I wish you luck. It sucks when that happens. I'm looking forward to your next update (hopefully this aar can continue
). Your map looks very interesting.
Good News, I have received the CPU back and it works fine.I should be able to update this weekend.
I'm glad things are good to go - I'm enjoying the AAR. Maybe I'll see if I can't get the empire under Irish rule...
I haven't forgotten the game and AAR.I have been taking a short break from CK2.(Playing EU3 Beta)but will have an update by the weekend.Played a little bit not sure how to proceed.....
I am sorry everyone that has been following this AAR.For whatever reason the game has become unplayable.Freezing a few days after starting. So I am going to have to end this AAR.
I may do one in the future.......and hopefully the Devs fix the Stamford Bridge starting situation.
