A New Hope Roman AAR
Well I'm making an AAR. This AAR starts when my faction leader dies. I made a prologue so that everyone will understand. This is my first AAR so it prob won't be great.
A New Hope
Prologue
The Romans are a superior people. Nothing can overcome Roman power, no nation can be compared with the Romans. The Romans are unstoppable!
Although the very strong and advanced empire of Rome has not expanded its borders far, the nation was crippled by attacks and internal corruption. Flavius Julius was the leader of these proud Romans. Although under his reign little was accomplished. Many complained and sought a new leader. The main reason people hated him was because he did not take his legion and march out to defeat Rome’s enemies. He stayed in Capua, the capital, for his whole life.
Instead his son Lucius Julius and Servius Calvinus a general who was adopted into the family, did most of the fighting. The Greeks, Carthaginians, and Gaul all marched their forces against our legions. Lucius Julius who invaded Gaul and captured the settlements of Mediolanum and Patavium, now defends the never ending hordes of barbarians from Italia. Servius Calvinus however took his legion and captured the island of Sicily and defended the island from the Greeks and Carthaginians.
So many citizens and even the Senate were not happy with Flavius. Many blame him for the lack of security and the decrease in economy. The two brothers in law knew one of them would become the leader after the death of Flavius Julius.
Flavius’s death was highly anticipated by most people. It was clearly known among the senate and Flavius himself. It became perfectly clear to Flavius that he was un liked when in the year of 210 B.C a hired assassin was caught trying to murder him. After this event Flavius was very scared. The coward, at the age of 50 fled to his palace in Capua and almost never came out. Only few people in which he trusted came in. In year 203 B.C a plague hit the capital. Thousands died and even more were scarred for life. Flavius became very ill. He was very weak and many believe he was paralyzed. The people of Rome knew that a new hope was coming. They knew another man would come to the throne. They were happy…
After waiting couple years the old, useless leader would not die. But this was soon dealt with by a person. No one knows who this person was, but rumors say it was his son Lucius Julius and potential heir to the throne.
In the year 199 B.C Lucius Julius left his legion under the command of his good friend Gnaeus Saccas a Roman General. Lucius Julius was spotted in towns throughout the empire. He was not spotted in Rome but many believe he was there at the assassination of Flavius Julius ….
Written text from an unknown source.
Lucius Julius slammed through the doors, with 10 armoured men behind him.
Lucius with a grin approached Flavius
Lucius: Hello Father, Haven’t seen you in a while…
Flavius: Hello son. (emotionless.)
Lucius: Why do you think I am here father?
Flavius: (After a moments silence he softly says) Leave.
Lucius: Never. I protected you. I bled for you. You and your so called Empire. You never helped, I saved this empire. I made this empire!!!
Flavius: You will never sit on this throne!
Lucius: You have done nothing to be on this throne. (slowly approaching Flavius) You almost ruined this Empire and through me Rome has expanded and has flourished. You have done nothing. And you must be relieved of your position. (Lucius Julius stood in front of him with his fists In Flavius’s face.)
Flavius: Stop!!
(Lucius laughed then turned to face his men.)
Lucius: You reek of death…
(Lucius walked out of the room ignoring the loud yelling of Flavius)
He was tense till the halls were silent. And then he smiled walking out of the palace.
He hid in a small town a few miles from Rome for a day. Then the next day he marched into Rome to claim the throne. He was greeted with festivals and feasts. News of his father had reached him and most of the citizens of the capital already accepted Lucius Julius as their new leader. It took time but soon the rest of the Roman Empire heard the news of the cowards’ death and the news of a new leader.
This was great news for Rome. For we need a strong and intelligent man to deal with these problems.
As for Servius Calvinus he was rewarded and Lucius made sure that his name was known throughout the empire. Servius Calvinus never wanted to be a leader… He was satisfied with the fame and riches that he obtained.

Well yea that's the prologue. I will start the actual AAR when i get the program that is used with screenshots. I remember seeing it somewhere but I don't know where. But if someone wants to tell me where it is or how i can take screenshots and edit them and all that stuff that would be great.
By the way. I kinda made up a lot of that since I didn't want to restart my campaign to do an AAR. So I had to make something up. This is my first AAR so any suggestions would be great. And please tell me if you like it.
