    Subscribed. And good to see you're writing an AAR again.

    Yours,
    Treverer
    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"

    Oh my god, chirurgeon, how dare you choose the worst rival of my favourite faction for your new game? Now I'm torn apart by one side of me thinking "It's Chirurgeon the Great storyteller, so be happy, and the other side thinking "omglolsist4luv4z11!!11eleventeen". Just kidding

    Hehe, I was thinking about doing a ptolemaic aar simply because we never see any, and I have a good campaign going with them....that being said, I hardly have time for my succession game.

    I am very much looking forward to more of your work though.

    Pah, stealing the body of Alexander the Great and then claiming that he chose to rest in Egypt! Treacherous, sister-loving, body-stealing incestoual freaks! Zeus shall smite them and end their unrightious existence!
    Enough ranting, I wish you good luck Chirurgeon

    @ Basileus Seleukia:
    Your insults do not hold weight with me. I have no respect for one who would murder their leader. Perhaps you should march here and claim the body for yourself. If it is truly your destiny to have Alexander returned to Babylon. Although I do recall the last time you attempted this...well I wont bring up that smarting defeat again. Alexander stays in Egypt. Besides..My sister is hot

    I also have a little Carthaginian game going. I'm only at 267 B.C. though. This AAR might persuade me to try the Ptolemies. NOW where is the update. Get to work

    Ah! I come back from a week-long school trip to England (be very jealous) and I am greeted with the beginning of a third Chirurgeon AAR! I've read your last two excellent AARs, but have never posted on them. This one is sure to be just as great. What style of writing are you going to use? Will you write a history like your Roman AAR, or will you opt for the 1st person perspective of your Qarthadastim one? Or perhaps you'll surprise us with a completely different narrative style? I can't wait for this AAR!

    BTW: What's with only 3 stars on the pic on your first post? Surely you don't believe this AAR will only be a 3-star experience? Lol!

    I will be mixing history with roleplaying. I will be using the journal format mainly because of the intimacy of the characters. It will be very similar to the Sands of Africa. I am jealous you went to England. I hope to go there one day. I went to France and Spain last summer. Truly amazing. I have family in town but I am working on Chapter I. Thanks for following the AAR. I havent had the time to write with the same feverous pitch as my last AAR, So the chapters will be slower in coming.

    Sounds pretty good, Chirurgeon. I was thinking, it must be harder to write a history on something that didn't actually happen (unlike your Roman AAR)! I don't think I'll mind the slower pace, as I, like you, have a lot of school work to do and won't have as much time to read it! Plus, there are plenty of other great AARs around, like MAA's Makedonian AAR. Well, I am looking forward to reading this...
