Actually, if we are at war with a faction then all of their settlements are free to take. It's just that, if you go on a rampage and go after settlements that are not ordered to be taken by an Edict or by Basileus, you might end up in a place surrounded by enemies and with no reinforcements and without a support from the Council.

[Alerion]

Navaroo, if you want to take Hierosolyma you might want to coordinate, as Theodoros is planning the same thing

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Also, who ever gets there first must remember that 2 Ptolemaioi half stacks are coming from south. I think you don't want to share the faith of some other Strategoi some in-game years ago.

indeed there are many dangers down there

[Ibn-Khaldun]

One thing that I just realized is that if CA 4.1 passes(which it does at the moment) then there will be a lot more people who can run for Chancellor in the next Council Session. This was not my main goal but this gives another reason why you should stay put into one province.
Also this means that you, players, should decide whether you want to play as a general or a governor.
Since there isn't that many Armies but there are a lot of settlements then this gives another way to prove yourself.
Just some thoughts...

Is my character allowed to attain the new rank I-K? Or do you have to be actively playing the game?

[The Celtic Viking]

It might be a good thing to be able to see the situation, what buildings can be constructed etc. Also, to quote your own SOT post: "Would you give a blind man a city to run?".

[johnhughthom]

I walked right into that one...

That's exactly why I said, we should coordinate. Together we might stand a chance against the Ptolemaoi forces there and I have no problem with leaving the taking of the town to Navarro while keeping some egyptians off his back - my character is so unselfish ;) ... The Royal army is heading there too, right?

oh.. and I'm sure you meant "fate" ;)

[navarro951]

Haha alerion dont kid urself, our empire surviving is my main worry not the town. So lets get a coordination going definitely, um best thing would be to beat the already near us Ptolemy army and then wait up for the RA to arrive so we can all march in and be their to reinforce or whatever is needed to help each other in the obviously up coming battles.

[Celtic_Punk]

do you think a restriction should be put on on the race of someone who can run for chancellor?

[Alerion]

you mean hoq many people can run for chancellor or how often one can run for it?

[navarro951]

or do u mean actual like RACE like in-game heritage?

[johnhughthom]

Like only Makedones or Hellenes?

[The Celtic Viking]

Like only assassinating your opponent/s if you really want to win?

[johnhughthom]

I'm very disappointed in this election, I expected bribery and corruption on a massive scale. Or perhaps my vote just wasn't worth anything...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

do you think a restriction should be put on on the race of someone who can run for chancellor?

I don't think so since we don't have that many people who actually can run for Chancellor but that should change with the new rank.

Yes, I meant fate.

Yes, you can get the new rank. If you set up your build queue then you don't have to be that active. Just update it occasionally and everything is fine.

[navarro951]

ya know im surprised to see such a powerful expansion by Epiros. Was checking out the library and it appears they are close to wiping our Makedon and probably soon HK as well. Normally in my games i see a more intense Makedonian expansion but i suppose that's the beauty of EB.

Edit: Also noticed i haven't gotten my bp's for relieving Sidon or has that not been done yet?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

navarro, I probably missed that. It's fixed now.

[navarro951]

ya no prob thanx!

[Celtic_Punk]

So its blackmail is it? mark my words i will find out out.. And skin you alive.

you know who you are.... lol

[navarro951]

Proper stomping ground? We are the most accomplished army, and have done so when the syrian army was called else where. Don't get upset when we mop up a mess you should clean up. The names of the armies do not matter when the Arche is at risk. I suggest the first army that can muster up and prepare itself to move out gets to campaign against the Epirotes.

ok dude i gotta OOC this one because you took me so wrong. I meant proper stomping ground as in place of your armies title. Second while the army is accomplished tactics and leadership wins battles so dont doubt any other commander here's prestige. Second, excuse me for not being able to beat every Fing near full stack Ptolemy army that happens to come from the south and i believe i have done my part in making sure Sidon wasnt over run and so did Alerion I believe so show the due respect because every little bit counts. Ya taking down Pontus was a great feat but that war was over when it began anyway. Lastly, why waste time and money mustering forces when i was nicely offering my services to get the thing started. THEN a new unit could definitely be used to get things started.

[Celtic_Punk]

lol i wasnt makin a personal stab. Cunobelinus was just pissed that you told us to get off your ground, when its you who are in Syria.

again i reiterate... i will find you blackmailer... Your life avatars life is going to be short lived.

[The Celtic Viking]

Your life avatars life is going to be short lived.

Unless of course if it's someone like Antiochos who is already old.

[Celtic_Punk]

Touche, my young padawan. touche....

well yes ill give you that i am not in my grounds, it just seemed a little over the top and good luck takin on Epiros by the way hope you slaughter those beetchs! I will then continue as planned and push those Aigyption fools to Petra.

[Celtic_Punk]

yes i will slaughter them like the sneetches on the beeches

[navarro951]

After listening what the others said Antiochos speaks..

I was not sure how much retraining does 1st Syrian need. If you say that it does need to go Antiocheia for it then I trust you. In that case, 1st Lydian Army should head towards Epeirote territories immediately!

One of Antiochos' slaves whisper something to him...

Oh.. yes.. Unfortunately, Aratos, you are back to the rank of Strategos Epilektos. I had a plan to make Hetairos rank to be more important and I had no plans of taking away it from those who have earned it fighting hard battles for the Arche. But I guess that Epeirote campaign will get to the next rank faster than you know!

So i guess Nikaia it is for me then started heading out today

[everyone]

is it possible to borrow a unit from a nearby settlement's garrison to deal with some rebels near the settlement? because I downloaded the save (just to take a look at the map) and noticed that there are rebels within range of karkathiokerta and edessa (from the devastation on those tiles; and I moved my character near there just to confirm). Since I am nearby, may I have permission to take a unit of thanvare payahdag to aid me in removing the rebels?

(or should this post belong in the royal council)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

@everyone - You can 'borrow' a unit if you have asked it from the Basileus. And since he is such a nice person and loved by all() then I think he might even allow it.
