I welcome you to my first EU4 AAR- a continuation from my CK2 Game where I begun as Ioan Basarab- the Founder in 1310 and managed to form the – fictional- Empire of Carpathia consisting of the in-game kingdoms of Wallachia, Hungary and Serbia. If you are interested, the CK2 Report was named Curtea Domnească de Basarab - A Wallachian AAR (The Royal Court of Basarab) which you can find it here , it may help with becoming familiar with characters, folklore and beliefs which are native to the history which was shaped at the CK2 Game but not exactly similar to the historical reality(warning, may be image heavy!).
I will present a prologue as an introduction to this AAR and I would be more than glad to potential game strategies or tactical errors you may see since I am a very new EU 4 player!
It goes without saying there are no hard feelings towards Catholics, Paulicians and so forth
