This is my first AAR, so don't feed me to sharks..:)

Game settings:
EU2 1.09
AGCEEP 1.39
MyMAP
Very Hard/Coward (so they also build something not kill each other)
GC (starting on 1st Jan of 1419)
Country: Timurid Empire

Goals:
- Fun
- Somewhat (alternatively) historical growth (hate WCs)
- Quality over quantity (see above)
- Continuation into Vicky

Introduction:
This will not be a great fanfic AAR, rather a semi-historical story with occassional humour injection there and there based on my ability to think up something silly about those weird things game often does.
 
Prologue



Shakh Rukh woke up right next to his youngest concubine Whatwashernameagain o'Doesntmatter and stood up like a nail - he was used to riding not lying around.
- So, where did I stop at..?!

He remembered that during the fireworks of New Year, brought to us by those little thin-eyed guys, he had thought about making a couple of New-Year presents to the people around.
he started with the nobles..

..and wanted to continue with peasants but realised he was not rich enough to send gifts to all of them, so he rolled the dice saying:
- If the it's the eagle, then mongols get gifts, if the number, turkomans do.
..the coin stood on the side so, persians got it..



Having felt like al Santa for a moment Shakh Rukh sent out an order to mint some beter coins, so next time he flips one there is no embarassment..

Making friends

Shakh Rukh and his brave men had been sitting around without action for three moons now.



He felt something must be done about it and better sooner than later, so he sent an emissary to his old pal Qara Yuluk Uthman.
The mission was very dangerous if not impossible, because the emissary had to travel through hostile territories of Qara Koyunlu, the land which some called the land of 'sheep'.
Well, Ak Koyunlu was reportedly 'sheep' too, but it didn't really matter - sheep might not be the best weapon against sheep, but it's not the worst as well.
At least until the flock of Ak has more tups than the Qara herd..

Qara Yuluk was very impressed about emissary's courage and skill when he arrived at the castle.
He was also very willing to discuss an alliance against the other sheep.
From the stories about his great enthusiasm people will later make a saying 'he was following like a sheep'.

Soon after Qara Yuluk Uthman's pledge of allegiance the local sheiks of Al-Haasa started worrying about their shiite safety in the sunnic world around them.
Shakh Rukh had recently shown signs of goodwill towards shiite sect, therefore some of the sheiks were willing to join an alliance with mighty Timurid Empire.
There were other opinions aswell and when the sheikhs met at their council palace in Qasif, a heated discussion erupted.
However, apart from some hospitalisations and death of one sheik from 'excessive burnt wounds' (as described by local newspaper 'Sheikh And The Town'), everything turned out well to the empire's cause..



Shakh Rukh was a lustful man and was quickly growing bored with the wives he had, therefore it was a very fortunate event when the beautiful princess of Ormuz, Sheherezada, daughter of chief Malik, came of age to be wed.
Shakh didn't lose a single day, but sent his best negotiators to Ormuz and the answer was not long to wait for..



It took a couple of months to organise the wedding properly - fireworks had to be imported from the people of East, the latest fashion of lingerie had to be bought as a present for the bride, some invites had to be sent to places close and far, some sheep had to be butchered and other, not less important things had to be done..

Chief Malik took part in the even as well, and was so impressed of Shakh Rukhs great wisdom, wealth and the undergound chambers of the palace, that signed a military alliance without thinking.
 
Great start! And it´s on Mymap to! I will follow this one for sure!!!
