Look at the bottom of this post for a personal trek through time and updates on other AARs.
First, Egypt? Well, at the end of my Maintain the Monarchy AAR I had a few suggestions: Madagascar, Oman, Hawaii, etc. and while playing around I was able to do something with Oman but I didn’t write it down. Hawaii is all alone and Madagascar is an unciv bordering no one so they’re about as screwed as a stripped bolt.
But in writing another AAR I wanted to choose a nation that could be competitive on the world stage, or at least be a part of it. So I chose Egypt. I played with them once or twice for a few years but got bored. Thus this AAR is born. Because I want to see if I can survive as Egypt in VIP till the end in some shape or form.
Scanning through the Library I’ve noticed there are only a few Egyptian AARs and only one that’s been completed but that was back in 2004! Only one was played with Revolutions and VIP and that was a few years ago... things have changed. Originally I wanted to wait until VIP 4.0 came out but since that’s up in the air - along with the inevitable patch - I’ve decided to just go ahead and play Egypt now.
Goals? Yeah, we got em:
- Give up zero amounts of land! And if we do - because we probably will - we’ll get it back by the end of the game. Hear that OE?
- Civilize
- Recover cores
- Navy, gotta be in the top three
- I’m not sure of what political tags Egypt has but by the end of the game I must either be Communist, Socialist or Fascist... if it turns out they don’t have those tags then I’ll go ahead and be whatever I want.
- Take all provinces with accepted culture people.
Rules? We got those too:
- Cannot satellite a top 15 nation
- Not so much a rule but a mark to try and stay below 25 bad boy. Anymore than that and I usually find myself in trouble if I’m not a competent power.
Summary:
- Retain all original lands
- Recover and hold cores
- Civilize
- Have a top three navy
- Great power status
- Become either Communist, Socialist or Fascist
- Cannot satellite a top 15 nation
- Absorb all provinces that have accepted culture people
- Try to stay below 25 bad boy
- Whether I win or die, we're taking this to the end
- This is going to be a gameplay only AAR
The first update should be out in a couple of days.

I’ve been away for two months, maybe its been a little more or a little less but the workload in real life exploded so I’ve been taking advantage of every opportunity available. In addition I’ve found another site that’s really taken to my abilities so you’re not going to see Brandenburg III around as much as you used to.
Since my time here will be limited, I’m only going to be paying attention to this AAR, any updates on Victoria 2 and VIP updates. I told you that so you won’t nominate me for awards and such because I simply won’t get around to replying to them. Keeping it simple, I don't want to be involved. Perhaps I’m becoming something of an Internet introvert, if there is such a thing.
The other AARs that I had running, I’m slaying them at this moment.
