Yeah, first time I downloaded and installed IGC I decided to play the Iroquois, and conquered the world by 1640. After that, the entire game became a complete bore.

NOT.

You either cheat, play the system, or are a completely uninteresting person.

Making a comment like that and leaving your e-mail, you're just asking for a boat load of spam.

Personally, I've never written an AAR nor do I know if I ever will. I do however find them interesting reads and get a lot of ideas for my games for them. Even if some are fake, who cares? They certainly aren't hurting anybody in anyway.

I frankly do not believe some of these stories . . . conquering Turkey as the Knights and so forth. Send your save game files to tdbrady@yahoo.com.

He probably just made this comment to get attention. If you're gonna respond, and I can completely understand that you are (I did too :) ), do it in an intelligent and mature manner. Then you are stating your case, telling him how much of an a$$ he is, and venting your frustration all at the same time. Please he doesn't get the satisfaction of you being upset.
 
Yeah I know that was perhaps not the best responce, but putting the effort into writing an AAR and then basicall being called a liar is not exactly going to put me in a good mood...

and besides just because he is crap at the game doens't mean others can't be good :cool: :p
 
Anyway its true that there are alot of 'i dont have a life ' kids who are trying to get attention posting absurd exploits ( on every game , in every forum ) but i think that must not be a problem , Much worse is the ladder thing , there are peoples that are losing their souls to gain 1 position in ladders that NOONE CARE about them !!!
I think that ladders must be banned like drugs .

Ladder thing? WTF? Something to do with window cleaners..?
 
No Disrespect Intended

As I have said, I have written an AAR myself. Quite a long one, still in progress, full of my mistakes as well as my triumphs. Its just the 'I conquered the world as The Knights' ones that I find a waste of space. Those are the kids.
 
hey good idea chef boyard, im going to start a game and try to atleast take over all of north america or that which is colonized by europeans. maybe i can get so far as south america too, what a challenge

hey chef boyard, i hacked the files in my current game so that i can play a united German game. will you cut my aar down for that?

wish i was a kid again, boohoo!!!
 
heh, as soon as I finsih my knights game (up to 1650 atm) I will send you the file chef, what you do with it after that is entirly up to you, although if I might make a suggestion.......
 
Well I myself played the Mayans once and conquered almost the entire world. I had the Americas wrapped up by 1510 and moved to colonize Africa. That took close to five years but by the end I felt confident enough to conquer Europe.
It was actually quite easy. Spain and France put up a bit of a fight but otherwise I had no real trouble.


Lighten up everyone. These AARs are entertaining.
 
Last night I accidentally hit alt+shift+Q+8+Scroll Lock while punching the space bar with my nose (these things happen), thus activating the super special cheat mode that allows you to play the UFOs. Since they arrive 1482 that gives you 10 years to conquer the world before any other nation has its AI activated. It turns out the UFOs have a secret alliance with the Knights Hospitaller, thus explaining their edge in combat. Not.

Description of armed martian: mean green fighting machine.
 
no, seriously, remove the major tags and try let's say France on normal/normal going for total conquest from day 1...if you can't conquer the world by 1792
you're either incompetent or just plain unlucky...
the faster you conquer the major colonizers, the easier the game becomes...
One of the early MUSTS is to conquer Russia, cuz if they get to colonize Siberia you're in for a LOOOONG winter war(ruin in other words I know because I learned it the hard way :))
It's incredibly hard to conquer it after they're well established in Siberia and have upgraded their fortresses so you must do it early.(and France is admitedly not in the best position to do it early but it can be done)
 
No, Really, I did.

I believe its possible to conquer the world as the Ottomans, the French, the Austrians, even the pathetic English. I do not believe its possible to conquer the world as 'The Knights' who start with a single island province, or Navarra, etc. Anyone who is annexing majors is already hacking the game anyway (which is okay for fun, but its called cheating if you are attempting to represent this as a normal game). There are many ways of cheating. First, you can set the game to pathetically easy. Second, you can repeatedly save and hack the save game file to give yourself unlimited credits, zero inflation, all manufactories, all technologies, etcetera, and give your enemies absolutely nothing (say it again). Third, you can use in game features or cheats to give yourself unlimited intelligence.

The original idea here was to say that AARs should be played with the game played as it was meant to be played, or a disclaimer attached. These conquer the world as [insert random pithy nation] AARs are really just one vain child/person hoping that this makes them look smart or cunning. Its neither interesting nor historical.

I have yet to receive a save game file which looks believable or reasonable in which I am disproven.
 
Um, People..?

You know, if you actually look at the main AAR board, there isn't a single title on it that proclaims 'conquered the world with [insert own single-province minor here]' or any obvious variations.

Cockney's Knights AAR, if any doubters out there have actually found the time to read it recently, demonstrates how, having managed to gain a single province from the Mameluks, the Knights proceeded to get their butts royally kicked for a few years, almost losing their foothold in the region, and, having taken out 1,000d in loans suffered super-inflation when they couldn't pay them back and then having DOWed Turkey, really do get their butts kicked all over the Levant... Etc.

You know, to me this doesn't read as a 'world conquering' AAR at all. In fact, it seems to me (inexperienced as I may be) that it's actually a very honest account of the (many) pitfalls and (occasional) triumphs involved in playing a minor nation.

So what's the problem?

A little more pre-complaint research needed from one or two of us perhaps? Or do we just like making noise..?
 
It Came Out of Thin Air

I started this thread not in response to a specific AAR that I read, but in response to comments in the "World Conquest" thread. My mistake, I should have posted my comments there.

Here are some of the ridiculous claims :

=========

I have actualy managed to obliterate Spain and France, unite Italy and get all of North Africa and Germany under the Navarra banner on normal/agressive and it's nowhere near 1792...

Hi Ramo m8, in my current game as the knights (which I will get round to writing an AAR for) I am humbling Turkey, most of the middle east in uder my control. Try playing as the Knights on hard/aggressive (like me) and see how you do

Anyway, its a load.
