This is not an AAR, but a share of my game play experience...

hi all, this is not really an AAR, but a few screenshots showing my feelings about the game (NA),sorry if you are uncomfortable with those screenshots.

i played as Ming, Westernized around 1550. normal difficulty...after 1700 my tech begin to lead all the others.

This is one of the slaunterhouse, god, the AI got a few stacks of that
they must be minting like crazy!

i was in a war with them because i see so many rich province in Africa , i think i beat a Huge stack of galleys before...too bad no screenshots of those epic naval battles , i might try to make some before my game ends, probably trying to engage 150 French Big Ships

my impressive...income? maybe not impressive enough but this is very enough for me.

luckily in NA your reputation don't affect COT in your own land i got some extra income from that. the three province in Africa are obtained from a war with Malacca, yes, Malacca, that guy keep colonizing and i just feel free to seize colony, she really speed up my colonization

well, stone against eggs!, my men just 5000, and my vassal decide to have some target practice? :rofl: (rebels original sized 3000)

you might wonder why Dai Viet is that big, i first vassal it in a war, and i try to make her bigger and westernize, not sure if she westernize , but she's getting much bigger.

Suicidal Badboy Wars...(they just started it! ), hope they will be smarter next time.(or next patch)

that's all of today...

Hey - this is an AAR just like any other. Gameplay works just as well. Wish there was a bit more explanation as to how you got where you are now, but we do love screenies!

i will add more comments, thanks for reading !

now this is a little update about war against persia, you see that about 60 of their galleys are annihilated by my fleet in out there in Malacca. and most of their men died in battles. Still, they refuse to give up 5 provinces.(i was trying to link to mainland Europe)

i was just thinking that three of my fleets are still make up of Cogs...to fight pirates, well.

they declare war, in june 7, hmm...i have 3 wars going on already...i discovered that their galley fleet has expanded 200% after the last war, but that doesn't help, forturnately.

poor bastards! they looked like have to gain a few percent of inflation again..

unforturnately, the Persians refuse a peace, the war drag on for a few more years...i don't got spies or i could try turbo annex, i don't really care about my badboy ...

Hell, the Malmuks decide to back stab me, too bad my men are just near their borders , those persian and malmuk bastards got level 2 fort almost everywhere, tough time...

bonus:
this is my humble start, i am not a warmonger before!

my army is pretty terrible :/ , i live with diplo-annex that time.
