Brilliant ending!!!

Now all the romans finally are (semi)-united, though I think the idea of a personal union is a good solution to the Italian question! With almost all of eastern europe under your control, the cold war would be very much a onesided affair!

Nonetheless a brilliant ending for the roman empire and your AAR!! Looking forward to more!!
 
I felt this was a very good ending to probably one of the best aar's I have ever read. I myself played the same mod but the Allied Byzantine campaign. Destroyed Italy early, then with a joint effort of France and USSR attacked Germany. I have almost finished my Game and the soviets have fallen to my Byzantine empire. Anyway I would love to see a sequel in the modern era. :D
 
"all turned good" blah blah blah

aar itself was good but writing was "all turns good" thingie
and those roman "boy lovers" are sooo democratic peace loving so righteus!
lets smell some flowers!
 
... the ending... bah boring bah... :(

The aar itself was brilliant, but a happy ending including cold war wasn't that brilliant idea.... :eek:o

Continue this in MDS?
Just edit the map a bit...
 
Nice ending.:)
 
Good ending :)
 
The last update was ok-ish I think, though I would rather see all of Italy in the empires hands where it belongs. :p
 
Hooray for Rome and the Emperor!
 
To all you warmongers out there: It's my ending to my AAR. I write whatever I like, so let's leave it there. :mad: :)

It would be pretty boring if an author would bow to everyone's preferences, wouldn't it? Call me a peace-lover if you like, but I liked the idea of the Roman Empire as a proponent of peace and democracy, a step away from it's somehow conquering past. It seems that the Roman Empire is forever the symbol of conquering and expansion. So it seemed fit to change that image. Democracy is the way of the future.

Hey, they got Italy back, despite only in the form of a personal union. That must be satisfactory, right?

FANTASTIC ENDING! WONDROUS AAR!

This is the best HoI AAR....ever! Great ending, nice to see peace restored. I believe history will be like ours from that moment on, the Soviets will fall and the world will turn out like ours, except with the Romans in charge.

Congratulations Mr Hearts! This is AAR is one of my biggest inspirations in AAR-writing! Truly a classic!



:) asd
 
Another classic which ends in a wonderful way.

A magnificent reading.
 
Bravo, though I find it odd that Konstantinos would be crowned by the Pope.

Especially because I don't doubt that Patriarch of Constantinople would jumped at the opportunity to rub it in to Pope by crowning a king that owns Rome. :D

It's for legitimacy in the eyes of the Italians and the Roman Catholics. If Konstantinos had been crowned by the Patriarch, it would most likely enlarge the space between Catholic Italy and Orthodox East.
 
Very nice to see an ending to this excellent AAR. :cool:
 
It's over? Aw, man... :(

Very very nice ending. Now the Roman empire rules both Romes, and is truly a superpower. The cold war should be an interesting thing to see... too bad you ended it before then.

All in all, amazing AAR. I very much enjoyed it.
 
I know from personal experience that the author's endpoint doesn't always match the readers' and sometimes the latter can "persuade" the former to continue. ;) If this is, indeed, the end, I will say that I regret following your tale late in the story, for I enjoyed the setting and the desparate maneuvering. :)
