1724-1771

As usual we builded up our forces again and in September 1752 we declared war on Mysore. Mysore was the only Indian nation left, except for colonies. It had absorbed its neighbor. We feared intervinion from many other nations but the only one who declared war on us was Georgia. We payed them 250.000 gold and they remained calm. In 1754, after an easy war, we annexed Mysore.

As we only had used forces deployed in India for the war against Mysore we still had strong forces in the west. In January 1755 we declared war against Turkey. Soon after our war decleration against the turks, we recieved some. We where now in war with nations like Oman, Aden, Hedjaz, Alger, Sweden, Netherlands, Saxony, England, Poland, France, Portugal, well all Europe and western Asia it seemed. We could pay most of them off. Poland on the other hand we had to grant the province of Mozyr along with a sum of gold. In February 1757 we captured Constantinople. Our forces and resources was however depleted and we signed a peace. We got the provinces of Delta, Egypt and Judea.

A problem we encountered in the wars against the turks, was that they owned islands and we didnt have any navy in the Mediteranian. A second thing was that the turkish province of Banat, was positioned as an isolated part of the Ottoman empire, between Walachia, Serbia and Austria.

The first problem we solved by start building a navy. In 1766 we once again thought we was ready for another war against Turkey. As we dispatched our war decleration, our navy was ready to land forces on the turkish islands. Just as in the war before we recieved war declerations from all directions. We tried to pay them off, sometimes we where succesfull and sometimes they refused. Luckily for us they always accepted our payments/peace offerings a couple of months later. In 1768 we had captured most of the Ottoman empire, but not Banat. We decided to declare war on Wallachia, a small state that would be easy to conquer, so that we cold go to Banat. Wallachia was however a hard case to crack. We tried over and over to push them out of the province just to be pushed back our self. It took us two years before we where able to defeat them. After that, conquer Banat, was easy. In April 1771 we annexed the Ottoman empire. Alexandria did however go to Austria, that had fought the turks to. Our empire was indead a great one. Nor the russians, the persians, the indians or the turks had been able to stop us.

Nice playing.
It was interesting to read about your game and i think it was very good played.
It is always funny and interesting when people play with minore countries and show that even the minores can conquere the world.

And thank you! I do believe though, that you could write like that if you wanted to. Like so many other things--sports, for example, if you work at it, you can become proficient/competent though maybe not a Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan... I think I'm definitely in the "working at becoming proficient" category! :D

There are a tremendous number of very well-written AARs here and in the EU2 forum. I have printed out almost a dozen of them, hole-punched them and put them into binders for my permanent collection. I like to think that this way, some of those folks can consider themselves "published". ;)

1771-1792

After we annexed Turkey some nations, like Grecce and Austria declared war on us. We handled it like we used to, payed them off. Our main problem now was all thoose rebellrisings that occured in our newly conquered provinces. They where anyoing but where no real treath to our ruling.


The game ended in 1792. We controled 116 provinces, 2 colonies and 6 trading posts. Our landmilitary tech was maximum, sea tech lvl 25, trading lvl 6 and infrastructure at lvl 7. We had an monthly income of 400, 5 COTs, 660.000 men in arms and 45 vessels. Our VP was 2944, thus ending second. Spain beat us with 4169, Austria was third with 2603.

I managed to reach my goal (ending among the third best ranking nations) and I also had a lot of fun playing this game and writing this AAR. I have played as the Golden horde before, but this is my most succesfull game with them ever. When I have played before I always take out Russia first and then concentrate on crushing Poland. I have never succed in crushing Poland, instead I lose land to them in the end. My succes this time could be a result of me turning south (Persia) instead of west (Poland), thus not provoke the europeans to much in the beginning, at least I believe so.

Hope you folks have had a great time reading this.

Congratulations on reaching your goals and finishing the game without any of the problems that have plagued some of the other AAR writers!

I would tend to agree strongly that turning towards Persia instead of Poland made a huge difference in your success. I think (and have said elsewhere) that to get really big successfully in this game, the easiest route involves capturing big chunks of the Americas, Africa/mideast, and/or India. Unless you are very lucky and very skilled, trying to grow in Europe without significant holdings elsewhere will eventually result in getting beaten up badly by the rest of Europe. You need the money and manpower...

So what's your next AAR? Austria?

He, he nothing is being missed by you Morlac! Actually I have started play a game as Austria and also taken some notes for a possibel future AAR. I also have a game as Oman going on, but none of them realy inspires me to write a more "in-deph, roleplaying" AAR. Right now I have spend an hour searching the webb for info on the history of Brandenburg. Maybe it will led somewhere. :D
