Jade heeds the warning from her advisors and withdraws from the Baltic Sea - at least for the moment. She orders the construction of a Great City in the region most recently conquered bordering the Baltic Sea in a bid to bolster Suebi's strength for future conflicts.
Onomaris wasn't that kind of person, who would give up, when things become difficult. She raised fresh troups from older more experienced warrios and celtic light cavalry from farmers, who could afford a horse. Then she marched into the region southeast of Boiodurum. If she couldn't attack the eastern tribes frontally, then she would attack them from the south and the west.
While Bellovesos give his troups rest, she would subdue the southeastern boian tribes meanwhile. She sent her light cavalry as plundering avantgarde ahead to force the southeastern tribes to a quck decisive battle.

The workers are striking! They claim to be mistreated and demand "fair wages" and "time off for injury". Pfft.
King Mithridates the Poisoner asks the striking workers to gather at the royal gardens so he can hear and address their concerns. When the strikers are all gathered together, Mithridates signals to the royal guard commander. Soldiers burst in and slaughter all the strikers, drenching the flowers and ornamental bushes with blood. The strike leaders are imprisoned where Mithridates will test new poisons on them.
Pontus is wealthy due to its silver mines and control of the trade lanes across the Sea of Pontus. Mithridates therefore buys thousands of slaves to work on the expansion of the city.
Pontus' Move
Construction of the magnificent city of Amaseia will continue.

Move--continue building the city.
The mood is jolly and the workers spend all their wages in taverns and on entertainment. Everyone is much too wrapped up in festivities and celebration to give much effort to actual work.

Archimedes brings in a fresh batch of workers. That and a rousing speech by him regarding work ethics and emotional hurt caused betrayal of faith reduce the original workers to tears. They swear never to go near taverns or any other kind of entertainment facilities for a long time to come.
Archimedes smiles inwardly at the result of his speech having the desired effect; he pushes, rather shoves, both batches of workers back to work.
The temple priests, in their turn, organise special offerings at the Temple of the Fates. Amid murmurs, some acolyte says something about angering the Gods controlling the Rolls of the Dice. He is immediately hushed by the senior priest, "We are doing our best here. Who knows whose actions are provoking divine wrath! IT CLEARLY WASN'T US! AND YOU, FOCUS ON YOUR STUDIES! YOU HAVE THE ROYAL PRIESTLY EXAMS TO PASS!" The acolyte, like the workers in another part of town, bows his head in shame and runs away to the library to look for a parchment on Priestly Ethics that is part of his exam syllabus.
Boy, nowadays young men have grown soft, haven't they? That dried fish and peas was barely legal to drink alcohol in Tennessee. To punish those pampered workers, Chrysippus orders them to double their efforts with half the normal ratios and have the Great City built yesterday!
These are truly awful die rolls. Perhaps consider switching to something else? Like a dice bot on Discord?
We could if the need arises... I think it's just unlucky timing that Scythia's luck improved & Pontus' rolls tanked the moment you switched factions. I would prefer using a publicly auditable dice-roller lest I be accused of being inequitable impartial and to allow non-discord forum browsers in the future to access dice logs too Edit 2:
New Rule Proposal
If a player wants to add warfleets to a sea zone but it's already "owned" by another player, the new player may "contest" the sea zone. If successful, their fleets will be added to the sea zone. A maximum of 2 factions can have split-ownership of a sea zone. Any additional factions that want to have their fleet added to the sea zone must boot an existing faction's fleets out of the sea (like a game of king of the hill).
Full text of updated Sea Zone/Sea battle rules with the added "contesting a sea zone" option:
Sea Zones and Sea Battles (and Pirates)
Sea Zones and Sea Battles
Sea zones are labeled, and are divided by black lines on the map (Ex: Eastern Mediterranean, West Mediterranean, Black Sea, etc.).
Unlike regions which can only be owned by 1 player, Sea Zones can be have a maximum of 2 "owners". Sea Zones can be:
Pirate-controlled
Player-controlled (1 player has fleets in the sea zone)
Split control (2 players have fleets in the sea zone)
At the beginning of the game, all Sea Zones are pirate-controlled.
To attack a sea zone and thus "control" it, you may attack it like you would any other region (i.e. you must own a region or sea zone touching it). Once you control a sea zone, you may launch attacks from it as if it were any other region.
Unlike battles for land regions which takes a single dice roll, Sea Battles will take 6 dice rolls: 3 for each side. Dice rolls for each side are added up, and whichever side has the highest sum wins the battle.
Additional bonuses/penalties for sea battle depending on previous dice rolls:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
During offensive naval battles your dice rolls are averaged.
If your average is 7 you gain +2 Prestige.
If your average is 5 or greater you only gain +1 Prestige.
If your average is 3 or greater (and you failed to conquer the sea zone), +1 to your initial battle roll in this sea zone next time (bonus expires in 1 turn)
If your average is 2 or less, -1 penalty to your initial attack roll in this sea zone next time. (penalty expires in 1 turn)
If your average is 1 or less, the enemy will also launch a counterattack.
If you control (or have split-control) of a sea zone, your fleets will automatically try to intercept enemies traversing the sea, with a 50% interception chance. If intercepted, the enemy move fails.
Traversing the Sea
Instead of attempting to control or contest a Sea Zone, you may instead choose to simply traverse the sea to attack a region on the other side. If the sea zone is not controlled/contested by a hostile player or by pirates, you may traverse without issue.
However, if the sea zone you wish to traverse is controlled (or partially-controlled) by pirates or an enemy faction, you have 2 options:
1) Option 1: Attack the enemy fleet in the sea zone in an effort to wrest control of the seas for your own faction
This uses a Move. If you are successful, your faction will now replace the enemy for control of the Sea Zone.
2) Option 2: Attempt to traverse through the sea zone to attack a region on the other side, trying to sneak past the enemy faction's ships (or pirate ships) that are patrolling the area.
This uses a Move. GM rolls dice. Rolling a 1, 2 or 3 means your ships have been intercepted, and your move fails. 4, 5, or 6 means you successfully sneak past enemy ships.
Contesting a Sea Zone
A maximum of 2 factions can have fleets patrolling a Sea Zone.
If no faction owns a sea zone:
This means pirates are patrolling the sea zone, and will try to block factions from traversing this sea zone. Players can attack the pirates to try to remove them from the sea zone (as discussed above). If successful, the player will now "own" the sea zone and the pirates will be eliminated.
If one (1) faction controls a sea zone:
If "Faction A" owns a sea zone, another faction (Faction B) may attempt to contest the sea zone using a Move. If successful, Faction B will also have their warfleets added to the sea. Now two (2) factions have split control of the sea zone (and so both factions' fleets will try to intercept enemy attempts to traverse the sea). This is NOT a declaration of war! So you can contest sea zones owned by friendly nations.
This also does NOT remove "Faction A" warfleets! (If you want to eliminate faction A's presence from this sea zone, you must declare war and attack their fleet in a normal sea battle).
If two (2) factions have split control of the sea zone:
Let's say Faction A and Faction B have split control of a sea zone, so they both have fleets patrolling there. If "Faction Z" also wants to have their fleets patrol this sea zone, they first need to target either Faction A or Faction B and contest them using a Move. If successful, the targeted faction will lose control of that sea zone, and Faction Z will replace them.
Hint: Think of contesting a Sea Zone as a game of king of the hill, except instead of 1 king at the top of the hill, there are a maximum of 2 factions controlling a sea zone.
When should you "contest" a sea zone vs. outright "attack" it?
Simple. If you want a naval presence in a sea zone that is currently owned by a neutral/friendly faction (and you wish to keep the peace), simply "contest" them in the sea zone. Diplomatic relations might be strained, but you will avoid outright war.
Otherwise, if you're already at war with a faction that owns a sea zone, it makes sense to just attack their fleet instead.
How is a winner decided when "contesting" Sea Zones?
Same way sea battles are decided, and all bonuses/penalties that apply to sea battles apply to contesting a sea zone as well.
Bonus from Logistics
Logistics wins wars. As reminder, sea battles take three (3) dice-rolls for each side, instead of the usual single dice roll for land battles.
For each Great City you have touching a particular sea zone, you get +1 for all three sea battle rolls within that sea zone.
For each Fortification you have touching a particular sea zone, you get +1 for your initial sea battle roll within that sea zone.
Learn how to build Cities and Fortifications below under "Advanced Rules".
The new "contesting a sea zone" rules are planned to take affect after Turn 9 results are posted to allow for discussion in the social group.

