Thread: Articulus - A Roman News Magazine.

    Default Articulus - A Roman News Magazine.

    Articulus

    An After Action Report in the format of a glossy news magazine using a blog template. Taken from the view point of the Roman Republic and specifically the Jullii family. We will take liberties and assume the reading public is up to date on the goings on and history of the Roman Republic. (No lengthy background info!) Written as if for the virtual Roman public.

    We will kick off the AAR with coverage of a Roman war with the Etruscan League. The Senate has voted for conquest, the Etruscans must be vanquished and two new provinces are to be added to the Republic. Kindly click the links below to get your coverage of the Etruscan War:

    Interesting idea! Concise and not too lengthy - certainly a throwback to AARs of the olden days, with a new twist in regards to format and presentation - well done!
    Chronicles of Cimmeria - A Kimmerios Bosporos AAR (EB2)
    The Age of Peace - A TW: Warhammer Empire AAR

    This is an awesome idea and should make for some interesting modding ides for some and literature. It may also serve to improves peoples knowledge of the roman period for that time, like what HBO seris ROME did. I shall look forward to reading it.

    Zeion - Thank you sir! I appreciate your kind words.

    Antelopev2 - I am humbled sir...and thank you for both your interest and readership! I by the way have watched that HBO series twice all the way through! Outstanding show, just wish they had continued it and not cut it short.

    Notes: I am on vacation this week so lots of time to play Rome Total War II and Work on the magazine!

    I have several editions of a campaign against the Veneti done already. Legio I 'Italia' and General Lucius Julius Libo among others continue the adventure. Will hopefully wrap up the campaign and publish here later today.

    I like the glossy news magazine style of your AAR, both your reporting and screenshots are done well.

    The idea of a news magazine format for an AAR is an excellent one. As other people have said, your screenshots are great, and your descriptions of battles are brief but informative.
