Reversed Ways: A Survivalist's AAR

**Aliasing** · 18-12-2010 08:54

Alright so basically this is my first AAR on DW and I want to get this right. I chose the name "A Survivalist AAR" because I'm going to be doing just that. Surviving. With a hard country to play (and I mean even on normal).

To start things off though I'm going to take a vote of what people want the country to be. (Yeah I know it's basically Naggy's Vicky 2 POPulist AAR, but hey it's the holiday season so shut up)

This will be a History Book or a regular AAR depending on whatever country I'm playing.

The Rules are Simple:
♦Whatever country wins the vote I will play (obviously) and I will do it most likely badly.
♦No resetting or any gamey tactics.
♦No cheating (horribly)
♦No mods present considering how I don't know if there are any yet
♦I will play until either my nation dies (if early on I'll just pick a new country and go from the death date)
♦And IF I am to die early on I'll pick the country that got the second most votes.
♦Also depending on the difficulty of the country I'll either be playing Normal or Hard difficulty with Lucky Nations on Random.
♦One last thing to make this AAR interesting I'm using the same world I used to make an entirely Muslim Full-Iberia Spain who controls Mexico...Just to be fun.

◘Happy Voting◘

(BTW the voting is once the country is voted on once it's added then more votes accumulate after that)

A hard nation eh?
How about an Irish minor?

**Aliasing** · 18-12-2010 09:53

Specification is good so may I ask which one because I've already done Munster

**Ashantai** · 18-12-2010 10:29

Ethiopia - very hard one to play.

**sprites** · 18-12-2010 10:44

3 provinces , poor , tribal , bordernig mamelukes , and (at least in HTTT) Casille after a few years!

**Aliasing** · 18-12-2010 18:22

Updated the votes: Ryukyu and Salzburg are tied for first so far

**tuore** · 18-12-2010 18:29

Ryukyu! I want to see how you try it. Maybe my HTTT strategy still works (made an AAR with Ryukyu, took Indochina and beat Ming, then abandoned due to lack of time).

Oh god

E: I just wrote a small report on why a WC is an impossibility: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...-impossibility.