Chrysippus is kinda bored with the slow progress of the city construction. Therefore, he orders the works to be supervised by the Labour Chief Whip, neither Alan Cambell nor the Lord Kennedy of Southwark, but Poseidonius the Nine-Tails, the state-appointed head of the highest trade union of the kingdom with a PhD in flexible working relations and author of a thesis titled: ''Slavery: A Great Blessing or an Even Greater Blessing?''.

While Onomaris returned to Boiodurum, she ordered Bellovesus with his rested troups to conquer the land of a subtribe of the Volcae, who lived in the meander at the middle course of the Moenus (today: Main) river and were protected by the hillfort of Virtiobriga (=root of today Würzburg?).
If the Boii controlled Virtiobriga the way would by open to the Rhenus River the trade gateway to Gallia.

The construction of the grand city is to be celebrated....with new conquests! General Miltiades is given command of the northern expedition, which is to commence not from the capital region, but its first conquest, that is, the easternmost province.
Gen. Miltiades leads his troops into tribal territory in the north.

Zenobia currently worked as the chief torturer interrogator of Pontus, which is why she always carried a whip at her hip. She loved using whips. Very soon she'd be awarded the epithet "the Cruel" just like her grandmother.
Mithridates explained the situation to her, then said, "I'm placing you in command of the slave workforce. I want you to whip them into shape. Literally!"
Zenobia bowed. "It would be my pleasure, father," she said with a grin.
Mithridates chuckled. "I'm sure it will. And if you manage to complete the construction, I will officially bestow the epithet 'the Cruel' upon you."
Zenobia thanks her father profusely and eagerly begins appointing taskmasters and handing out whips to them.
Pontus' Move: Finish building the damn city.
