Before you get started there are a few things you should know. Just a few basic things:
- The date the AAR starts is 1 July 1098 however I've been playing since the 1066 start date. It was my first time playing as the Muslims and I didn't expect much but the area has grown on me.
- There will be two ways you can read this AAR. One is through the book images I will provide as noted below. Another will be with the regular text the forum provides. Both will be identical except for how they display. I'm also doing this because I've noticed Tinypic has assassinated some of my images and even photobucket has dropped some from my older AARs. So to keep the work all there, I'm going to have one image copy and another text. Both will have links on this post so if you prefer one over the other you can access it. The text method is really just so my work doesn't go to waste in a year's time.
- The first images below are a sort of test to see how the text works for the forum. I was testing out a few different sizes so the initial post is a little uneven. You'll get over it somehow.
- This is a history book AAR and pictures will be inserted into both the image and text versions. There aren't many here because I hadn't realized I would write an AAR about this game. However, beginning with the first chapter there will be pictures in the book images much like you would see in a real book, or at least like my Von Weimar project.
- There will likely be mistakes in the image version since once its posted I'm not going to be willing to correct them. However, the forums have this awesome delete key I can use to make changes to my text. So if I spot any incorrections at least the text version of these updates will be correct.
- Lastly, just this one time I'm adding pictures to the bottom of the text post. This will give you an idea of how the world looks and what I have to contend with. So the first update of this Prologue is text heavy but give me another update and you'll have a decent image/text blend.
- Lastly lastly, each update will likely be between 800 - 1200 words and should - should - come in weekly intervals.
- Really lastly, not only do I really not know much about the game but my knowledge of the people in this region is relatively limited so we're using CK history here.
