Not concerning the AAR or you nice little video, apparently you are a minecraft fan? :D

Kind of. Minecraft is nice for making things like intros, but I suck at the actual game. I still play it, though.

The Reign of King Damien I – Chapter IV

January 15, 878

Young Aliisza had grown to the point that she needed a guardian to watch over her. As was befitting an Abyssal princess, Queen Áine became her guardian.

%c1ine%20is%20Aliisza's%20guardian.png


February 12, 878

Fed up with Damien’s rule, the peasants of Desmond started to take up weapons. Damien sent troops to quell the riot, but he wasn’t sure that he could keep it contained.

Peasant%20riot.png


May 22, 878

Still dealing with the peasant riot, Damien started to question his Abyssal values. Maybe it would be best to tell the peasants the truth? No, I’m an Abyssal king. There’s no reason to do that. Or is there…

Damien%20questions%20his%20values.png


May 27. 878

Desmond was under attack! Norse raiders, thinking that Damien was a Catholic, landed in Desmond and started stealing whatever they could find. Damien would have none of that: only he had the right to steal from his demesne! The Abyssal soldiers, fresh from putting down the peasant riot, started to chase the Norse out of Desmond.

June 16, 878

The battle against the Norse was still going on. To add to the mess, a group of Catholic rebels decided to attack Damien’s Court Chaplain!

June 22, 878

Desmond was finally at peace: the Norse had been driven out, and the rebels put down.

Driving%20out%20the%20Norse.png


October 26, 878

As Damien was about to retire to his chambers, a mysterious man gave him a mysterious book. Once he opened the book, Damien immediately knew what it was: a gift from the Devil to aid the Abyssal kingdom!

A%20book%20from%20the%20Devil.png


December 16, 878

Damien Jr. learned from his father that the entire world rightfully belonged to the Abyssal, and decided to stop at nothing to unite the world under the Abyssal faith.

Ambitious%20Damien%20Jr..png


January 17, 879

Damien was at his various kingly duties when he noticed that Damien Jr. was missing. After looking throughout the castle for his son, Damien finally found him in one of the towers. Damien told his son that the towers were too dangerous for children and that he could have gotten hurt, to which Damien Jr. replied that he would get hurt anyway spreading the Abyssal faith. Still, Damien’s words had an impact on his son, and Damien Jr. would not climb the tower again.

Damien%20Jr.%20climbs%20the%20tower.png


April 29, 879

Damien had yet to understand the book he had received from the Devil’s messenger the previous October. But that did not keep him from continuously trying.

Damien%20can't%20understand%20the%20book.png


November 23, 879

One of Damien’s subjects, Conchobar Eóganacht-Raithlind, finally saw the darkness and converted to the Abyssal faith.

February 4, 880

Damien Jr. decided that, as the heir to the King, he could do whatever he wanted. However, King Damien quickly put a stop to that.

No%20Arbitrary%20king%20please!.png


February 27, 880

Aliisza had grown to the point that she needed a guardian two years ago; now it was Donncuan’s turn. King Damien decided to take Donncuan as his own ward, right alongside Damien Jr.

It is now a time of peace in the Abyssal realm. But will that peace last?

Does Abyssal have a description? I'm left wondering what devil-worship is described like :D
No, I haven't made a description.

Hey an update! :D

We'll have to see! I'm currently at the point in the storyline that I'm at in-game, so I'll have to play more and find out! :)

It's been a while since I could play the Abyssal file, and I have bad news.

I got a game over.

There will still be one more chapter, or maybe even two more. However, after that, I will consider this AAR finished.

This is it - the final chapter of Abyssal!



The Reign of King Damien I – Chapter V

July 26, 880

Still angry that he did not control Ormond, Damien once again sent his troops into the county.

Claiming%20Ormond%20again.png


September 10, 880

With the Abyssal forces tied up in Ormond, the Count of Leinster decided that he would make a better King than Damien. Obviously, Damien wouldn’t give up his throne, so he was now fighting on two fronts.

A%20very%20well-timed%20declaration.png


Though the Abyssal army managed to rout Ormond’s forces, every single Abyssal soldier was slaughtered by the superior numbers of Leinster.

As Leinster’s army laid siege to Damien’s castle, he prayed to the Devil for some way to drive them back. But none came.

The Abyssal realm was no more. Damien went into exile, changing his name back to the name he was born with. His descendants would practice the Abyssal faith in secret, and eventually would travel to America. One of them would work to start an Abyssal mission in a psychiatric hospital; Nine Helps Mental Hospital would never be the same.



This AAR is, as of this post, officially finished!

Who said you can't write a successful AAR, even in defeat! Frankly, it's sometimes refreshing to see -- instead of the usual 'world conquest' that dominate.

-370 is nothing...

Thanks! It was extremely sad for me to get that game over, but you can't win them all. Especially with me and CK2.

I posted a video of my gameplay for this final part of Abyssal on YouTube:

[video=youtube_share;KFJnh2_bSDo]http://youtu.be/KFJnh2_bSDo?list=UU_ce-rupxQIle_ErUNDr98A[/video]

And yes, I did lose only eight minutes into the video.
