Narrative for the mod?

**ByzantinePowerGame** · March 02, 2011, 01:44 AM

Would it be abnormal if I were to write a narrative to go along with the mod campaign I currently have going? I'm in the winter of 412 and have fought 31 battles (25 victories, 6 defeats) inflicting brutally crushing defeats on the Visigoths in central Italy, northern Italy, and then in southern France, with Honorius and his bodyguard unit ultimately locked in direct combat with the bodyguard unit of the Visigoth king, killing their king in combat. The usurper had already been killed in southern France in combat with a Roman bodyguard cavalry unit.

I checked the Vandals outside of Carthago Nova, I've destroyed some bandits and Berber groups in North Africa with a mobile group of cavalry I managed to put together, and I've lost a few naval battles here and there... Plenty to write about...

With the always intriguing Byzantines moving five field armies into or near the Balkans, I think there is a lot that could be covered from the perspective of the Emperor Honorius who has already taken to the field on numerous occasions to rout the Visigoths.

I presently have about 15+ screen-captures of various points in the campaign and I thought it'd be neat to write a running commentary from the point of view of the Emperor and some of his top officials.

I believe folks have used the term "AAR" or "after action report" to describe such a thing? Although this would be more of a running commentary/ongoing play by play account, rather than an "after" things are over, since I'm only two years into the mod and it has taken quite a while to get that far... There is a lot to do in this campaign.
