    Default Another You Pick Thread....

    Due to the fact that my last Qarthadastim campaign won't stop CTD'ing (which is wierd, because I haven't run into any other consistent CTD's with any other faction, so I don't know what's wrong) and I enjoy writing, I've decided to do a new aar. I've thought of some factions which I might like to try an aar on.

    Given the recent trend to please the masses, I figured I would follow suit, although my options will be a little different than others.

    My choices are Epeiros, Baktria or Ptolemaioi. What would you most enjoy reading?

    I always liked the Ptolemaioi but never got around to playing as them. I'd like to see you take on the mantle of Pharoah and conquer those AS bastards. ;D Plus it would help me get in the mood to play them myself. har har

    I'll even it out and say Baktria...They've always seemed to me the most exotic of the successor factions; always wanted to play a campaign with them. Perhaps your writing would inspire me to do so....

    Baktria. Everybody likes them. Although I'd love to an AAR which ultimately ends in defeat.

    I did a Bactria AAR that you would have been very happ with, then. It only lasted about 20 years. It's still probably over in the XGM forum on TWC. I wouldn't mind giving them a whirl on EB though.

    Just read it through. Here's the link for those who are interested: Rebellion in the East: A Bactrian AAR. I really enjoyed the little prick who brags that his AAR is longer, faster and bigger than yours.

    What I'd really love from your next AAR is Baktria run over by Saka around 130 BCE.

    I had to go with Baktria. Maybe it's because I don't know much about them or that I would just like to see them in action.

    Or it could be that I, for some odd reason, have never like the Ptolemies. Epieros could be fun but I would rather see Baktria.

    Yeah, I remember that dude....he never finished the longer, faster, bigger aar btw....at least mine was finished (a loss, but finished nonetheless), although I should have used Photobucket for the pics, cuz then they would still be there.

    Right now Baktria is winning by one. I'm going to wait a few more days though. I think Xenh II is doing a Ptolemaioi aar, so maybe starting a second one at the same time would be too much Ptolemaioi. I'm leaning towards Baktria at this point. If Ptolemaioi wins by a huge margin, maybe I'll just make sure mine is a different writing style.

    Don't worry, the pics did show up for me. They may be a bit slow, but they're there.

    I voted Bactria because I like thme as a fction. I couldn't decide whether to do an aar for Bactria or Epeiros. I guess I'll start my probably on tuesdsay. I liked your last carthage aar, i think thats the style I'm going to use. I'm keeping on an on this. :)

    I predict a forecast of arrows coming down from the north in a storm raining nomads and horses

    good luck man! The Saka might be a pain later on, but remember, nomads got it tough too

    Well, actually, I have to deal with a big "Saka" stack right in my territory in the beginning of the game. They're just not Saka, they're Eleuthoroi, but they have a bunch of Saka Lancers and crap like that.

    Actually, the first time I played EB, I chose Baktria because I like them in XGM, and I liked there banner and colors, too. I approached that battle as the "usual" rebel stack, and got my ass handed to me like 3 times in a row by that starting Eleuthoroi army. Heh, should be interesting to see how I deal with that. I hope my AAR isn't one chapter long. :)

    EDIT: After playing EB a lot more, I now know that they're is no such thing as a "usual" rebel stack in this game. Eleuthoroi are often just as deadly as any factions troops, and, for that, I thank the mod's creators.
