Dream of the Eagles - Mildly Interactive Germany AAR
History had not been kind to Germany.
Made up of a myriad of different monarchies, free cities or even republics, the absence of a strong authority and sense of identity had long divided the German states. The ‘Emperor’ of the Holy Roman Empire had concerned himself with preserving the status quo, and the divided states were more concerned with fighting among themselves for petty squabbles.
In recent history, the ascendance of the Hohenzollern dynasty had come to turn the fortunes of the March of Brandenburg around. With things looking positive among a state filled in a negative state of affairs, a simple desire for prestige and to make a difference could lead to changes unexpected. Sometimes all that's needed for greatness is a little push, even if the future is not quite clear.
Little did the lords of Brandenburg know that their story would be the story of a changing Germany...
Aims of this game:
- Unite the German states, including Austria, into a Pan-Germanic superpower.
- Establish a hegemony within Europe and become its dominant power
- Develop the capital of Berlin into one of Europe’s most developed cities
- Become #1 Great Power by the End of the AAR
- Dismantle the Holy Roman Empire or Become the Emperor!
Rules/House Rules:
1: As a story-centric AAR writer, Ironman will not be used
2: I will sometimes alter the map to clean up borders, give myself a challenge, make things ‘natural’
3: When a vote is conducted, the period of voting will last for five days. Upon voting, the highest voted decision will become added into the story. There would be no revotes, and the decision made will have a big impact on the future events of the story.
