Sons of the North - A Finnish AAR

[Niko92]

This is my first aar and it's going to be special. I made myself as the count of Tavasts and my aim is to unite all of Finland.

The game will be on:
CK: DV with the latest patch
Very easy/furious.

Character's name is Niko Holkko
Attributes:
Martial = 6
Diplomacy = 9
Intrigue = 11
Stewardship = 2
Health = 10
Fertility = 10

These are completely random ( I actually threw a dice ) except for fertility.

Traits:
Just, lazy, modest, proud, valorous, vengeful and wise.

Characters DNA code is 20308511419939. And because I just created the character, I have no idea what he (or should I say "I") looks like.

I will not use any cheats, unless it's essential for my nations survival ( in other words: getting totally pwned and making peace with byzantine cheat).

Also, I will answer to all events completely random just make the game a little bit more exciting.

Actual gameplay update will come later.

 

[Cecasander]

Good luck with that. That corner of the map is interesting because there's a lot of pagans around to conquer

However, I believe modest and proud are opposite traits, which means the game will eventually ask you to choose between them or make you stressed.

 

[Niko92]

And now, the starting situation.
First, let's see how I look.

Well...umm...It could be worse.:wacko:

My mighty realm

I'm the count of Nyland and Tavasts.

Then the current laws, techs and the court

Semisalic Gavelkind was changed to Semisalic Primogeniture and that spy master is my new Danish wife Gro Svendsdottir Knytling.

The Kingdom always needs money (but for some reason I only got 17 gold. Those evil Danes tricked me)

And Jämtländ offers an alliance

And we accept. Of course I'm not going to help them at any point, but they might still be useful.

And that's all for today. A bigger update will come tomorrow.

 

[Vaftrudner]

What do you expect for a Knytling? They do manage to pop up everywhere, though.

 

[Niko92]

Time for another update

The new advances

It sucks that those advances don't come anymore as events.

My dynasty is quick at reproducing

Unfortunately my wife died. Maybe she couldn't keep up the pace

But no need to worry

A new young wife straight from the Byzantine empire

Finally I get a bishop

An English version of his name: Hundredleg Jake

And then this happens

Well, a man has his needs...

And this is how I raise my children

The one on the right is the bastard

It's time for the first war

Ended pretty quickly though

But then, something terrible happens

Well, it's not that terrible when you think about it

And for all the glorious events of the first war

I became a cripple, how delightful

The battles of the second war

I lost each one of them, and still they offered white peace. The ways of the pagan gods are mysterious

The battle events of the second war

My bishop is on a goddamn rampage

All the my children with my second wife...

...so far

A tough question for any parent

Luckily, I'm an expert when it comes to children

 

[Saithis]

Gro died?!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

 

[Enewald]

Gro died?!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Yeah!!!

Never raise your children without the help of monks. Otherwise they become heretics.

 

[Saithis]

Yeah!!!

Never raise your children without the help of monks. Otherwise they become heretics.

...shh. Don't say such things, you risk spoiling the story!

 

[Niko92]

I don't think I'll be able to continue this AAR as the save game keeps crashing after a few months of gameplay.

 

[unmerged(74032)]

Then start itr all over again because it seems to be a lot of fun.
And on a sidenote what do you expect from bishp? At least he was fighting the heathens and it that case it's the more the merrier.

One wonders what your new wife did to deserve exile from the Empire to Finland
