This being my sixth AAR in one year, I couldn't bring myself to repeat my previous styles, especially since after my last one the majority vote was for a Panjab AAR and I'm not as easily inspired by big countries (and Panjab -> India gets big...) as by small, struggling ones. I've experimented with comic AARs before, though not in this forum and not in this style (if you google 'Oran' (the name of the AAR) and 'Seleucos of Olympia' (my username in TW-related fora) you can find one I once did for Empire: Total War). I still don't know how time-consuming this will get, but that's part of the experiment. If I have to cut it short, it will be a first among my Vic2 AARs, but well worth it for the experience, I hope.
The art style can only be described as derivative. 'MS Paint Adventures' and 'The Order of the Stick' (not to mention 'Cyanide and Happiness' and even more minimalistic webcomics such as 'xkcd' and 'Abstruse Goose') have influenced it immensely. Nevertheless, I hope it will have some entertainment value here.
Without further ado, I present:
