EDIT: Well, Norgesvenn restarts, the little retard. How's that for alliteration? :D

Well, let us get the OOC/settings/goals and all that out of the way first. :)

Settings: Hard/Normal, 1.05 and EDIT: Without the EEP.
Goals: Quite obviously to keep the Union of Kalmar intact, and hopefully annex Sweden diplomatically before Gustav Wasa ascends to the throne (yeah, like that will ever happen... Sweden is immune to that sort of thing).
To build a colonial empire wherever one can.
To gain control of the entire Baltic region (coastal).
To remain a major player in Europe until 1819.

Modifications: Mad King James' "colony names" mod, adding colonial names to the "colonynames" file, including Danish ones.


Hopes: To beat those blue and yellow neighbours of ours... ahem... blue and yellow and put them in their place as a pawn for the greater Kingdom of Denmark and Norway. That is if Norway chooses option a) in the End of the Union of Kalmar event... :rolleyes:

Oh, and of course to entertain you! :)

Thanks to: shawng1, Lord Durham, MrT, SecretMaster and Warspite for showing me how to write an AAR. And to Peter Ebbesen for being Danish... :D Oh, and thanks to MrT and Lord Durham for condoning this project. :)

EDIT: Shoot, I forgot two people I owe a lot too, AAR-wise. Ariel for providing "England - Something Different" in the EU I AAR forum. Avocado Aguila for his Knights AAR.

I'd state that I wrote my first AAR because:
- I was inspired by SecretMaster's "Union of Kalmar" AAR. A great read.
- Lord Durham's "Free Company" AAR.
- Ariel's "England - Something Different"
- MrT's "A Few Of My Possessions" and "Siebenbürgen" AARs
- Warspite's AAR in Italian. Which I understood nought from. But it had me realising that anything goes. No offense! :)
- Mimir's "Pax Norvegicus". If that c*** can do it, so can I.

Anyway, cheers you lot! :)

Okay, let's go, then! :)

Edit II: Seriously, I'll spank myself silly repeatedly with a "rakfisk" until I can tell the difference between "too" and "to". I really am.

When you annex Sweden, could you post a couple CK screenshots for us? :D

Hope your back recovers...or maybe not. If you're forced to lie flat on it, who knows what might happen. ;) :D
 
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy !

I will miss some great AAR starts while on holidays !

I hope you will put screenies in yours Norgesvenn !

The knight turned red. He quickly put on his helmet and gave his manservant a beating.


EDIT: Well, I had to keep that one, didn't I??? :D

I'm as keen on CK as anyone else. In fact, I'll apply for the beta, but I doubt I'll get it... love the concept, though. :)

My back's really a goner. Can't think of how I did it, though. I mean, I'm used to lifting and carrying sh**, so why now?? Oh, well... on with Denmark, then. :)
 
You're off to a nice start, Norg...I certainly wouldn't have been able to resist annexing those two either (nor did I when I played Erik's reign in the Denmark collaborative AAR. After that, it's vassal time...particularly considering that you're going to join the "Revolt-of-the-Month Club" as well as "Badboy Quarterly".

I know of a few things that will help take your mind off your back: 3 litres of red wine and 2 packs of smokes.
 
Denmark's hard in the way that you have so many minors just waiting to be exploited (folks, don't think of this as me condoning child pornography), and a CB against Holstein means a war with the lot of them. ;) :) Still, you have a huge Poland and a Burgundy waiting to pounce.

I think I might surprise you with what I've done so far... ;)

Still, I'll keep up the post rate. I'm burning and aching for this one (meaning that I throw stuff whenever I get "Failure! We've lost a battle agains Rebel Scum in <insert province name>").
;)
 
another first-timer. welcome. i'm going through the pains of losing my AAR virginity myself.

It's awful, innit? ;)

Still, I'm not really a first-timer... (check the signature for the C.V.) :)
 
Quite nice Norgesvenn (is that Norwegian Son by any chance?).

I like the minimalist approach, but you're conveying enough that it was pretty obvious what was happening in the game.

And I liked the bit of the army about to face the Holsteiners.

Now...where's my manservant?? I'm sure he needs a beating straightaway.



(As I reread that last line, I realize it could be misconstrued...:D )

i'll probably beat my manservant sometime tonight. :D

Norgesvenn - i was apprehensive about doing an AAR at first, but i think i'm settling into it.

Actually, "norgesvenn" is a derogatory term. It's used to describe (mainly) musicians strangely popular in Norway (we're redneck county x 3), while despised elsewhere.

Examples:
Smokie...
Dolly Parton...
Randy Crawford...
The Eagles...
Bonnie Tyler...

That should say it all, eh? ;)

It's a sin... ;) :D
C'mon... tell me! Did I really write something that's even remotely connected to flogging the dolphin/spanking the monkey?

:confused:

I have to admit, there was something strangely Freudian about the line. Not that I'd ever stoop to twisted humour like that...

BTW, how about, 'Pulling the Goalie', or 'Priming the Flashpan'? :eek:
 
D'oh! 1421, and we're down to intimate contact with... ahem... you know... well, look! A pigeon!!

Okay, okay... I did it again...

Sorry Norgesvenn.

I seem to be the culprit who turned your serious AAR into talk about self-love.

I promise I won't do it again. It already hurts enough shaving my palms.

I have done that all by myself... so don't worry! :)

Norway, a redneck country? Posh. Come, see the South, where rednecks have been bred to a high form :D

Plus, you're not really redneck until you're listening to Hank Williams Jr. Something about Bocephus that just brings the country out in your soul...or maybe that's your gut..;)

LOL! :D

Going for an honourary citizenship in Canada are we, eh? What the heck, eh...you've got it, eh. Come and visit us, eh, and LD and I will take you out to see all the great sights of the GTeh (Greater Toronto Area). There's the BB area, C area, CC, area, D area, DD, area, and the fearsome EEE area! :eek: :D

Oh! Look! Another pidgeon!
 
Chief Scientist says focus on the game!

Conquer the Germans, annex the Swedes, eradicate the French, restore the English to Danish rule, wipe out the Poles, the Russians, the Austrians, and the Italians, rid the world of the Spanish, and Portuguese, and when that is done, conquer the rest of the world as Denmark.

Just a friendly suggestion in case you lack inspiration :D
