The Byzantine player receives 8 gold this round, and currently holds 10 gold.

The Byzantine Player eliminates armies that he can not afford or does not wish to keep, pays upkeep costs for all his existing armies (1 x strength), and raises new armies (2 x strength).

SnuggleBunnies: you currently have 10 gold, of which 7 will be used to upkeep your existing armies (unless you decide to eliminate any of them or reduce their strengths), leaving 3 gold. How do you want to spend your gold this round?

Reduce the strength 3 army to strength 2, freeing up 2 gold. Recruit a new strength 2 army, leaving 1 gold in the treasury to reassure the Congressional Budget Office.

Edit: this actually leaves the treasury with 0 gold, sad times

We will keep the emperor's own at strength 4
Of the remaining two strength 2 armies, we will disband one and strengthen the other, making it a strength 3.

We're looking for worthy Enemy Player opponents to SnuggleBunnies' Byzantine Player, either as a one-off for a battle or round or on a more ongoing basis. I will continue as administrator but this round step down from being the only Enemy Player.

Round VIII's battles to be resolved with another Enemy Player or other Enemy Players. In case you're interested, write here or send me a PM.

I'd be willing to play one battle per turn. I'm too busy to commit to more than that ATM.

SnuggleBunnies (Byzantine) defeats Karvon (German) 45-9

I sure am going to miss this Komnenian list. If this results in the elimination of the German threat track, perhaps the 3 of us could discuss whether we should add a new Western threat - like Venetians, Crusaders, or something like that.

Sounds reasonable to me, I don't know much about this period but did the Byzantines ever fight the Mongols anyway ?
Whatever people think is best, probably not a Crusader army starting in Byzantium !
