Idea for a roman AAR

**Mr Longbowman** · August 13, 2007, 12:05 PM

I was thinking of making an AAR with the romans, but we have seen about 5 billion of roman AAR before and if i would make one it would need something that no AARs has.

My idea ( probably half of you will hate it but still) is to make a AAR with no actually in game pictures, so it would look like a history book with battle plans, maps over the area the fighting was in and stuff like that.

But before I start i want to hear your comments about it.

It would probably be with Rome on VH/M or something like that

Sounds like a good idea to me...but I love reading AARs.
Would the maps look hand drawn or like they had been made in the dirt right before the battle?
Or the Wiki-way with red blocks and blue blocks with arrows depicting movement?

Hand writen maps would be awesume but i am no painting expert so the wikie kind of maps would be more realistic

And do anybody know were i can find a quite big map over italy with the major cities in it

i think i will make a aar but first i need the stuff to do it

Just search some stuff on Google and you can find maps of historic cities (there locations back then and what-not). I would enjoy reading an AAR like this so I would give it two thumbs up to the go-ahead. Good luck.

I have to fix some computer stuff first though

A very sound idea

And now that you got our appetite stirred up you'll have to deliver, I am afraid.

I have temporary uninstalled Rome because Kingdoms is relased and my old stone age cant handle both at the moment, after deleting some music and stuff i probably start. But first thoese flamethrowers

**Mr Longbowman** · September 09, 2007, 02:38 AM

**Mr Longbowman** · September 09, 2007, 07:46 AM

**DimeBagHo** · September 09, 2007, 09:52 AM

Upload the image to somewhere like Image Shack and then paste the code they give you into your post.

Looks like it was a hard-fought battle...Pyrrhus is a total pain.
Very nice, I look forward to reading more.
