Mittleheim front

Battle lines are drawn up for what will hopefully be the final push on the Viking capital. Troops from their minor powers on the Northern islands are starting to arrive and I’d like to end this offensive before any more can land. The veterans will ...

Mittleheim front


A Mittleheim counterattack results in the loss of elite units on both sides. This shouldn’t slow the advance on Trondheim though. The Angford advantage in numbers and quality is solid.

Northern Front


Mittleheim’s minors are beginning to join the war and the small nation of Ironlord will soon be conquered. I could maybe have done a little more damage here but realistically there’s no way to keep the dwarves here alive.

Mittleheim Front


The offensive begins with the destruction of the veteran unit that was holding Courland. My units are just stronger on this front, better tech, better leaders and more elites so I’ll be looking to take some very favourable trades and push the Vikings ...

Andania / Angford Front

Rebellion breaks out in the Andanian province of Mutiner. Beriand is clearly well prepared for it with several elites, veterans and cavalry on the border. Even so, I’m hopeful that they can do some serious damage or even destroy some units ...

Frostshow (February) 15th, 2401

The new year begins slowly. I’m still waiting on Thangren to join the war before beginning the assault on Guartenheim and Angnord/Angford are repositioning troops after Draca’s defeat.

The end of the road is imminent for the Silk Sultanate although they held out ...

Princess Krystalis shivered in a mixture of apprehension and anticipation. She had spent her whole life proving herself to be one of the most capable administrators Angford had ever produced, revolutionising the ...

Watersbend Front

Finally, the Allied troops have battled adjacent to Draca. We can see he’s still fairly healthy at 8 strength but I have a lot of units ready to strike the killing blow. Even a low strength and morale, the elves are ...

Watersbend Front
Prince Amund rode triumphantly through the streets of Watersbend although his elation was tempered by the destruction left behind by the Dreadhorde that had occupied the city. Six months of hard fighting, but the end was finally in sight Now it was his ...

The battle of Watersbend begins. Local militias begin to surround the castle whilst Prince Amund’s veterans begin the attack suffering casualties but breaching the walls in several places. This allows the giants ...

Hamon, First Counsel of the Elves stared inscrutably at the emissary from Angnord, emotion impossible to detect on his face that was at the same time both youthful and ancient. After what seemed to be an age of silent contemplation ...

Thanks Beriand, you're more than welcome to pop in and make contributions and read any narrative parts of the AAR. I'll be a couple of months behind the in-game action anyway.

Playing a fantasy scenario like this has stirred my desire to do a bit of creative writing, as well as introduce people to this excellent mod. I’ll do a narrative introduction to the major factions of the Allied side based on the documentation and stuff I’ve made up off that along with some ...

I think tribals could stay at 20%, they already take an age to get involved anywhere and have to deal with logistics/transport/invasion costs on top of slow mobilisation of minors. Mul'Kan and Potentia could use the drop to 15%, it would still be worth it to tech for them as their income gets a bit ...
