Hi all,
I've just found myself with a lot of time on my hands and I want to get back into fiction writing. I'm planning on starting my first M2W AAR and would like some help deciding what to write about. Any feedback would be appreciated:
1. What M2W factions have been so covered in past AARs that they're all but played out? From looking over the current crop of AARs, it seems that there are already plenty of stories about the British Isles factions (especially England and Scotland), Crusader States, Byzantium, and Italy.
Certainly there's a huge crop of Third Age AARs, so while it's an awesome mod I'm going to stay away from that topic.
2. Are there any factions that you would be especially interested in seeing? Any that haven't been covered in depth or which haven't been the topic of an AAR in some time?
3. Do I need to create clever twists nowadays to "spice" up AARs? I only ask this because it seems I've read plenty of AARs that have Sci Fi or fantasy elements and even bring in screenshots from other games.
4. Any recommendations on what MOD to use? Since this is my first AAR, I'm considering either going Vanilla or using the Grand Campaign Mod. However, I don't know if vanilla is considered too "boring," as I see most people use SS.
