Why so few AARs?

[Swordmaster]

There have been a few times that there are decent numbers of AARs. Back in the v0.80 days there were a bunch of Romani AARs all at the same time. A couple were pretty good.

I think one of the biggest problems isn't that there is a lack of people that want to make AARs on this forum, but rather a lack of people who enjoy reading AARs.

True of course, but I for one, wouldn't mind if I had one reply for every post I make. Gotta do things in life for your own pleasure, or you're bound to get disappointed.

Indeed, and for me the personal motivation is that I have a (relatively) permanent record of what I did in my game. Means a long time from now I could come back and remind myself of the good times. Because otherwise I'd remember little of what happened once time has gone by.

I have one campaign that I really wish I had made an AAR of. Truly epic Roman one, conquered all of Rome VC´s, using pretty much just 2 two men to conquer maybe 3/4 of it.
One died old, alone and far behind enemy lines outside the walls of Babylon, one earned himself 3 triumphs, became Princeps in Rome and was elected Consul 6 times. His son continued his conquests and fought a lenghty war with the Seleukids, when the father died the governor of Africa sailed to Roma, gained the soldiers and some powerful mens trust, and declared himself Princeps. The son of the ex-Princes was stuck behind enemy lines, as were all other great men of the Republic, and when he got back to Roman land the new Princepes had already adopted him and made him his heir.
There was a lot more complications of course, but it was truly epic. One day I might compile everything I rememeber into a really short story. So many great things happened in that campaign. The conquests of Quintus Gallicus, the fortifications and adventures of Quintus Aurelius Cotta, the travels of Appius Julius Ceasar, the bravery of Fabius Asiaticus, the audacity of Gaius Julius Mento, the battles of the mercenary general Herrenius. Such tales.

I don´t know why I didn´t write an AAR, the throught just never occured to me. Besides, I didn´t realise how much I loved the campaign until it began to come to an end.

I thought about it, but I don't really find them terribly interesting. There's always too much fluff for my taste, and it seems a little tedious to load up all those photos and type up my campaign. I hardly have enough time to play myself anyways.
