This is a Tunisia AAR without a witty title.

Krokerik · Jul 15, 2010

I decided to make another AAR now that I've rested a bit since my last one. This one is with Tunisia and starts in 1474, I started in 1399 so you missed the first struggling years but basically I allied Morocco early on and then we crushed Algiers from both sides. Me using Blitzkrieg and Morocco using their large armies. then I force-vassalised Tripoli and later on diplo-annexed them.

This is my neck of the woods, still allied to Morocco and Granada. Granada has managed to escape annexation because Castille got in a PU under Portugal, and Portugal had no interest in them. What you can't see is that I own Alexandria, wich I took from England when they declared a crusade on Morocco, England had taken it earlier from Mamluks.

And the world. A few interesting blobs.

My goals are to keep all Europeans and Christians out of Africa. I'm going to focus on trade and I'll conquer CoTs that are stealing trade from my CoT in Tripolitania. If you can come up with any more interesting/challenging goals please do share.

I'm playing with IN 3.2 and Eriks Mod, which is a unreleased personal mod. It doesn't affect gameplay because the only thing I did was take every flag and redraw it in Paint.NET. This makes the game run smoother because I have reduced the size of the flags from 17 kb to 3-4 kb.

That's probably the wittiest title on this forum.

Good luck with your AAR; I'll be reading, creepily.

Wittest thread title, but I suppose the AAR itself technically lacks a title?

Tunisia is always intresting to me, I love its position. For a challenge, I would say take Rome in a Fourth Punic war. That's always fun for me

That was a weird coincidence.

Thanks, enjoy.

I've actually been working on a form Carthage decision.

no_aar_title

I continue idly without anything of interest

I get an alliance with Persia.

The Mamlukes attack my ally Najd and I decide to help them. (New rule, answer to all Call to Arms but I don't have to be helpful.)

First battle versus Mamlukes.

Najd is attacked by Hedjaz.

Now I see where the Mamluke army is, they've been stuck in a newly conquered province with only one cog this side of Africa. I'll have to take advantage of this while I can.

First siege won and defended.

No thank you.

After making peace for Libya and Asyut I get this message:

Granada had been attacked by a Castille that had gotten out of its PU, Portugal followed them. Their navy had been annihilated by Morocco and now they were bringing the fight to Iberia, I whitepeace with Portugal and help with the invasion.

I take Murcia and Granada gets Cadiz, I don't want them to get too strong because I have some interest in their provinces.

Map of the Mediterranean.

Map of the world. That Ming might become a challenge.

I have to get better at taking screenshots.

Nah, they'll probably collapse. France on the other hand...

Just copy the Byzantine one. Replace the province requirements, naturally. What flag will you use for the Carthaginian Empire?

A weakened Castille will make them even more interesting.

I actually did copy it, I'm still deciding on cores but I'm 95% done.

I tried googling for a flag but didn't find anything, so I looked at what Paradox had used for EU: Rome and found this:

I re-drew it and used it as flag. I don't know what they as reference for that flag but it's the best I've got.

I'll probably be gone doing stuff until 25th.

You could use the flag used in Rome: Total war, it might translate into a better flag for a nation. That flag also has a primitive feel to it, when you are obviously superior to those heathens in Europe

I agree, the R:TW flag is better.

Krokerik · Jul 16, 2010

Ok, I'll remake this one.

Can anyone please proofread this?

Code:

}

I can't get it to show in the list of decisions.

sprites · Jul 25, 2010

did you add everything needed when you create a new country? if you just made the decision it won't work

Krokerik · Jul 25, 2010

I added them in the Countries file in Commons and in the Countries folder. I gave them a History-file and I added

CAR;Carthage;;Byzantisches Reich;;Imperio Bizantino;;;;;;;;;x
CAR_ADJ;Carthaginian;;Byzantische;;de Bizancio;;;;;;;;;x
CAR_ADJ2;Carthaginian;;Byzantisch ;;de Bizancio;;;;;;;;;x
To a Localisation file.

i didn't find errors in there , should show up when not at war

Krokerik · Jul 25, 2010

Shouldn't it show up anyway? War: No is not under Potential. Update coming soonish, definitely today, in some timezone.

Krokerik · Jul 26, 2010

I DoW Aragon when they are not affiliated with Castille but they are allied with Portugal, but I'm sure that will only prove a minor nuisance. I am looking to expand my control over the Western Mediterranean.

I hope to get a positive yearly income soon.

Sieges are in place, Morocco managed to get to The Baleares before me. My army in Sardinia is hidden below the Portuguese navy.

I find their main army but decide that it's not worth it. Instead I help Morocco to invade Portugal.

France took a bit of Portugal and Morocco has started winning.

Morocco gets rewarded and I establish a border with France.

They've taken a province north of Adal too!

Granada does not value our protection that much after all.

A new Sultan, doesn't seem too incompetent.

I had a positive yearly income here for a while but then my Master of Mint died.

While I wasn't looking Granada and Morocco had gotten themselves into a war with the Iberian powers. Granada lost two provinces to a Portugal about to collapse.

Northern Europe is revealed and I discover an independent Finland.

I start a war with Castille and Granada has lost before the war even properly started. You can also see that Morocco had gained a province from Portugal in the war that I didn't participate in.

A new Sultan.

I think Morocco has beaten the Castillians pretty good because they have given me very little resistance. Also I've taken The Baleares from Aragon.

Sardinia changes religion, not to the one I had hoped though.

Morocco has peaced out so I decide to end the war. A weakened Granada will probably be easier to vassalise.

Damnation! This means WAR!

Or not... Either way really.

Inside black borders are enemies and within the red borders are allies.

Where should I move my eastern border?

This is a Tunisia AAR without a witty title.
