Introduction

First, a bit of introduction. I have been reading AARs for a decent while - often lurking, though - and always wanted to write an AAR myself. But given the amount of forms of writing, the roleplaying, from the plain simple dump of screenshots to the sophisticate storybuilding and even modifying the game to fit the storytelling. Some serious, some comical.

So where does that allow me to be creative? Well, then it came to me in a dream! I doubt anyone has done an AAR as a comic! And given my success with the Flagland comics, I think such an AAR could easily be a success.

Now, you may start to wonder; 'why Ulm?' And to the critics, I say, 'why not?!' Ulm have become far more powerful in DW due to it become an administrative republic (Frankfurt share this nature, btw), which gives a +10% to trade eff, which means quick bucks.

The goal of this AAR is to build an Ulmite/Ulmish/Ulmian empire of vassals through the usage of spies.

But without further ado, here is Part 1 of the AAR.

Enjoy.

I like this, I like this very much.
 
Excellent! Svippers is on the move!
But I see something weird. According to your registered icons and most of the game screenshots, you are playing DW. Still you have to Treasurers as your advisors - even though DW only allows one of each advisor type. What's going on?

That was the hiring screen. Which is why Ulm says 'I like that guy', because while they had no real difference, I choose one of the other. And while it doesn't appear in this comic (for comic reasons!), I hired a master of mint a year later.

God, I'm really tired. I didn't even think of that and completely missed that joke there.

Also, I've been thinking of making a comedy AAR for a long time, but I'm afraid I couldn't keep making jokes and they would get boring after a while.
 
Very good. Very very good.
 
hilarious :D i demand an update every 5 minutes ;)
 
Oh? Got a link? I want to see!

Been years since I've frequented this place and I sure as hell ain't gonna go searching for it.

I remember couple for HoI2. Likely there have been others. Pretty much all concievable AAR styles have been tried out, I for example did one based on modified Monty Python sketches, several on relyricing songs and also used videos. And those were many years ago and only Monty Python one was unique at the time.
 
wow, I don't say this often but I'm really hooked on this AAR! Has anything like this ever ever been done before in these forums??

Hm, I guess. Well, it is not necessary a requirement for me to be unique, but rather unusual. And while the style may not be the first one tried, it's not like when I made the comic, I didn't expect there to be similar comics either.

I will try to ensure that I keep it updated as often as possible.

Apparent to the guy above you; yes. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't try, should it? Because I ain't going to stop either.

/me puts on monocle.
