This is the submission/nomination thread for MAARC LVI!
Please see the Writer's Study Information and FAQ Thread for more details.
Is this the right place to submit? It's the first time and I'm the first on here, so...
By the way, after having been proposed by Alwyn, I'd like to submit my AAR.
Title : KRONIKON TON BASILEION
Author: Roman Heritage
Game: Medieval II Total War Mod: Stainless Steel 6.4
Faction: the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire
This AAR started a couple months ago out of curiosity. It was my first SS playthrough, and, surprisingly, it was proceeding rather well, so I chose to document it through an AAR Given my love for Byzantine military history, and essays on strategy and tactic, the Kronikon is centred on grand strategy, politic, battles and conflicts rather than on characters' personalities and feelings, although I've grown a tendency to "characterize" some people. It might be a good read for those who actually like grand strategy and a more pragmatic and "historical book looking" approach to Total War. It has actually gone through 90 or so turns, and I've had the chance to face a great number of enemies and perilous situations. If you look for politics, grand strategy, rebellions, dynastic matters, roleplay and nice battle screenshot, give it a try

Alright, have 2 updates in this month so here goes!
Title: Reunification: a Marcomanni AAR
Author: hooahguy14
Game: Rome 2 with the Radious overhaul mod
Faction: The Marcomanni, with the Imperator Augustus campaign
This AAR follows the trials and tribulations of the Marcomanni tribe as they climb the ladder to glory and greatness! They do so by uniting the rest of the Germanic tribes to reclaim their old glory which they achieved in my older AAR with the Suebi, also in Rome 2, which it references multiple times so reading the Suebi AAR before this one is advised, but not mandatory. It is rather picture-heavy so slow internet connections beware! Though I strive for great battle screenshots so even if it takes two hours to load all of them, you will never be disappointed!
Critics love it!
"What a wonderful introduction. Screenshots are impressive as always!!" -Chirurgeon
"An enthralling story with stunning images" and "The continuing rise of your confederation is impressive with great reporting of battles and stunning screenshots (+rep)." -Alwyn
"Wow! Great update. Your screenshots are amazing! It felt as if I was actually on the battlefield as read through." -Scottish King

I have much less to offer you than the other entrants, but Merchant of Venice astonished me by very kindly suggesting I should enter my AAR into this MAARC. And if someone like Merchant of Venice suggests it, what can you do? So, here I am.
The required information seems to be:
Title: A Long Way From Home
Author: Caillagh
Game: Skyrim...
...kind of. The protagonist is currently in Cyrodiil, which doesn't appear in Skyrim, so I'm using screenshots from Oblivion at the moment. Almost all of the story will be in Skyrim, it just hasn't got there yet. I suppose at the moment it's more of a 'Before Action Report', since we haven't got as far as the events of my game of Skyrim...
...well, there we are! I suppose that's something I can offer you.
My lords, ladies, and gentlebeings, it is my honour to present to you (probably) the first Skyrim AAR in history to be entered into a MAARC before reaching Skyrim!
It's a Skyrim AAR that doesn't start in Skyrim. It's a Skyrim AAR that doesn't even start in the same world as Skyrim. It's the story of a man who doesn't know where he is, doesn't know why he's there, and hasn't the first idea what to do about it. And then the dragons arrive...

A Missionary's Perspective: The Diaries of Fr. Tullio de Sao Joao, S.J.
Game: Total War: Shogun
Faction: Otomo
It's 1545, just as the Sengoku Jidai is entering a crucial phase. The Daimyo battle, the peasants toil, the samurai fight, and the traders trade. And into this fiery maelstrom of a mess is Father Tullio de Sao Joao, Society of Jesus, newly ordained and fresh from the Jesuit seminary. He has been assigned, by Ignatius of Loyola himself, to bring the natives of this foreign land to Christ. But Portuguese and Japanese cultures are very different, and the local sohei do not take kindly to leading their flock astray. Tullio will have to use his wits, his Papal favor, and his unwavering faith in God to carry the day, lest the Prayer Wheel overcomes the Cross.
