Hi all!

Since I'm done with school and have no job at present, I find myself with lots of time on my hands, and the desire to whip up an AAR.

So, please make some suggestions. I'm willing to try just about any country in the IGC 2.1 on Hard/Aggresive and all majors off. Some obvious exceptions are the Incas, Aztecs, and Iroquois.

How 'bout England? You could try something a little different: Take Tunisia as a base in the Med, then gain a foothold in Northern Italy, say Genoa, and from there on just expand in Northern Italy. For good measure, beat up on the French, keep a strong alliance with the Spanish and don't convert to Protestantism. When ever anyone clears a province of natives, send a colonist or trader before they can. Eventually take all of England, and two or three French provinces ajoining it. I forgot: annex Ragusa early. After a while, concentrate on India. Finally, grab a Dutch province or three and work east and south from there.

Could be a fun read, I am sure.

maybe play as one of the north african muslim kingdoms? i don't see many people taking that route. word of warning though, they don't start off too strongly. i was tooling around as morocco the other day, and got my ass chewed by an algiers/hafsid alliance.

what about the mughal empire? that could be interesting. see if you can prevent the europeans from ever gaining a foothold in india. of course, they're exotic tech levels, but they get some decent military leaders and can field pretty impressive armies.

one of the khanates, maybe? see if you can get to siberia before russia, and keep the bear boxed into europe.

just a few suggestions.

One of the small Itallian states...

the golden Horde...

Or saw this idea in another post - start up a game w/say Spain, set catholic religious slider to min, avoid fighting any rebels, wait for gov'tmt to fall, wait for new nation (catalonia, etc.) to form, mod the files, and take over and govern the new nation.

Or try Serbia or Greece.

Anything but one of the big 8.

Wow!

more replies than I expected, thanks! I believe I will start as Mughal, as that got the most suggestions, and see how it goes.

Expect me to post the first part some time tomorrow under a new thread.

Side tracked

Well, I got side tracked, so I won't get a chance to start until Saturday night at best.

I've decided to try out Saxony, just for kicks, instead of the Mughal empire.
