Hi there, asd21593! Just finished reading your AAR, and I have to say I’m impressed. It is one of the finest history book AARs I’ve seen, and you managed to create an alternate yet believable world. Apart maybe from the early discovery of Vivaldia, which would have been near impossible with the nautical technology of the day.
I was staggered with the initial fast expansion of the Orthodox Empire, how you managed to put off badboy and keep it stable. I was of course outraged with the attack on the Hautevilles, though. After the initial war and the peace treaty, the Byzantine attack on Sicily was outright treacherous, I’d say. Served them right to lose Sicily and all of Italy once again to the Pope!
And I loved the Mongol onslaught. Seems that the Orthodox Empire was a giant on feets of clay, considering how fast it crumbled. However, I always like a relam in distress or even crumbling, so I enjoyed the Mongol attack greatly.
Fine work, altogether. Now on to Part Two!
