This week we turn the spotlight on a crossover writer who been writing in the Spanish forum, mfigueras. He has recently begun a tale translated into our forum highlighting the Mongolian Scenario that turns back the clock to the 12th Century. His inaugural AAR is a tale that highlights several nations and reveals some of what is in the mod. It is well written, interesting and amazing that it is a translated tale.

mfigueras, step up to the podium and tells us about yourself...

:eek: Phew!! I never imagined I could be a "writer of the week", as translations are never as good as originals. The thing that bothers me while I translate is my lack of an "english language background" strong enough to give the AAR a true medieval feeling. You know: those words, those expressions, that way of writing that gives a tale an unmistakable medieval flavour. I've tried to give them in the original spanish one, but I feel lost when it comes to english.

Well, enough complaints :D I created this AAR just as an interesting and somewhat "spectacular" showroom for the Mongolian Empire Scenario, thus the great amount of screenshots with events. I must say that while we were making the scenario we had doubts about its success, but we enjoyed (and we still enjoy) all the process of researching and building all the stuff together. Obviously seeing its success motivate us to go on in improving the mod and releasing new versions. If you want to help us, don't hesitate in posting in our thread here at Paradox or at the Languish Fora ;)

I'm also writing a second AAR (also in spanish), Istoria Basileon Romaion, now much more a true AAR, not just a showroom. I'd like to translate it, as well, but as it is written in a more literary style, it would be painfully difficult for me... but maybe I'll give it a try when I finish.


EDIT: Oh, BTW, I realized that I said nothing about me :p well... I'm 31 (and already very bald :D ) and I'm physicist, but I'm somewhat of a "hardcore" fan of History, specially Ancient and Medieval... not very surprising that I get involved in the Mongolian Scenario, thus.

Ah, congratulations! And I think that Gesta Communist Tolosae (or whatever the name is :D ) captures the medieval feel perfectly (besides, it's supposed to be a translation (from Latin) anyway, so any problems caused by that make sense. :) )

Too bad I can't spare the time to help with the MES anymore...

Physicist is the guy who studies physics, right? Hey, I studied one year of Physics on the university before switching to Mathematics. You are a very lucky man, and with courage... like a friend of mine once said, to love both Physics (in my case, Mathematics) and History you really need to be a crazy and mad man! :rofl:

I've been reading some of your work, and it's very nice, a very good showroom of the mod. Congratulations on it! Keep it up!

Well, Anibal he is totally right. It's like me- history, mathematics, and chemistry. Riiiiight... Not the best, is it? :D;)

[Sorry for hijacking here, and if Jack IS here, I did not mean to offend you!]

Either way, Great AAR, I loved it! Congrats and good luck in the future!
