    Default [Multi-AAR] - History of men - EB part

    Hello. I decided to put the EB part of my Multi AAR (I'll explain in a second) here, since this forum is quite vivid and the meadhall simply isn't.
    So what is this about?

    Taken from my first post

    What is this AAR about?
    This AAR can be considered as a mammoth project I have been thinking about for a while. History of man will replay an entire string of history, from the Persian Empire till the American domination of the 20th century. Yeah that’s right, I want to pull off a series of AARs that connect to each other, an entire alternative history.
    Since I know this is a big AAR and everyone will most likley have doubts ("yeah he’ll start it and never finish it."), I’ll post first things first. I am fully aware how much work this will be, that’s why I will take a slow approche. A very slow aproche. Secondly, I have allready played a test run from 300BC till 1500 AD, and playing that alone alread took me half a year. But I am willing to take my time.

    What are the methods?
    Since this is my first AAR I’ll have to try a few things out as we go. But this AAR will be written as pseudo realistic primary sources. Certain people will write about something in history. Sometimes they are writing to back up a king, sometimes an aristrocate will write negative comments about a ruler. Sometimes a historical source will be critical with the situation itself. Sometimes it will have lies and plot-holes in it. Some writers might be more interessted in facts, some in myths, and well often enough a writer will be more curious about who the king/emperor/president is having an afaire.
    But there will be also historians posting scientific or populistic work about it. You will meet all those persons as we go.
    What I want with this method is to create a multi-structual history. I don’t want to simply entertain with jokes or simple dialogs, I want my reader to think and re-live my history with me.

    Do I have to read all the previous posts to enjoy this part of the AAR?
    Not necessarily. This AAR should be understandable without the previous updates for the most part. But it can't hurt to read either if you like, since some less essential parts will be less clear, like for example why there were five Samnite wars. If you wan't to read all the stuff go here: History of Men
