Hey, I downloaded EoD about a month or so ago and whatnot and its a really great mod, best I've played in my opinion.
Anyway, I decided that since this was such a good mod I would do an AAR for the mod. Unfortunatly for you, I started it on another site. However I figured that the people that have played and like this mod the most are probably on this site. Therefore, I decided to A) Give you a link to the AAR and B) Post a few interesting battles I've had up here.
Part A)
Here you go, a link to the AAR
Part B)
Arthur leads his Great Army and attacks the French city of Bourges.
Arthur, Lancelot and another group of knights start at a different gate than the rest of the army.
My sappers take down the wall.
Meanwhile, my King’s Axemen take the gatehouse in front of Arthur.
They then proceed to temporarily take the town square. However, the sight of those spears sends them running in the opposite direction.
Oh boy, I didn’t plan this very well, did I?
Meanwhile inside the city…
Its quite the sacrifice, but I have to hold those spearmen somehow, so it’s the job of the Grandmaster Squires. Meanwhile Arthur and Lancelot sneak up from behind.
I send my infantry and archers through the hole in the wall the sappers made. They move up the street. I wouldn’t want to walk into that, would you?
My archers take out their infantry, leaving their town square wide open to my infantry.
While they’re busy taking the town square, Arthur battles it up with the French cavalry and reinforcing family member.
The captain is the first to fall.
Their reinforcing family member goes down soon after.
It is a literal horse graveyard.
I end the battle when given the option.
Easy victory. I was a little worried during that pitched cavalry battle that Arthur might fall, but he made it out alright.
I enslave.
Arthur must have been pretty close to dying if he got this retinue member.
Next year I get this message after some of my ports are blockaded.
So, they want war do they? I’ll show them a war. As soon as I’m done with France.
Speaking of France, they attack my besieging army. With their king nonetheless.
Here’s my two man unit. They must be pretty good friends.
I attack one of the reinforcing armies (the one from the city) first.
It was an easy battle as my infantry was superior. I just missed a few of the routers.
Meanwhile, my general that I had sent to deal with their king had won. His men celebrate the slaying of the enemy king.
The third army was all infantry and no match for my archers.
Victory.
I capture the town too, and enslave.
That’s it so far. Although the French are falling like flies, southern France is nothing but a bunch of huge French strongholds. And as soon as France is gone, I’m gonna have Spain breathing down my neck too. Meanwhile to the east the Satanae seem to be winning their war with the Nation of Islam. And to top it all off, the Germans are at war with me too.
And there you go, the most interesting post so far. If you liked it, have no fear, more battles are on the way (although they might be a tad far in between) and its just going to get more exciting from here.
Hope you all enjoy this mod as much as I do, and I hope you read/enjoy the full AAR, I sure am enjoying making it.
