A Perfectly Accurate Historical Retelling of the History of Holland, The Netherlands, and The Surrounding Lands:
Volume 1: 867 - 1444
This is my first time writing an AAR, and my first time actually participating in the paradox community at all. So uhh, hi guys, nice to meet you.
The theme of this game is thus: Basically I wanted to write a somewhat humorous story in the manner of a highly propaganda filled textbook/collection of historical journals following my grotesquely screenshotted playthrough of CK2 I've been doing. I didn't originally plan on making an AAR as I never have before, but in an effort to stop uploading so much to my steam page, I decided I'd rather make a narrative than a massive collection of pictures. I'd also love to know what you all think about it. So feel free to critique and comment. I've only been playing these games for about four years now, but they've been personal favorites ever since.
I decided to play as Holland because in every paradox game I've played, I always seemed to gravitate towards the dutch nations. They always seem to be a good combination of difficulty and promise, and both colonization and conquest are viable options for them I've found, so I decided to just continue to roll with that ball. I made a pretty average character quickly in the creator and hit go.
I suppose I should link the mod I used, that's probably the polite thing to do, and with how much I love playing in it, it's the least I can do to say "thanks" to Nivve for making it: Dynamic Duchies by Nivve
