You may have renamed to .jpg but you didn't convert it to .jpg. There are several (yes, lots) softwares that can do so, even Microsoft Paint!

Open your .bmp file, and then Save As .jpg image. Voilà!

As for fantasy events, you could always create them yourself (As I have in my currect Norway AAR in the works). Or you could just edit your savegame from time to time to reflect events. I am imagening some sort of "lebensraum" event for the armanians, if they beat back the infidels (Changes culture in several provinces to armanian), etc.

And a nice begining! Looking forward to chapter II!

Chapter II , "It must be the work of the devil!"




One more upprising!?´

Strat was furios. He had spent the last years putting down revolts in Astrakhan, and he was getting realy tired of it.

(Political crisis happened 3 times in a row!)

When things started to get a little bit calmer, Strat decided it was time to marry away his daughters. His children went to Moldova, Wallachia, Serbia, Moscovy, You name it. Nearly all Orthodox nations had a royal marriage with Strat's Armenia.

Strat was getting suspicus about the wealth of Quara Koynlu. "It is something strange with them, besides that they are servants of the devil and worshippers of deamons. I think, no, i KNOW, that they are child rapers, are satisfying their lust with goats, and even worse things! IT IS TIME TO CRUSADE AGAINST THE INFIDELS!

Armenia declared war against Quara Koyonlu.

The infidels in Kurdistan honored our military alliance "CAN YOU GET ANY THICKER?!?!? HAHAHA!"

Zac lead the Trabzon regiment into Azerbaijan and some guy named Titilius attacked all those "Moslem Undercover agents"(Rebels, in pure english) , like Strat said.

The war went well, and Zac did just have to sit there in the mountains and await the Quaras attacks, though he defeated them easily up there. A peace treaty was signed 16th January 1432, where Quara Koyonlu ceded Azerbaijan and 50.000 ducats to Armenia."Hah! I knew it! Those infidels can't even fight! HAHA! was the words of Strat when he signed the peace treaty.

Strat spent some years building up the realms of Armenia, , promoting Baliffs and stuff, when the chocking news came:

Ak Koyonlu left our military alliance and declared war on Armenia, 14th June 1436

When Strat heard it, he fell silent. His face was slowly growing red, and after a minute, he Exploded:

WHAT?!? HOW DARE THOSE INFIDEL GOAT LOVERS ATTACK US?!?! IT MUST BE THE WORK OF THE DEVIL!!! MOBILIZE ALL OUR FORCES, WE ARE GOING TO WAR!

The white sheeps had a big advantage, their army was much bigger then Strats. Acctualy, they out numbered his Armenia regiment 6 to 1 (!).

The war did not go so well in the beginning, "The goat lovers" as they where now known in Armenia captured Trabzon and Azerbaijan. Strat how ever, send in Zac in Kurdistan, hoping to make it fall fast. He raised a new army of 6000 lojal subjets in Astrakhan at the same time, who went to sivas, besiging the city.
To Strats happines, the Infidels in Azerbaijan died of attriation in the snowy mountains up there, so he send Zac, who had just made Kurdistan fall, attack them.

The Goat lovers army was completly destroyed uo there, so the Army of Armenia moved on to Nuyssaybin, aplace full of Shiite moslems, who according to Strat, "Was not any better than the shit in the Ottoman Sultans arse and there fore deserved to be called "Shit" Moslems instead".
Nuyssaybin fell fast, and the rest of the Armenia regiment went down to Sivas to help the besiegers there. And only a week after that Zac arrived, Sivas fell. Armenia now controlled every province of Ak Koyonlu, but there was only one minor problem left.

That 29k army besiging Armena was very, very scary. So, Strat decided to besige Trabzon who the goat lovers had taken before the siege of Armenia, and it fell quickly. Armenia fell a month before Trabzon, so Strat could unfortunatly not sign a humiliating peace with Ak Koyonlu. Zac recived news from his scouts that the Infidels where marchin ti him in Trabzon, and he prepared for battle.

The Battle itself was short, and Zac was defeated. He retreted to Armenia, where he began to besiege. The Goat lovers army tried to attack him constantly, but they where allways beaten back(OOC: God bless the mountains!). After some months, Armenia Capitulated, And Strat with hyserical laughter and unfocused eyes, demanded Nuyssaybin and Sivas and Vassalisation of the goat lovers, and he got it the 15th July 1440.

"Well, THAT SHOULD TEACH YOU A LEASSON!, HEATHEN!" Strat shouted to the Sultan when he left Kurdistan to go home to Armenia after the peace conference.

Now it was time to look for new allies, and strat found one in Georga. Armenia entered a military alliance with them in 1432.

Only a week after that the alliance had started to work, Georgia decided to declare war on Quara Koyonlu, another heathen.
Strat took the news with a bone-freezing hysterical laughter, and attacked Tabriz who only had 1000 phatetic soldiers, (Quara Koyonlu had been reduced to only contain it's capital Province, Tabriz) Who where easily crushed by the Armenian horse-army.

Tabriz fell fast, and Quara Koyonlu was annexed by Armenia.


When King Alexander(hearby known as "Alex") of Georgia and Strat sat and drank a beer together in the royal caslte in Tbilsi(+200 releation) After the succesicve war against the infidels in Quara Koyonlu , a messenger came in.
Strat and Alex stoped to talk about the succesive Inquistion(Sivas convert to state religion) in Sivas, swallowed their beer and looked at the messenger, who was fighting to keep his pace down.

" My lords, Constantinople have fallen! the heathen Ottoman has made it their new Capital!"

Both Strat and Alex fainted.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I will post a screen shot some time.

Anyway, new lands of Armenia:

Azerbaijan, Tabriz, Nuyssaybin, Sivas and a Vassalised Kurdistan

Feed back!

Political crisis three times in a row, that sounds familiar. Sometimes I am convinced that there is something wrong with the game when you get a string of political crises like that.

Strat is a busy man, his reason for war was very noble, children and goats, my, my, now that simply have to be punished.

I was really worried for a while when the lying goat lovers turned on you but with God’s help you managed to trash those rotten murderers from hell, great.

You got some inquisition going too and you captured a lot of new provinces as well, great job.

I like the style of this AAR, nicely written and funny to read.

“Go forth and brandish the sword, like dauntless warriors, against the infidels”

Yes indeed, very nice start! :) I love Strat! Must be one of the coolest AAR characters I have seen! :D His insane look on the world is.... refreshing! :D

I take it you are going for the Ottomans now, before they get any stronger, or perhaps expand a bit more into the east before taking them on?

If you want a challeng then you should let the ottos bee and consentrate on the mamluks and then take the ottos when they have grown stronger.

By the way, nice AAR.

I agree. Well, the story is yours, you may have any culture you want!:cool: I support your idea, as long as you don't want to have all the cultures from afghani to yorumba(sp?)!:D

By the way, I also like Strat... he's a wise guy and a good ruler (sic)! I'm glad with your success also. And... how about your gold inflation?
