Hi, everyone! I'm blklizard and I'll admit I'm pretty nervous right now. I have never played CK2 before so this will be my first game. I know jumping into the deep end isn't always the best method but I'm going to attempt just that for this AAR. With this being my first game, my main focus is pure survival and try to grasp the basics the best I can. The goal is of course reaching the late game with something to show but I'm not going to get ahead of myself.
I have not included any DLCs because I believe even the vanilla game will have plenty of things for me to experience. I will be learning as I go and, despite seeing some tutorials and guides, I feel like I only touched the tip of the iceberg. Due to my inexperience, I will most often not choose the ideal path which should make this AAR rather interesting. Feel free to give advice and comment on what I could work on so I can improve (though I cannot promise I can make use of the advice depending on how much of the game I played). I will try to roleplay but, let's be honest here, I'll do anything that I think will improve my chances of surviving till late game.
I prefer narrative style where I will write stories associated with the screenshots I'll be taking. My updates might be quite irregular due to my real life schedule changing a lot lately but I'm aiming for at least an update a week. I won't cheat through saving and reloading as I intend to see this game to the end (victory or defeat). I will be starting in Ireland on Very Easy but I haven't determined who yet. I hope to get my prologue out in a day or two once I decide on which poor fellow I'll be playing as.
