    I'm not certain if this is the correct place to be posting this, but I shall anyway and if it has to be deleted/moved, then so be it.

    I apologise if I get it wrong/in the wrong place/shouldn't be posting yet.


    If it is the correct time/place, then I would like to nominate myself for this months (Octobers) MAARC competition, thank you.

    - Teaser:


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Change was coming to Thrake, the arrival of the Persian into our lands hailing the beginning of a new era and all that came with it.

    Seuthes of the Odrysai sat betwixt the Propontis and his own tribal lands, Byzantion to the east, the warriors of the Thynoi to his north, the mountains and forests of Thrake to his west and the sea clinging to the north-east of his domain. For all this, for all opposition, he could gather to him warriors innumerable and send them anywhere he should will.

    It was Seuthes who, when the great Persian Darius set foot on the soil of Europa and surged towards the land of his cousin Hebriselmis, invited the refugees of Bizye, who had toppled their homes and buildings of their settlement, to go and abide in the recently quashed settlement of Mesembria.

    Those Hellenes who were dwellers their still were taken as slaves by the Odrysian 'guests' and no more was heard about them from that moment on.

    In an act of overt predictability the Persian king occupied the ruins of the hill-fort, going no further into the Thrakian plains but instead taking the coastal road towards those Grecian and Thrakian settlements in his path and then, most likely, into the lands of Makedonia. It came to pass that he did not reach Makedonia but, with the Hellespont not secure at his back, Bithynia independent of his clutches and his great armies stretched thin, besieged and defeated the defenders of Maroneia instead. This polis he retained for his empire and from there did not move for quite some time, in any direction.

    I know this, this and much more, but there is plenty of time yet to be had.

    Though I am lame, deaf and short-sighted now, it was not always so. Once I was Berasdrenis, brown-deer, bastard son of Mukapaibes of the Dii, the most powerful and valiant warrior amongst my people, his skill at arms and reputation as a merciless killer earning him leadership of an uneasy union of mountain tribes, including the Bessi, our warriors often mercenaries or volunteers for the armies of the Odrysai as well as fighting for our own freedom.

    I’m Philippe.
    Philippe Capet, adoptive son of the French King. However, my real name is Muhammad Sahadeddine. I’ve been adopted because of an amazing coincidence. I hope to become soon a hero of Chivalry, and help the poor and the orphans.
    I know, I’ve read a lot of hero stories, but I’m a dreamer…


    Let's follow the epic adventure of an eastern son, lost in a western land.

    Could he reach glory through epic battles and choices?
    Or should he resign to accept a miserable fate everyone wants him to follow?

    What chance do I have when there are two of the old masters in the game already? Oh what the hell...

    Takeda - a Shogun 2 AAR

    Game: S2TW vanilla
    Mod: Radious diplomacy V1
    Faction: Takeda

    The winter of 1544 was a harsh one, and as I travelled through the valleys of Kai, the hardship it must have brought the people was quick to my mind. It was remarkable, then, that the cold spring air was filled not with despair, but an excitable buzz, a feeling of anticipation. The snow was still melting away under my feet, but families had already begun their preparation for the year to come. There was a sense of optimism, hope that in these tumultuous times, big things were destined for the young man who led them and their glorious clan. His clan was the Takeda, descendants of the ancient Minamoto, and his name was Harunobu.

    Some years ago, Harunobu had become daimyo of Kai, displacing his father as the head of the clan. The Takeda were rightly feared as master horsemen, but years of internal strife and struggles against the Hojo and Imagawa had weakened it to the point where Kai itself was under threat. As I walked through the countryside struggle was nowhere to be seen, however, reflecting the improvement in conditions since those godforsaken years. Word was that the Shinano warlords will come again soon, but the quiet industry of these people seemed to reflect their confidence that the Takeda would be ready, and Harunobu would lead them to greatness.
