well its not like you really need em.

Yeah.. You'll be dead once Sarpedon arrives there anyway..

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

that has yet to be decided! I have a huge army (which may or may not be made of almost totally Levy troops) waiting to stop him! even if I die I am going to make him pay so much for it he wont be able to go on! Viva le revolution! (yes I know its not a revolution, let me have my moment.)

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Hilarion seems to be very good at alienating Sarpedons allies

"Why should we waste money and effort defending these people from themselves? They harboured the enemy who drew men from their ranks. Our resources can be better spent on much more important things than their safety.

Also, I have you remind your master that he must move quickly to deal with the Pahlavans. Ideally, he would have honoured the charge that was laid upon him by the council and taken care the rebel scum first..." Hilarion then mutters, almost unintelligibly: "... but far be it to expect anyone to do what they're told these days..."

Hilarion turned to Arrhenides' representative.

"What, exactly, do you mean when you say that Arrhenides will 'reinforce himself'?"

are you sure he isn't on my payroll? Cause he seems to be doing my job for me!

[The Celtic Viking]

Oh, you can try, but seeing as I have both the quantitative and the qualitative advantage, it will take much for you to succeed with even that. I can quickly replace what losses I take with new levies and mercenaries if need be, and there are other armies that I can use if I still need more help.

Now, can you just stop running and face your judgement day?

edit:

What madness has it come to when I can't even trust my own auxiliaries?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHH..... that's not going to happen. we will fight when I am ready to fight (which may or may not be never....)

madness? no this is not madness, this is a civil war!!!!!

I think Cunobelinus' distant adoptive son has bought it... or will soon. Oh well... We all have our part to play in this little game of ours.


Oi you smelly Swede, will you get on Xfire soon please? I've been needing to discuss some things with yah!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Income:
Antioch 2500 (left and probably captured back before the turn ends.)
Babylon 2000
Selukeia 2500
Arbela 1000
Charax 1500
Total: 7000

Since when did Antioch turned into Huge City? Last time I checked it it was Large City.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Yeah I know, wasn't it small city= 2000. so large city=2500? I could be wrong but I assumed that was it.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Village - 500mnai
Town - 1000mnai
Large Town - 1500mnai
Minor City - 2000mnai
Large City - 2500mnai
Huge City - 3000mnai

So, I apologize, everything is OK with your economy. I miscalculated myself.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

that's fine, it happens.

hey I am not dead yet! I still have a chance, a small one but a chance none the less. I just need some more troops!

[Nole4694]

From what you guys have told me, it would be best for me to head either to the rebellion or the... East? Well soewhere where there is much action at the moment, thanks for the help ill be getting the save, what should I put in the SOT thread since I have no orders or anything yet?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

just put your name rank, and something to the effect of avatar not be moved without my specific permission

[Celtic_Punk]

head to the east to the side of your characters son. Thats what you should do. Don't join any rebellion yet.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah we will probably all be dead soon anyway. think long term!

[Celtic_Punk]

its not your fault. you know why too. friggin guy :/

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

wait its not MY fault? from my position it sure looks like my fault. I never had enough support.... we had to few members and to little settlements to put together a army big enough to kill Sarpedon. I still think I may have a chance though If I can hold them off long enough and build up a better army.

[Celtic_Punk]

tahts what i'm saying. its not your fault. you don't have enough support. and you would if he who shall not be named returns

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah that kind of scenario is what I dream about at night... well, we shall see. now speaking of sleep I have to go get some.

[Nole4694]

Where do I go to get myself some orders? Im ready to get started

[MerlinusCDXX]

Your character is in Hekatompylos right now. If you like, you can be 2nd in command (Satrap's Aide) for Parthava. Come up towards Asaak and grab part of my Army, and let's go kill rebels and Parthians. It seems like you are gonna be pretty active, so (unlike my last aide, who took thwe save once and then disappeared) I have no problem giving you the position. And he's my son in game, so nepotism rules.

[Nole4694]

Alright awsome, how much should I take? And then can I go sorta on my own or should I stay close to you?

[Celtic_Punk]

work in tandem. You could actually end up smashing a huge hole through the Parthians right now if you force your way north. But taking settlements might not be the best thing.

Damn, CP, stop reading my mind , yeah Nole4694, that's how it will probably work best. We could probably go as far as A-Margiane, but we should stay off the steppe (unless we just wanna go thrash some Parthian recruiting camps).

[Nole4694]

In the save I encounter a 9 unit army of rebels, Merlinus. If only I could get the stupid save up, I stopped just outside their attack radius, you might be able to attack them or we could just leave and lay waste to the parthians.

I'll give you some troops, so your character can get some experience, every little bit helps. I'll start leaving instructions in my SOT post starting tomorrow or so. Take a look at my units and see what you prefer (don't take all my tough guys though .) Should we start our own Satrapy of Parthava thread? What do you think?

[Celtic_Punk]

Merlinus, I can't get on the computer with EB on it (my brother is sleepin over at my house tonight. Could you march my army towards the town? if i am within range to lay seige do it otherwise set up camp.

You do know that IF you manage to do that you can claim the throne?

EDIT: Moved those last 9 posts from Sign up thread here because they were rather off-topic there.

[Celtic_Punk]

I think his adoptive father might have something to say about that.

by the way Ibn since your part of my army could you do the moving instead? I won't be able to get onto the EB computer till noonish (its 4am now... god damn My sleeping is all messed up. Been like this since I got back from last field exercises I've been sleeping in 2 hour spurts ever since.) Do you think you could cross the border, hammer those 2 pitiful armies (they'll probably scamper off rather than engage us) and make way to the town and lay siege. (camp if we cant make it, since scaring away those 2 armies is 1st priority at this time) I'd like the army moved before the next turn, we can't waste any time in defeating the last of the Ptolemoi. Tight schedule here people! Vite Vite Vite!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah it would be suicide to try and keep this powder keg together, right now it is just fear of Sarpedons wrath that keeps everyone in line, if I took over I would be overthrown faster then you can say "legitimate heir to the throne". Plus I am quite happy with my little kingdom.... but really does anyone know the odds of me beating Sarpedon?
