TRAPSTILA VANDALARIUS- THE RISE OF THE ROMANO-GOTHIC EMPIRE

Out of the darkness and despair of the fall of the Western Roman Empire, emerges a Kingdom that will inherit it. Together with their Roman and Germanic allies, they carve a path of tangled webs and bloodied blades into an uncertain future against the Flagellum Dei himself, and will stand on the precipice of the fall of civilization, and the wreckage of it's monuments, only to reclaim it under a legendary warrior king that can create a new kingdom from the ashes. In our latest chapter, intrigue puts the Amali dynasty into order, as the war with Attila reaches new heights. Narrating this turbulent time, is the titular Trapstilicus, who gives an account of the broader and now more dangerous world.

The Sun Never Sets... - A British AAR

Author: McScottish
Game and Mod: Empire Total War/Imperial Splendour
Faction: Great Britain

Being the seventh son of a seventh son is hard enough, but when you are the disowned son of a Highland gentleman, pressed into service for Her Majesties forces and forced into the many expansionist conquests of a burgeoning British Empire, it only becomes even worse; this is the situation of Jacob Wisenforth, a young soldier late of the 8th Regiment of Foot, and his recollections of a lifetime spent fighting for his homeland and - in a very real way - for his own beliefs, life and soul.

Welcome to The Sun Never Sets!

CHRONIKON TON BASILEION



Game: Medieval II Mod: Stainless Steel 6.4 Faction: Eastern Roman Empire

These are uncertain times. Beyond the Empire's borders, Rome's enemies amass their forces, waiting for the occasion to strike.
Within the Basileia, the corrupted aristocracy's plots are as treacherous and ambitious as ever, religious and social tensions grow with each passing day.
In this scenario of corruption and decadence, only the Komnenoi stand between the Empire and its downfall. Assassination, marriage alliances, war and diplomacy are but mere tools in the Emperors' hands to compete in the political game. And as new threats emerge from both East and West, the pages of the Chronikon ton Basileion, the Chronicle of Emperors', get soaked with the unending bloodshed. For isn't the glory which once was Rome worth of it all?

Rome has abandoned Britain to her fate as Gaul in assaulted by barbarian hordes. In Britain, the Tin Isles, numerous small kingdoms have taken the chance to rise the chaos - or submit to Germanic invaders. Dunawt was a simple man of Ebrauc, a northern kingdom founded around Eboracum - later to be York - until a twist of fate revealed him as the King's bastard. Elevated to royalty he soon finds himself leading armies against hordes of northern tribesmen while Germanic raiders ravage the south of England. The fate British kingdoms hangs in the balance

I don't usually do this but it seems to be working with Shankbot so I'll give it try.

I'd like to nominate Caillagh's A Long Way from Home and Blame Canada's In Service of the Republic.

They both meet the requirements for submission as well.
