@ I-K see when you said that i shuuld retrain the units that need retrained, i assume you mean that i should move all under strength units to antiocheia were the chancellor will retrain them if and when he sees fits?

[Alerion]

Since I don't know if y'all read the battle reports:

Anyone ever encountered black screenshots when opening in irfanview?

Also... the cav units I used in attacking those rebels can't be retrained in Seleukeia. Anyone know where?

[Roka]

i think it has sometihng to do with anti-aliasing being on, not sure though, i just prt scr the battle results screen, then i copy and pasted this into paint and uploaded it

Of course.. mention that in your SOT and also in the Reports thread after you have moved those units into Antiocheia for retraining.

Battle Reports are important since battles give you battle points and it is good to back your words. The screenies are actually more important when you loose.

And your screenies being black.. It's so because you have anti-aliasing on. To turn it off go to Options and then Video Options. Then you should see Anti-Aliasing.

@ Alerion, the Mada Asabara (Median med cav) and Arachosian skirmisher cav aren't likely to be easily retrainable where you are located. For the Medes, when I next take the save, I'll see if we have a settlement nearby that has a high enough regional barracks to retrain them, and I'll let you know where to send them for retraining. My suggestion is to use your cavalry as is, and development should be continuing, so eventually they will get retrained. The Arachosians are just from too far away to make retraining feasible right now (the closest places to recruit them are Aria and Margiane- near Baktra)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Actually, it is better if you replace them Merlinus with some other cavalry, Prodromoi or Asiatikoi Hippakontistai(you can get them from Karkathiokerta).

[Alerion]

the arachosian are fine I guess... they haven't lost that many... and are missile cav

if possible it would be good to retrain the medians though... if not I'll have to make use of what I have

Roka and I-K thanks for the advice - I'll disable anti aliasing next time...

Hmm... I find a spelling error in the library. In the list of the Arche's children, Sarpedon's son is named "Giognetos", while under Sarpedon's personal post, he's called "Diognetos". I don't know which one is correct, though.

[Alerion]

another question: does a new Strategos have an army, and if yes what does it look like? i did not find out in the faq. and is this the right thread to ask questions?

Short answer to both questions: no
this is the right thread ;)

[SwissBarbar]

ok ;-) and what does he do then, when not fighting?
