    Well, Chancellor is the one who ends the turn. Usually, everything that the Chancellor have to do he will do when he ends the turn as well. Just give minimum of 24 hours to the people to take the save and make their moves.

    I'll be sure to do that then. But as I've been working for hours on end since last week, I prefer to play when I have the time. Access to the internet is one thing. Access to the game however...

    Does Activity as listed in the library have any effect on the game (for instance, in many of the major RPGs here missing about two coting sessions could result in losing a character)? I was surprised to check the voting thread last night, well ahead of the deadline, and find it had been closed already. I don't really mind if this was to expedite things (I assume I didn't have enough influence to affect whether any edicts passed or not) but don't want to be dinged every session the gm decides to finish early.

    This is how it works here as well. Also, I explained why I closed the poll in the PM.


    LeoCordis - I can't teleport your avatar to Side at the moment. Perhaps Ashurnasirpal can do it? But if the turn is not finished yet in the morning when I wake up then I'll teleport Bothos to Side. Just remember that you can't move the next turn.

    Would be appreciated if he could do it this turn. And I think missing a turn is better than sailing or walking the whole way. :3

    Cool Re: OOC Thread

    Couple of questions here:

    1- How does private unit recruitment works? Do we PM Ibn Khaldun? Can we use those funds to construct buildings? If so where? Only the city we're in? Or say, as Nomarch, anywhere in the Nomarchy? As Basileos, anywhere in the Kingdom?

    2- From what I understand, any armies which aren't a regular or royal army are under the command of the Polemarchos, that would make Side's army my jurisdiction. This is a reference to my OOC comment in the Council thread.

    Relevant rule
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Polemarchos (Chief of Armies)
    Requirements: None
    Influence: 2 during Emergency Council Session.
    Powers:
    (1) Can set the recruitment queue in every settlement in the kingdom.
    (2) Can lead an army of max 16 units.
    (3) This office is always held in the same time as other ranks.
    (4) If no one is elected in to this office then the Chancellor will receive it by default.
    (5) Can propose up to 5 Edicts and 1 Law during Emergency Council Sessions.
    (6) Can ban(or lift an existing ban) reqruitment in one settlement for a year(4 turns). This applies to Private units as well.
    (7) Can move captain lead armies any way he wishes.
    Penalties:
    (1) Cannot set recruitment queue in a settlement that belongs to an Allied kingdom.
    (2) Cannot recruit fleets.
    (3) Cannot move units through Allied kingdom if this is denied by the Allied ruler.
    (4) Cannot move units in the territory of Nomarchy if the Nomarch have denied so.

    4.2 Regular Armies

    Regular Armies consist of a minimum of 4 infantry regiments, 2 ranged and 2 cavalry regiments.
    For the purposes of this rule, Generals’ Bodyguard units do not count as cavalry regiments.
    Basileus will decide who commands it.
    Regular Armies can be created only during the Council Session by an Edict.
    All Regular Armies are marked with a number and a name of the region where they were first formed: 'IV Syrian Army'
    Regular Armies can be disbanded only during the Council Session using an Edict.

    I don't see anything else on the subject. This is not 100% clear. What about an army that's lead by an avatar in-game, but has not been assigned as a regular army to that player?


    3- What would happen if a unit is detached from a regular or royal army and left in a fort or city? Does that unit remain part of that army? Or is the army simply in need of replenishment while the unit is back under the command of the Polemarchos? Actually, are all garrisons by default under the Polemarchos' command? Is there no such title/rank/office as the governor of a single city?

    Royal Treasurer is the person who you should contact if you want to recruit private units. At the moment it is me. You can either PM me or say what unit you want in the Treasury thread. You can construct buildings(with your private funds) only if certain Law/Edict that allows you to do it passes.

    Yes, Polemarchos can move any unit in any way he wishes. And yes, Side's garrison is under Polemarchos' jurisdiction.

    That unit remains part of the army from which it was detached. If the owner of said unit have not mentioned in his SoT post that the Polemarchos can not move it then he, Polemarchos, can do it. Otherwise, only the owner of the unit can move it.
    Yes, all garrisons are under the Polemarchos' command.
    There is no title as the governor of a singl city. However, through Laws/Edicts it's possible to give governorship over a single city to someone. What powers(set build queue, tax rate etc) he have should be mentioned there as well.

    I've no problem with it, though it doesn't exactly fit in the Agora as it doesn't take place in Alexandria. I hadn't intended to spam the thread, just posted something to get it going, then Myth replied and it would be rude to ignore him.

    Visorslash and Skullheadq, you can have your avatars teleported to a particular destination, like LeoCordis did, rather than have them walk all the way to the Holy Lands.

    Edit: You don't have to wait until everybody have taken the save. Also, it should be 24 hours and not years

    I prefer a walk. This way not only do I get to see beautiful sites, my funds accrue and I can buy an army when I get to my destination. On that note, will private units appear with the general?

    Ash, you didn't by any chance actually play that battle yourself, did you? I ask only because the rules require that battle to be autocalced, and, well, I think an autocalced victory like that is kind of improbable.

    Autocalc. If I had played, we most likely would have lost. I started playing this mod only when I joined this game, 1 game with the Romans, and I'm being kicked around by both the Carthaginians and the Epirotes

    But I am getting better though!

    I've been playing EB for about 5 years, but pretty much my only experience with phalanx based armies was WoTB, I'm a bit worried about what's going to happen when I reach Paratoinon. Give me some men with bows on horses and I'm in my element, slow dudes with big spears I'm not so hot with.

    Wait, the whole game is autocalc? Where's the fun in that?

    No no, only battles where no one's avatar is present are auto-calced.

    Anyway, call me positively surprised, then. I was sure that we'd get AC screwed there.
