Bad boys for life!

At least, that is probably how the horde is now viewed with it's last expansion, so I think BB wars is imminent.
 
Nice animation and a well-deserved inheritance. You have fought off enough rebellions. Now on to the homeland!
 
I had no idea this was here, not being a regular (in any sense of the word) of the EU2 AAR forum. I followed the link to your AAR from your signature just today and saw this excellent AAR. I can't read it today as i am working :p and it's going to take some serious reading as well from what i can see. However, skimming through a moment ago, i definitely like this style of AAR. Straightforward with excellent screenshots. Great work and bookmarked for reading tonight and this weekend :)
 
Happy Birthday to Horde!
Happy Birthday to Horde!
Happy Birthday dear Duke!
Happy Birthday to Horde!

Now chop the heads off your Uzbek candles...

Muscovy's a nice birthday present. Good going!

P.S: If you look at Kursk in the animation, you'll see it has no fortress. Weird...
 
Geez, what is the Horde coming to these days? When my in-game fantastically rich character (who has just become even more so because he bet against the Horde conquering Muscovy and won on a technicality) was Murtada's age, the Horde didn't inherit countries--it ran roughshod over them with the hooves of thousands of horses while setting fire to anything taller than a blade of grass!

Something must be done to restore the Horde's image--we don't want our neighbors (especially our allies) to get the wrong impression.

Great work Duke, and congrats on one year! :D
 
Murtada is half-Russian and the son of Petr of Muscovy (in happier times in alternate realities he''s Peter the Great, Tsar of all the Rus) and herefore inherited his father's realm. It was the pay off for the mass Sibir revolts. The Tatar Cultural Institute is ecstatic, now is the time to show those wannabe Tartars how it's really done.

A whole year on the AAR, doesn't time fly whan you're having fun?

A couple more wars and the way to India will be open.
 
J. Passepartout - Inheriting is always good.

Storey - If your dance was anything like theirs then I hope you weren't surprised to not be invited back. Inheriting Muscovy was expected. Murtada was the son of Petr through the royal marriage arranged when Muscovy was vassalised, therefore it's logical that that he his Petr's heir too.

Nil-The-Frogg - Thanks. Nice to see you by here, there's no need to catch up on it all you can pick it up at any time if you wish. Of course if you want to its all good.

hurricanehunter - That plan is about to go astray.

GrimPagan - They are but a whisker away, a scandal at the court would send things over the edge.

Languish - Glad to hear it is to your liking. I hope you can catch up on it all and look forward to your comments in the future.

SirruShan - A very good birthday present indeed. Or will it turn out for the worse? AGCEEP has random defortification events hence the lack of one in Kursk.

FlorisDeVijfde - Thanks.

Specialist290 - Things are soon to return to how they were in the old days, but maybe not for the better.

Chief Ragusa - A couple of tough wars at that, if the next events do not throw a spanner into the works then it will be time to get onto them.

Murtada : Part 12
At last it was all back on track. Movements for autonomy were crushed decisively, Muscovy was no more and there seemed no threat on the horizon. At last after many years of hard work maybe Murtada could really kick up his feet and relax, after all he was getting on in years now.

Only a few small rebellions trouble the nation

Some quiet times are sorely needed for Murtada's hobby garden become largely indistinguishable from the surrounding steppe


Unfortunately for Murtada his gardening would have to take a back seat once again as urgent events required his attention.

A familiar sight

The response was immediate and predictable, the army was sent in to deal with the issue making sure that any negotiations were swift and to the point. But once again it would not be what was needed.

Apply Tartar sauce to rebels!

10 provinces in revolt does seem a little excessive. Your neighbours may try to take advantage of the Horde in familiar red and black plummage. This Louise is proving a persistent opponent.
 
crush the rebel scum! steamroller them with your hordes of DOOM!
 
Crush the rebels! Get out a wire coat hanger and a cheese grater!

I bet it is the work of undercover agents from the Uzbek State!

Launch the missiles!
 
You´ve created so many bad events for the Horde that you sure have earned some good events. But keep it up, and don´t let any nation have it´s independence!
 
Duke, if you could perhaps post your modded horde files so we can use them too. Otherwise, Sayyid Ahmad I just sits there on the throne and then his ghost continues ruling until 1819, or until it falls to pieces.
 
Chief Ragusa - :D I'm not sure if that would have the desired effect. I thought 10 provinces was a bit light.

J. Passepartout - Always look on the bright side I guess.

rcduggan - Welcome along (I don't think I've seen you posting before). I will do my best to steamroller them.

SirruShan - Hmmm I don't recognise that quote.

Grundius - It's the Horde rebels are what give it flavour.

The Danish King - Like everything bad it's bound to be. Most Horde missiles are made out of uzbeks too BTW.

Walter Model - I agree, but will this be the time. I could make the event files available but, the monarchs aren't written down at all, I usually just edit the existing monarchs name and stats in the savefile. All the events are set to go off at a certain date and are quite specific but would work if you wanted.

Saulta - Well the Muscovy inheritance was the good event now to pay for it.
