roger that. but the Strats/Govs receive further Mnai for build-/recruitorders, do they?

and another question: now that Antipatros received orders from his basileu, should I move him around at the save and then post the new one? Will do it now. :-D

arrrr I don't get it with the saves, Maion, please move Antipatros till I have more time to understand how its work.

Governors and Generals get more money, because they are more important men, obviously. Higher social standing, higher salary.

Let the Synedrion first end with the votings, then do your moves. TCV shall probably PM you about what to do, so you can take the save at any given point and do what you have to.

in the save-thread, after i moved my char, i saved like maion told 272-1-02 then, but i don't get, how I can upload it to this save-libary...

I have uploaded a link at the Savegames thread, there you can see where to upload the savegame.

okay, thank you Maion

Why are the votes hidden in the poll, surely the Synedrion would be a simple raising of hands to vote and everybody could see who voted which way for each edict?

I think the salaries are ok...would I be able to get a "bonus" every time I beat up some pirates? :)

Do I get a bonus as Basilikos Grammateus, perhaps I could put it down under corruption in my reports.

Because that's not how things worked, mostly. The Athenians, for example, has a large vase and, upon voting for a specific law or legislation in general, the Council members threw a pebble inside the vase. There were two pebble colours, a black (no-vote) and a white (yes-vote) one. This was done anonymously, as you may understand. The main reason is, because it helps when you're afraid of what you vote. Generally, it's considered beter to vote anonymously.

Actully, all of you guys can be as corrupt as possible. Just take on a savegame, examine the finances, and see if you can get any bonus income from a specific category, like "corruption" (under faction finances) for example. Then just PM me and I'll arrange everything needed.

See my reply above.

OK cool, I didn't realise that.
