A few days ago I decided to stop work on Rise of the Folkungs, and while I wont be beginning this for a little bit(Though I will put an intro chapter to set it up up pretty soon) I figured I would just create the thread and start the groundwork for it.
As the Title suggests this AAR will take place in Feudal Denmark in 1157 AD beginning with Valdemar the Great(Though whether he lives up to his namesake remains to be seen) Ive done a little research and I think I know enough to begin it at the end of a 10 year civil war between Valdemar and two other Claimnants, Canute V and Sweyn III, just before the blood feast of Roskilde which will be the first true chapter.
In terms of gameplay it will be slightly different than my previous AAR in several ways, the first being that illnesses will be turned up to make it more difficult to maintain a family( Especially in this case since Clan Estrid is pretty small) and I will also have raiding unrestricted since the Danes did quite a bit of that even after becoming Feudal. The later start should also help with bordergore as well.
Other than that most will remain the same, I will not be playing Ironman though I wont do any save-scumming unless something super unrealistic happens, and I will also be playing characters based on their traits so there will be times where the ''wrong'' decision is made.
Anyway this wont be truly started for a little bit, but I just figured Id create it now and I hope you enjoy because it should be entertaining.
