Wolves of Zalmoxis (Getai AAR)

[Laevex]

Welcome to my very first AAR. I hope you will enjoy it.

INFORMATION:
The mod used is Europa Barbarorum 0.81a played with BI.exe.
It was played on Medium/Medium difficulty (I play games to relax and enjoy myself, not to cause stress. However, I am working my way up the difficulties methodically so one day I might be able to handle a very hard campaign).
It was played with fog of war off. I know it's realistic to have it but it just annoys me not being able to see what other factions are doing. I think that it adds another point of interest for readers as well to see how the AI is expanding.
I will post chunks of AAR up at a time, not all at once but not every turn.

RULES:
1. No refighting battles.
2. No more than 50% mercenaries in an army.
3. Act roughly in line with characters' personalities.
4. Fairly slow expansion.
5. Justify all attacks.

The narrator of this story is Dudyx per Histria, son of Tarsa. He is an esteemed strategist, historian and friend of the Basileus. This is his story - a history of Getic courage commisioned by the Basileus himself to make the greatness of the Getai known to all.
