Hi everyone,
So I'm starting my first AAR, trying a fun game in homemade Ironman, as king Ælla of Northumberland with a ToG campaign. As a disclaimer, I have to say that English is not my mother tongue, but I'll be trying my best nonetheless. Every comments are welcomed, especially the ones about writing.
Current version : Vanilla 1.1.1
For the game, I took king Ælla on 867 running with every DLC, in vanilla.
The house rules of the game are:
1) Playing on normal difficulty (it is already a hard start…)
2) No reload (beware that the story could come to an ugly end quickly)
2) Playing as RP as possible, given the traits of the character.
3) No game breaker.
The goals are (in order of importance):
1) Survive!
2) reunite any part of the kingdom of Northumberland that could be lost
3) Drive the heathen out of the British isles
4) Become king of England by uniting the heptarchy into one great kingdom.
For the AAR itself, I'll try to change my style to describe and let feel the personality of every characters in the game. I am clearly not a specialist of history so I will sometime have a point of view that may be inaccurate historically speaking. If you think I made a mistake, don't hesitate to point it out, it is always nice to learn something. One last thing... I'm not a specialist of paint and I will learn during this AAR to manage the paradox forum about joint image. The first one may be very simple but as we say, you learn by doing it, so I will try there and then some new things. Oh, and one last thing. I will try at the beginning to update it every week at least, but maybe more, given the time I have.
I really hope you’ll enjoy it!
