Good evening. My newest AAR needs a bit of explaining so here goes.
I am a legitimized bastard that is matralinearaly part of a long defunct minor noble house from Saxon England. During the Anglo-Saxon invasions of England one of the many warlords had a general who earned himself a minor title and founded the House of Watters. In 1066, as far as I can tell, they were what would correspond to roughly Baron in CKII near Cambridge. They backed Harold Godwinson and lost everything after Hastings. After that they show up in Wales, Cork, and possibly in Scotland. Parts of the family have since relocated to the USA with the surname surviving to the present. Or that is the history of it.
In my AAR I am hoping to change that. Because of the fact that baronies are unplayable I have edited the Count of Northampton to be a member of the House of Watters. I have edited the traits that are added to the count as follows. Since what little evidence of the family pre1066 involves their martial prowess and loyalty (including but not limited to the Coat of Arms) I have decided to give the trait Brilliant Strategist (Harold will need it). Also for story purposes I have given the traits Gardener and Diligent. The AAR will primarily be narriative and hopefully closer to my old "The Second Rise of the Sixteen Pointed Star" than my newer ones at least in quality.
Rules of the AAR:
1. The current count's traits will heavily influence how I play
2. Save Game editing will only be done for story reasons
3. Intervention by switching who I play will be done only if the AI is shooting itself in the foot and the character wouldn't necessarily do that (ie AI Harold against Normandy) also it will be done only for as short of time as possible to set the AI back on track.
4. In all regards story purposes trump all.
5. If I notice a section of a Great House pulling away from the main branch (ie Saxon Jimenez) a cadet branch will be created.
Now I have tested that everything works fine. I will start playing through and start on the first update.
