AAR question

[Ariovistus Maximus]

Well, if you have BI you could do some more variation.

As far as my thinking takes me, to play any faction, you would kinda need to play parts of several different campaigns. Well, not really; only if you wanted to make it historical. If you wanted to play the english in M2 for instance, then you could start as the Casse, play that for a bit, then play as Rome and conquer a chunk of Britain. Then you would have to start a BI game and play as the Celts and get Britain back, then you'd have to play the Saxons and invade Britain.

Then you would have more or less a proper historical intro to it, unless you wanted it to be completely ahistorical. Then you could just start with x and go bonkers!

You could even conquer 3/4 of the map as x faction in EB, then rp that when you start M2, the FL that conquered the world in EB died, and his empire fragmented into all the M2 civs! Kinda like Alexader.

Or what you could do, is play (for instance Casse), win the Casse campaign, then play another game where you're the Gauls or Iberians or something, give the victory condition cities to Casse, and then play until you shove the Casse out of europe. Then you could move into M2 and play the rebirth of the British empire or something.

Anyways, those are just a few ideas as far as structure; I like to do stuff like that to break it up and set it apart from your ordinary AAR theme. I'm planning one as Pontus, but it will start out in Galatia... before the time of Mithridates I Ksistes...

Anyways, as to the faction...

I suppose there are M2 equivalents to many of the EB civs. Your web of x=x=x is quite good!

Casse=Britain
Gauls=French
Lusotannan=Spanish
Germans=HRE (to make that work you'd have to use BI) or Danish
Rome=Byzantium (you'd want BI for that too)
Carthage=one of the berber kingdoms (I assume they have one in M2? you could rp that Tunisia is
Carthage reborn)
Egypt=Egypt
Parthia+Armenia=Sassanids=Turks or any other Arab faction really.

Anyways, you already came up with those urself.
The other nomads, Bartix, and Saba might not really have a place to fit in.

I suppose each of them would be about the same method of developing a storyline...
Casse and Gauls would be the easiest I would think. If you wanted a real challenge you could play as Rome, win that, then switch sides in EB and destroy W. Rome, then play Byzantines in M2.

Anyways, I'm sure It'll be quite good! If you need help with anything (but I can't imagine what that would be; I don't even have M2! ) ring me up!
