The AAR is smashing, I've read it over and over again 
Ok, so here we go:
1. We see on the first AAR screenshot that two shields have different forms in neighboring territories: The king of Zagreb (round shield in Zagreb) has a pointed shield in Us..a, and the duke of Temes (round shield in Fe..r and Szekelyföld - also on second screenie) has a pointed shield in Temes. Does that mean that they rule the round shield provinces as independet rulers while they are somebody's vassels for the pointed shield ones?
2. "He could use his cousin and Duke, Géza to conq… convert the Pechenegs, but it would mean that those pagans would become the land of Géza. It did not seem like a good idea." - So that means that other powerful family members are a danger to you and can separate from or even take over your dynasty?
3. Looking at the province names of what today is the Czech Republic, I'm not sure if giving Czech names to all of them is historically correct. I know that Cheb (Eger) and Usti nad Labem (Aussig) had a German population majority before 1938. However, I do not know what the situation was like in 1066. It is also surprising to see that the Hungarian province Pressburg has a German (and not a Slovak or Hungarian) name.
*dreams of an option to change the province names on the map*
4. "After more then a year of campaigning, Severin fell to the Hungarians, and the leader of the siege, István Árpád, installed himself as Count of Severin, and –of course- loyal vassal of Salamon. He was immediately ordered to go and help the other sieges." - So it's up to the leader of the siege to decide what will happen to a conquered province (keep it for oneself, give it to the king, ...)?
5. "Despite getting older, Salamon did not cease to try and extend his power. In 1086, the King of Croatia was a 17 years old boy. He had a 27 years old relative in his court, Slavich Trpirimovitch, who had a legitimate claim on the throne. He seemed like a perfect husband for Salamon's daughter, Ildikó, who recently turned. 16. The Croatian King, Dragshan, accepted the marriage, and the young couple were living in the Hungarian court. Now it was just a matter of finding a powerful enough title for Slavich. Sadly, Salamon had no available Duchy titles near to Croatia. So he had to wait." - So you have a noble who has a claim to the Croation throne and still you marry your daughter to the incumbent king of Croatia ... I don't see the cleverness behind that?
6. "the terrible disease of Small Pox appeared in some territoires, and it spread to northern Hungary", "Dysentery appeared in Esztergom, and was spreading." - Cool Now I can imagine the plague to be a real pain in the ass *g*. Is there anything you can do to stop epidemies?
7. Reading through the AAR, several council offices are mentioned: Marshal (responsible for rasing/training the military?), Chancellor (diplo stuff?), Diocese Bishop (religion conversion?) and Spy Master (assassinations?). Who else is in there?
