This is my first ever AAR, to a game I'm relatively new to, based on the part of Ireland from whence my family comes. I'm playing In Nomine, everything default except for colonists: 400, agents: free and random lucky nations (Let's just hope it ain't England ) There will be only one cheat, and that's the one little pick-me-up 5000 gold at the very start of the game, right then, I'll start, oh and inflation is off because I simply hate it.
(Damnit, could a mod please change the title to Tyrone AAR instead of Ulster AAR?)
T'was a Saturday, the 15th of October, 1399 in the land of my forefathers. The air was filled with the sound of coins being dropped into store, and the constant patrol of the 1st and only Tyrone Regiment. The day was indeed a fine one, there had not been a foray into Tyrone territory in several years, let alone Irish territory, and the gentle breeze rocked the boats in the dock. King Niall, a fair and good Lord, albeit a little green, beckoned to a diplomat, and summoned him over, Niall sensed it was too quiet in county Mide, the part unlawfully wrested from the High King by England. He whispered in the diplomat's ear that he is sending him to Scotland, and that he is to request a Royal marriage between them, to at least give them a little comfort about the red peril, and that they were not alone in the world. On second thoughts, he sent two more, one to Leinster, the other to Brittany, just to be safe
All was not well the Emerald Isle, for reasons unbeknownst to King Niall (And myself) County Munster (My least favourite had been attacked by Leinster and Connaucht, along with Brittany, who had yet to arrive, this fight was sure to result in annexation of Munster, and leave the Leinster-Connaucht-Brittany alliance more powerful than before, this does not bode well for Tyrone (I invested a lot of money in Govt. tech and now have a national idea, now I have 1700 out of 5000, still keeping me by far the richest in Ireland, likely Britain, and even possibly Europe, and therefore, the world?)
Suddenly, and rather in a pleasantly surprising way, the King of Brittany passed away, and entered a Personal Union under the patronage of King Niall, at the speed of light, the uneven ground was struck down and left King Niall looking rather evilly at county Connaucht and Leinster, the strike would have to be quick, though, so neither had the chance to become two-provinces. King Niall gave the order for mercenaries to be rounded up for service at every oppurtunity, Tyrone was going to war!
