AAR-MEN-NIEN

Mod: DLV 5.2 + Unique Kings + Extra Crusade/Jihad Targets
Faction: Kingdom of (Cilician) Armenia
Difficulty: VH/VH

Description: The heroic (and hedonistic) struggle of cilician Armenia to survive and overcome the Council of Nobles the surrounding Muslim pressure. And to get rid of the unloved relatives. The goal is to form a MMORPG: Massive Multi-poster Ontopic Role-Playing Gang. The story is told through dialogues of minor and major characters (you'll never guess who is the leading actor), who eventually sing along with your youtube and the beguiling bard.
Different elements of style are used. (like blood and sex? - maybe) People are offended, ripped, violated, killed or sold for an old horse. Not exactly what you would call a Prince Charming short-story. But enough of the technical chit-chat, lets hear what a first hand survivor has to tell:

Herald's announcement:

: Hey, stop pushing me onto the stage! I'm not a girl!
: ..Oh....Hello and good evening ...I guess you are the audience. Well, what shall i say.... haven't seen a better one in a while ..

(Audience boos.)

: No offense...so i'm sent here to say something about that...thing...this..AAR-MEN-NEIN or whats it called... so..
Yes, i was there. It wasn't very nice. In fact, it was exhausting, crude and absurd. But hear:


: "There is a land far away, and in this land there is a cruel old piss-breed goat-fondling...err.. Man, and he sits in a high tower the world would not mind to crush down right now!...and there he sits and writes these manuscripts. It's no end of trouble with him, i tell you that. From one moment to the other he is rude to you for no apparent reason. And this evil Smartass uses languages none can understand. Horrible. The bad thing is, he writes these pages...they have something (rotten) that attracts the people.... Lot's of people have been caught by his creepy Story about Armenia. It's dangerous! Do not send your daugthers and son's to this man or you might never ever see them again! I suspect he eats their souls, but thats just my personal opinion..
I merely survived during my time there. I even had to sell my childrens college funds to get out of there. (Did i mention the ridiculous taxes?) Ten horses wouldn't get me back into this land."


(pauses.)

: When do i get my money?
: *nervous* For christ sake, continue to talk, the people are watching and hearing!
: I want my money or i don't say a thing anymore!

(Two big masked guys with black capes catch him and drag him off the stage.)

: Aahh, Help!

[..]

: I'm sorry, we experienced some technical difficulties. Let's all forget about that for a moment and just watch sing with this teaser instead!

Land of Confusion

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet (ah)
They're moving into the street (ah)


Now, did you heard the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night (ah)

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems

And there's not much love to go around

Can't you see this is the land of confusion? (ah, ah, ah, ah)


This is the world we live in (whohoho)
And these are the hands we're given (whohoho)
Use them and let's start trying (whohoho)
To make it a place worth living in

Glory, Honor, and Empire - An ERE AAR

Mod: Broken Crescent
Faction: Eastern Roman Empire
Difficulty: Hard/Hard

Description:
This AAR is told from the eye's of the Emperors. Occassionaly dialogue, but more of their memoirs. However, there is plenty of tales of Glory, Honor, and Empire as much of "Blood, Broads, and Bastards." Starting from the reign of Vaslikos too whoever gets selected. If they are stupid then the Empire will feel it. If they are brave and bold, then the Empire will expand. If they are just plain "Bastards" then all "Hell" could just break loose. It's up to their traits and ancillaries. Lastly there will be loads of battles, loads of screenshots, and loads of death and mayhem. Come and join in the fun!

Teaser:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Our forces rushed in with bloodlust in their eyes. The veteran Italians rushed in first with their warhammers swinging wildly and with much ferocity.


Not disciplined like our elites, but their ferocity would do. Making quick work of some scattered Turk infantry; Efthymios, who always like to fight on foot, led the regiment of Kontaratoi Pikeman following behind the heavy infantry to mop up the scattered remains of Turkish 'pride.' We would give the a new smile from the edges of our 'kontarion makions.' No mercy would be shown, not one bit


Horses, men, women and children who got in the way of our charge would not be spared. The god's of old said, "Fortune favors the bold..." well we didn't care who said it we were acting on it. Our weapons tore the Turks apart, one Italian used only the spiked end of his hammer, because the Turks had captured his family and had them crucified with nails. Another took to smashing the skulls in of the Turks that fell. The Italians spared no one who fell into their path.

Pagan Hordes - A Lithuania AAR (Completed)

Mod: Stainless Steel 6.1 (no sub-mods)
Faction: Lithuania (Early Era)
Difficulty: VH/VH

Description: A migration campaign following the life of Saugardas, descendant of a pagan Hungarian exile, who joins the Lithuanian horde. He has one goal, overthrow Christendom, or die trying.

Comments: This is my first AAR. I've always liked migration campaigns, and pagans are always fun to play

[Romanos IV]

Let us hope that the best writing will carry the day!

[LlamaD]

Well, imo Pagan Hordes has the better concept, picture selection, updates, story and Ending (so far) than Glory, Honor and Empire. I hope he can come back from behind.
Voted for the heathens.

[Confederate Jeb]

Same man.
