[MMU] Pick my next AAR

[Parcae]

My Oirats AAR is beginning to wind to a close (200 years left, but they were rather less eventful than the first 170), so I thought I'd take suggestions for the next one I do. I won't be doing this on a voting basis, although I'm more likely to accept a suggestion if it seems popular; rather, I'll take the suggestion that seems most interesting.

Feel free to suggest either a difficult nation, or an easier nation with difficult goals.

 

[Rabid]

Suggestion: Morocco, Tripoli or Algiers

Goal: Colonize as much as possible, you're positioned to dominate the spice island and Africa even if the Iberians get America. The Berber events are fun to play with from the other side!

 

[Boris ze Spider]

Ive been fond of a Morocco one as well.

 

[chals]

ethopia! show how hard yoy are at the game

retake to holy cityes will be hard thou, very hard... as you start with a shitlod of gold and nothing else mostly

 

[hermi]

Persia!

Show those sunni heretics who are the true ascendents of the prophet!

 

[Macknull]

Not very familiar with the initial MMU map, but I suggest Byzatium
Goal: restore the ancient hellenistic empire

Quite impossible, even surviving as Byzantium is hard in MM, and taking on Persia and Ottomans and Mamlukes? You got the idea.

I say, write an AAR with Castille, and try to do as well as / better than they did historically: biggest country in the world, all pagans in Americas destroyed, Imperial crown on your head, nearly whole Italy (or just all of it) in your hand while ruling the seas and having stability above 0, as opposed to -3 they constantly have when commanded by AI.

As I said, I'm not very familiar with the initial position, or the MMU as whole. But we're not talking about the initial 100 years or so. I'm pretty sure slow expansion would be possible, especially after what I saw in the Unplayable AAR

I've actually tried to recreate Alexander's Empire once before. I came pretty close: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...M2-Empires&p=11790189&viewfull=1#post11790189

 

[Macknull]

Ha! Yea, pretty close indeed I knew you could make it...
Sooo... You played Alexander style, Mongols (too bad not like Genghis Khan )... Perhaps Imperium Romanum [Papal States]? Or English Empire?

Some minor Timurid successor state- unite India, Asia and the Middle East under one true banner!

 

[Scorpi]

Yeah become a mughal / timurid empire

 

[Rabid]

Yeah become a mughal / timurid empire

I was going to suggest this too but I thought it might be a bit too similar to his Qing game he just finished!

Regardless I always like seeing Mughals/Timurids/Hindustan games. Bihar => Hindustan is especially fun, you end up with accepted cultures across most of the Indian subcontinent and starting ideas are mostly focused towards the economy rather than military which is a rarity in that part of the world.

A handful of ideas:
- unite Japan with a weak opm, not such a big challenge for you, but I don't recall a Sengoku MMU aar
- spread religious unity of the true faith with either Ibadi Oman -> Arabia -> and beyond or revigorate Hussite movement in Bohemia (doable in 1453 start?) and let the whole HRE drink from the chalice
- try to 'play a Habsburg' with a HRE opm, advantageous marriages and espionage, dow only to further your dynastic claims
- take England with Cleves, avenge Anne of Cleve's honour

 

[OutsiderSubtype]

I haven't seen a good Hussite AAR in a while. Do a Hussite Bohemia and go ape in the HRE. I think you'll want to start from 1399.

I support super castile Idea

 

[Ivir Baggins]

I support the idea of playing a German minor and aiming to form Germany. It's goona be difficult as MMP2, but you did say

with difficult goals.

 

[Serek000]

It'd be interesting to see Malacca, with an eye towards colonizing East Africa.

 

[Jolt]

Start as Nejd, reconquer the whole muslim world, from Indonesia to Wien to Spain.

 

[Timmie0307]

The minor German nation gets my support as well
