Hello everyone, I have been playing many campaign as the KH and Maks for about a year now and have decided to make a Makedonian AAR. I know there are many AARs for this specific faction, though my love for Successor factions has finaly made me decide to chose the Makedonai.
In my AAR, which I have started writing a long time ago but stopped due to the long time it took to write, I have been focusing a lot on the first years (277BC and onwards) which are, IMHO, the most important ones. Those are the ones that will ultimately make my empire to be in the future. Now I have started writing again, as my passion for the spear devils has not yet died out

I am not playing historically in any way, though my armies are usually composed of light troops in the beggining and will be replaced with heavier and more reliable factional troops in the future. No reformed Pezhetairoi will be used as well without conflicts with factions using flexible formations (Romani). There will be more focus on slow ad precise expansion, instead of blitzing my enemies. This means I will reform my military as I gain more funds, as well as change in the course of time as new enemies will be met.
Also, I do not just keep record of my factions achievements, rather than narrating the Makedonian kingdom's rise to again become a powerful empire. This means I will use custom battle pictures as well to fill the gaps that cannot easily be filled just by playing my campaign. There will certainly be some interesting twists in the course of time, like unexpected events.
Many ancient Greek words will be used (Makedonai, Hellenes, phalangitai, Aigaion etc) to give a better ''feel'' and Greek atmosphere. Of course there will always be a translation on the bottom of each pagefor those who have problems with that, as some words are unknown to EB's ancient Greek words in game.
I want to know what you think about my idea, if you would like to see something like that or want to add anything or even make suggestions. Everything is welcome from my side. Another thing I would like to say is that my AAR will probably take quite a lot of time to finish, as I am planning of waiting for other Makedonian AAR's to end or slowly ''die''. Having to chose between 3-4 AARs for the same faction is in my oppinion not the best thing. It might take untill the release of EB 1.1, but when I will have gathered enough chapters I will begin posting them slowly. If you want any additional information about my AAR, pleasedon't hesitate to ask me.
AAR and Makedonian lovers, I am eagerly waiting for your replies!![]()
