Hungary Aar
I just had the most frustrating game i think since i had EU. Some of the frustration was good but some of it i think is because of the incomplete beta version.
1419, Hungary is a meager power in the region, it has potential but then so do other countries in the region.
So i emediately DOW Croatia because im hoping that Transvania will DOW me as they are guarenteeing Croatias independance. Well they never did which turned out to be good for me. As it turned out, Croatia, Venice and Serbia would be enough for me to handle. At first i called on my allies to help me in the war. I wanted most of all the sea ports of istria and dalmatia that venice had, poland and lithuania could have croatia and serbia i didnt care.
Well Poland and Lithuania (two seperate countries) crushed the serb and croat armies and took the forts in a year. Then the Tuetonic order attacked poland so all my allies troops went north.
At this time in 1421 when my allies left, i was sieging Veneto, istria and dalmatia of Venice. However those sieges were going slow. I had time to build up another army.
1423 Serbia reared its ugly head and came out in force with 24000 troops to free croatia of polish control. A revolt in odenburg slowed my army some also.
My hungarian elite armies (yeah right
) went toe to toe with the serb armies repeatedly, first hungary advanced into banat but was then driven back out. My army then began sieging Croatia while rebel armies took odenburg and then began sieging pest. The serbs also began sieging my land of banat. Still the sieges in Venice went on and on.
1424
This was a glorious year at first, i annexed Croatia finally and now it was just the Serbs who were a threat because Venice wasnt doing anything. My army even beat back the rebels finally and then retook the states of pest and odenburg from rebel control.
Serbia used my bad position to begin sieging Croatia again though, driving my armies back with each attack. Dang serb army is fricken tough and a major annoyance.
1425
My army would attack the serbs in croatia, i had twice their number often and i would still get beaten back. Then the serbs would attack my army in pest and I would win those battles. It was a seesaw war at this point, much blood being spilled. I couldnt build my army fast enough. Raise 4000 troops, 4000 lost, i kill 7000 serbs, they send 7000 new guys right away, grrrr it was unending frustration, but i still had the upper hand.
1426
I make a breakthrough, i retook banat from the serbs and defeated their main army in serbia. Now the serbs were hurting as my 25000 men marched through their capital city and they only had 6000 recruits marching to meet me. Ahhh i will celebrate victory soon. OR WOULD I
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, those 6000 bloody serbs not only beat me out of kosovo, they beat my army out of serbia then chased me to banat and beat me there also. All the while they raised more fricken men Gosh Dang it, and i was reeling with shocking defeats. I was sooooo close to total victory, now this.
Before 1426 is over, i would lose banat to serb control and they had an army of 20,000 now that i just could not beat. I must have lost a dozen battles in one year against them and i made sure my army was 100% supported and was strong before attacking. Ugh war sucks!
1427
Serbia had a goal in mind, I refused to accept their rediculous demands that i give up Banat and Croatia and money to them for peace. So they kept beating me up. Before i knew it they were driving my battered army out of Pest and seiged it, I managed to barely retake Croatia under their nose but they sieged that now too.
before the end of the year, i lost croatia and pest and repulsed yet another attack by my army. Things were beginning to look grim for Hungary.
I decided to stop waging conventianal war and go for a new strategy. Instead of go against an invincible army it seems. I will just march around them and take out their supply line in serbia. So i marched my 30,000 man army down to banat, serbia and kosovo and began sieging them. The serbs apparently didnt care as they sieged my other territory in krain moving their way north to presburg.
In Venice just incase you thought i forgot, it has been 8 years now and my troops are still sieging Veneto, istria and dalmatia, i think that is a bug?
Well the frustration turned into tears when just as my new tactic began to work against serbia and i almost had their homeland taken, THE GAME CRASHED TO DESKTOP AND I SCREAMED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Honestly this was one of the best games of EU i have ever played, It was an interesting challenge to say the least and I cant wait for the completed version after they add all the new features. My god this game rocks.
Hope you liked my EU2 AAR. Hungary rules
