The Last Mission A Love Story
There is no way to peace along the way of safety. For peace must be dared, it is itself the great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security. To demand guarantees is to want to protect oneself. Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of almighty God, not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross.
Technically we are waiting for a final update from Peter, but something tells me (that would be the 8 or so months since we finished the game) that we aren't going to see it

Okay, somebody was kind enough to bring this great game up in another sub-forum, and it struck me that even though I never got around to writing a final piece, anybody silly enough to read the AAR after all this time might want to know what the Blasted Numidians were up to in the last session, which made Wyvern's and Jarkko's spurious claim of supremacy so laughable.
The information was already present in the screenshots, but none of the readers seems to have connected the dots. To see what went on, look first at Jarkko's screenshot from 665 (left) and then compare it with the screenshot from 684 (right)
Now, what are the map changes? Wyvern's Pontus took a province from Jarkko's Egypt and continued colonising Germany. So what. Big deal. No, the important thing is what happened in Numidia. Not only did the German colonisation continue and not only did the conquest of the British isles begin, and not only did Numidia insert a rather remarkable blob in the middle of Italy, no, Numidia, in a drastic succession of wars with atrocious casualties, managed to drive a highway through Roman Hispania, thus giving the vast majority of the Numidian holdings, that had until then been suffering from no-connection penalties, a land connection to the capital.
And thus the dancing god-emperor rocked on!

Finally got around to writing a list of my AARs in the inkwell.
For those interested in Dominions 3 (SP or MP), there is an introduction thread to Dom3 in this thread run by Jarkko.
Currently slowly writing Born to Breed: The Estridsen Lectures, a Crusader Kings 2 AAR of the upmost seriousness. Last updated June 29th, chapter09.
Recently wrote an Endless Space Guide for 4X Veterans, which might be useful to people new to the game.
It's.. it's.. IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN UPDATED!?
Thanks Peter, I never dared to comment here because when I got around the AARland this had already gone to sleep but now I had the chance and used it
That's just awesome conquering by all of you and what an awesome AAR it allowed to be written!

Pfft. Anybody who plays Rome and understands the game mechanics and events will understand just how great a difference it would have made to Numidia to land connect the vast majority of its provinces.
Yes, this could hypothetically be the case. And, of course, in case a Rome 2 is ever made, who knows what would happen then?Probably not with Rome, but we may just have something I the pipe-line for CK2![]()

I can see the whole thing starting again.. We just need an opinion from the pharaoh
In case someone has the savegame left the only way to solve this would be fight no holds barred match between all of you and see who walks out
CK2 sounds cool, I don't know is painting maps like these possible in it but seeing you three throwing gloves off and doing something like this would be absolutely great, even if I don't own the game myself.

Eastern provinces tend to be richer and more populous so no doubt that land connection warped Numidia forward a lot, but enough to beat Pontus? Given that Egypt and the Seleucids still have the great majority of the Fertile Crescent I might be willing to believe it, but only just!![]()

Good lords! Almost two years passed. But 'tis nice to see that A) we finally get the end-state of Numidia and that B) even after two years, the contestants still manage to throw around exaggerated claims and insulting comments.![]()

Dear lord, did Peter actually finish up his part?And he did it in a pure propaganda format too? Spesifically, *what* province did Pontus take from Egypt between those two screenshots?
O tempora, o mores...
I prefer the term differently rational.
Awesomeness.
Because yeah, I missed the June "necro" for some reason (yes, indeed I wasn't around for the start but that "necro" is when I should have commented), and well, this is some fantastic stuff. And it's great to see you guys still have just the right amount of animosity.![]()
