Where is Barkdreg, and more importantly, where is the next update? Perhaps he has been diverted from his writing to perform some more of his "medical research."
More likely he's dipping his wick. I tell you, some people have no sense of urgency.
Grr, update!!! Oh, and to take a screenshot, press F11, and it will (quickly) take a picture and put it in your EU directory.
Here is another update, sorry you had to wait this long but I just didn’t have the time to play or write. I’m still a bit short on time so I’ll won’t give as many details as I used to (training troops, sending traders and unimportant wars,…).
Here it comes: Granada, the long peace (1555-1573).
1555
A great victory for the great Granadan navies, we know how to use n astrolabe.
Astonishing, now our captains will actually know where they are.
In September Batna reaches Conneticut, he will now explore the North-American coasts.
Only a month later he has discovered a red-skinned people, they appear to have birds as ancestors because there are feathers sticking out of their head.
In December Batna is attacked by natives in Susquehanna, he kills them all.

To celebrate the new year we send a tax collector to Ciskei, the local inhabitants are overjoyed with the honour we bestow upon them.
February
Crimea cedes Azow to Russia.

Awesome AAR,the only thing is SCREENSHOTS!Also,can you really loot a province and steal thier maps?
-Justin

The next update will include screenshots, really! I promise!
Did I ever lie to you?
You can only get the maps when you capture the capital!
Another reason to sack Madrid( again and again and again, I think I captured that province 5 times by now).

Also winning naval battles sometimes gets you "stolen rutters". Which does the same thing as sacking an enemies capital.
Poor Sharur, updates will come after I have finished my Byzantium AAR.
But don't worry, the Byzantium AAR is will not last that long. It has already reached the same year as this AAR.
Hope you'll forgive me
