikeias Lydikes. He have been a good Satrap and a good Chancellor in these hard times so I trust this new settlement into his hands.

Now, if there are other question about my proposed new rank then feel free to ask them. I'll extend this Council for another 7 hours. So this means that Fourth Council Session will end GMT Dec 7, 2008
07:00.

If you can get someone to second your Edicts then feel free to propose them!
