Combine Historical Innacuracies and Over the Top Nationalism? You get A MakassAAR

JDMS - With pleasure

morningSIDEr - Do you want this AAR to be a factoid AAR like Junuxx's trebizond one? I would like to do it

Enewald - The conquests are slowing down thou, I'm staying small until I westernize

dinofs - would westernizing before 1450 make you happy?

Chapter 7 : Cleaning up Cores

News of Makassar's greatness have reached far-off lands

I accept. Why? It's a secret and I'm not telling you
Oh okay, I'll tell you

There! I've said it! Happy now?

Where were we?
Oh yes

Aceh is dying, and to make matters worse Ayutthayan vultures attacked them just a few days before I attack Brunei
Malacca is in the dirt, left with a single regiment and almost no money at all

This guarantors need to be taught that chivalry is dead, and they will be following soon. And that's my queue
Talking about queue, it's the only English word that is pronounced the same if you take 4 letters of it away. Neat eh?

Back to topic
Malacca succumbed to our superiority after just a few months, but as delicious as Malacca looked, i think I can wait 5 years for annexation and just use this opportunity to minimalize the chances of the existence of state of Malaysia in the future


Right around here my ignorance made me do a stupid mistake

I swear I chose to vassalize them! But it was all to late, I've only just realized it when I uploaded it to photobucket

The big brother aceh gave all it's moneies to me, I can't really risk getting over the BB limit yet so i accept

Coreless Malayan peninsula gets a pampering treatment

Malaysians would be very grateful in the future


Spoke too soon

The king, being the good rapper he is, decided to die early at the age of 19


But his son was already 14 so in the next year

We didn't mourn the loss of our previous monarch

Roads towards westernisation

JDMS said:

A westernized Makassar sounds cool.
Also, I see you got an avatar.

Click to expand...

It's Indonesia, but one might think it's Poland, the anti-Indonesia :rofl:

If westernizing is cool, wait until you know WHEN we westernized
GUESS THE YEAR MAKASSAR BECAME MUSLIM TECH!!!

Enewald - you got it right

morningSIDEr - okay, but I'll still pull in some wikipedia links to explain a few stuff

JDMS - the next one maybe

The last update was kinda boring. So to make it up to you, I present you

Chapter 8 : Minutes to Muslim Tech
Now THIS in an update!


Here lies our mysterious ally Persia, in the middle of shiny stuff.
Since they like shiny stuff, we should give them Perak!

Why? Please read the second paragraph of the wiki article for Perak
But I do recommend you to visit this site instead

Our many uncored provinces made us not ready for a stab hit, until

All provinces forted


All provinces except no rebel chance core province Bali-Lombok have converted
Seriously, converting an Australian enclave would take so much time, it's not worth doing now that it doesn't have a rebel chance

Checking back on our passport to westernization

What are they building??? A nuclear plant! A weapon of Mass Destruction! A Walmart store!!!
It's a temple, Shiites in Malaya, anyone?
Persians have fielded a 7000 strong army there, and they conveniently have a holy war CB on the whole of South East Asia

While waiting for a slider move, I found out about this

My centralization is only -2, but -3 would help for modernizing the military

So we get our new ruler suited up for wars and such

We NEVER mourn the loss of our previous monarch

After a long wait, the day we've been waiting finally comes


I take a slider movement towards innovative, fulfilling the prerequisites for westernization

it is temporary, soon anyone who ever had such an atrocious thought in mind would be destroyed

And the next thing we knew, this happened

And it's only 12 December 1420!!!
1 year after the crowning of our great king! Enewald got it right


To suit up with the latest global trends of the west, the young emperor became the first caliph in the East!

Weird enough, the stab hit actually lowered the rebel chance in most provinces


By 1421 we learned about the barbaric lands in the west previously concealed by the shiny stuff

Same old invisible continents and shrubbery...
And I thought westernizing would be magical

Next :
Even more unexpected stuff!

dinofs - I like the way you use italics

blsteen - sowwie if my desperate attempts of humor sounds offensive I edited it out from now on xenophobia would only be used in conquered lands

JDMS - I'll show you fast, the conquests have to wait a little more because of it

PLaying have went too far away from writing so I chose to post an update for the second time today

PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!

The year? 1424

The national issue? Boredom

The solution? Sending our diplomats to run errands a quarter way across the world for amusement


We were never so amused


Chapter 9 : The Makassari Renaissance is NOT Over Yet
In fact, it's only just started

After getting news like these

I realized that I know every single country in Eurasia plus North and East Africa, and is the only country to do so
Makassari cartographers are the best in the world!
Unlike the Malaysians in 1979
In 1979, Malaysia unilaterally published a map which describes its territorial waters encompassing areas that are owned by Indonesia, Thailand, and The Philippines. Malaysia, and sometimes Singapore when it benefits them, are the only countries recognizing the map. Malaysia used the map as base for their claims on the Sipadan Islands, which they won, and the Ambalat block, where tensions have shrunk.

Talk about small tensions

Aren't OPMs cute together? :3

Persia declared war on the warmongering, but not expanding, Ayutthaya, I take the chance to get Kelantan, which is forted and Sunni
That war was a quick one

And so was the next

This time I double checked to make sure that Brunei was properly vassalized
I also settled for Aceh's 100 ducats, I don't want any unforted province or additional 30 badboy

But the most important peace deal was this



It is mandatory to do this, not because of hatred, well partly, but mostly it was because I had a Center of Trade in Bali-Lombok
I didn't know since when, but all of the sudden goods from Indonesia flocked there. Majapahit merchants too. No Australians carrying hash thou, well, not yet at least.

We got a pretty good event

I can't choose, so I take one of both

Let's take a look on investments, shall we?


For the new idea,

The innovation happening around cost us valuable missionaries

Another side effect is this

Sweden? Looks like Paradox's nationalism is just as big as mine

Wow, time flies when you're taking screenies


Eastern tech...
Nice

Even MORE Progress

Enewald - even I find this stray of luck silly, it's ridiculous, i don't get this lucky in my serious games :wacko:

blsteen oh well haha, some ugly jokes need to be edited out, it scares away potential readers

morningSIDEr - I'm starting to think that "nice update" is part of your sig thx thou

JDMS - yes, and a lot more than that of course

Chapter 10 : Progress. Yawn.

Yes, I yawned, waiting for westernization is just plain boring

Several of our diplomats being sent to their deaths in those barbaric lands in the west came back with something

What's with this gullible Europeans thinking of us as Prester John or something

Persia seems to notice our boredom and tries to help

But they usually peace out taking one province and making our efforts worthless
Even so they are blobbing very nicely in South East Asia

Talking about blobs

That would be fun to watch if they didn't peace out like a 6 months after DoW

June 6th 1432, this happened

Is there a record for fastest westernization?
Chinese to Latin tech in 33 years that's gotta be a record!
Well if it's not... yawn


Forget what i said, the Australian enclave converted in less than a year :wacko:
Now everyone must dress modestly in the beaches!
We don't want earthquakes to happen do we? Persia is our ally after all, we don't want their theologian to get angry at us

It's a harsh time for theologians indeed, even the Pope is in trouble

Papal pretenders. You don't see them everyday

But thanks to his holiness the pope, in 1441

Right you are

We wear their clothes


We practice their customs

Popemobile!

And the military

We are now dressed to kill
Asia beware

Let the Conquests Begin!
