[RTW EB + MTW XL] Lusitanian - From 271 BC to 1453 AD

**Molinaargh** · 02-19-2009, 00:18

This is a humorous but organized AAR mostly based on dialogue. It will be played in both RTW EB and MTW XL on the difficulties VH/VH and Expert. The only cheats I'll be using are visibility ones for both games (toggle_fow and .matteosartori.). I hope you enjoy it!

Introduction (MTW)

What are we going to do!? The Moors control the South! To the East there's Leon and Castile!

Yes.

Soon enough Portugal will be no more! We are midgets compared to our neighbours!

You are, my King.

You?

"We"! I said "We"!

I have searched my father's library looking for answers.

Sadly I only found unholy books of depravity and carnal desires. The cover of this one seemed quite inviting. Read it to me, Peres!

In a minute, sir.

In a minute the Moors will be invading Lisbon! Read it now, Peres Correia!

Songs of Lusitania - Part 1 (RTW)

Alright, alright, I'm reading it.

This is your past and your mirror.

In 271 BC the Chieftain of the Lusotannan, Tantalos Lusotanakum, called upon the warriors of the tribes to expel the invaders from his land...

We will conquer all until the horizon! And when we get there, we will see a new horizon and then conquer all until that one!

Yes! And all of the island will sing songs about us!

...

What?

The ISLAND?

Yes! The Island of Iberia!

At least you can swing a sword, my son.

The Chieftain's first target was Gader, to the south. His son was to conquer Mastia, another Phoenician colony to the East.

Gader was conquered, but its air did not satisfy the Chieftain's lungs. He died of an illness soon after. His son, sieging Mastia, became Chieftain.

Gader has fallen and your city is next! Surrender!

That's impossible! The warrior Aqhat was defending Gader, you couldn't have defeated him!

They didn't!

Aqhat! What are you doing here?

I switched sides before they could defeat me!

I can totally relate with this guy.

That's written in there?

No, I... I was just making a comment.

Keep reading, Peres!

After the conquest of Mastia, Latronos sent his men to conquer Arsé.

The voice of those singing our deeds will echo through a thousand years!

Did you hear something?

No, my King.

At this point, Chieftain Latronos was in great debt.

Hah! I can totally relate with this guy!

Will you let me read it?

Chieftain Latronos then disbanded all the army except for a small garrison force. The next years were of hard work to pay the debts of his father's military campaign. But the campaign had been successful and soon the Lusotannan warriors would march again.
