Hello and welcome to my very first AAR. A little background on me before we get started, seeing that this is my first post and all. So I've been playing EU3 for quite some time now but my "Paradox-days" really began with Supreme Ruler 2020. A friend of mine gave me the game after he got bored with it and so I tried it out. I was amazed with the complexity of it that I tracked down the creators and landed in the Paradox website. There I found Europa Universalis 3 just when Divine Wind was just released. I tried it out and I totally fell in love with the game. Now, I expanded my EU3 a bit with a few mods (Just like the one I'm using right now). Okay, enough about me. Let's jump into the game.
I will be writing this AAR in the "history-book" style, meaning there will be little to no dialogue seeing as that will be a bit tedious (I do have a little history of giving up on an AAR due to its tediousness). Also, please bear with my English as I'm not from any of the major English speaking nations like the US or UK and expect some pauses every now and then as I give way to real life. But to keep you into this AAR, I promise to post at least one update every week unless I advise you guys that I won't be able to do that due to some real life issues. I hope you enjoy IMPERIUM DEI!
HOUSE RULES
1. Infamy levels will be limited to just below whatever my BB-Limit is.
2. Conquest will remain realistic. Meaning there will be no major conquests unless something happens that is out of my control.
3. Being the Pope, wars with Catholics will be very limited unless the ruler is excommunicated.
4. No reloads unless due to crashes or glitches.
5. Lucky nations: None
6. All other settings set to normal/default.
7. VERSION: Divine Wind 5.2 beta; MOD: Death and Taxes v9.2 (may change if a new save-compatible update is released)
8. For all readers: Have fun! No flaming! Don't take anything I say here personally, I will try to be as respectful for each religion as I can but for the sake of a little Role-play, I might RP a pope who is fully against the so-called "heathens" and "heretics" :happy:
GOALS
1. Stabilize Papal Power in Italy
2. End the Great Schism by conquering Constantinople (religious center of the Orthodox Christians)
3. Conquer Jerusalem and the Holy Land
4. Conquer Mecca (religious center of the heathen Muslims)
5. Reconquer Byzantine lands
6. After 6 and once the Papal States have grown in power and wealth, reconquer the Roman Empire
7. Spread Christianity around the world, specifically the Catholic branch
8. Once the Reformation arrives, try to keep as many countries Catholic as possible
I will not limit this AAR to the goals. Due to the complexity of EU3, this will change depending on what happens in-game but basically I will lean towards achieving these goals.
Thank you for reading! And don't hesitate to ask questions or give comments or suggestions. Deus Vult!
