AAR: After Action Report ?
AAR : Andy loves Ronda?
AAR: Aardvarks admire raspberry’s?
Its the first one...
Its a Civilisation 6 AAR (Rise and Fall)
Yay !
Well, lets hope so, because, I have wanted to do one of these for a while, but I have read many different ones, different styles, some good, some great, and I thought I would chip in with own 2 cents on mine, except....
We are not start at the beginning.
Hardly a new concept, but I will fill you in.
You see, a lot of people will talk about a game like Civ 6, or 5 or 4 or …., and talk about how to win on a particular goal, like domination, or cultural, or science, for example, but despite putting in over 3000 hours of Civilisation fun since Civ 1, I have never actually won a single game.
What is this madness I hear you ask ?
Well, the truth is, like many of us, I don’t try to win. Ever.
I play to have fun, building my civilisation, and when I get bored, or accomplish what I want to, I start again. I will play with mods, that in most part make my life easier, but I’m okay with that, because I just want to build my civilisation, and generally do it peacefully.
Anyway.....
My AAR doesn’t start with my first settler, trying to begin my fledgling empire. Instead, I will wirte this from turn 314 on the clock, 360 BC, where, due to the difficulty (Emperor), and mods I am running, we are about to discover gunpowder, have ship of lines running wild, have an empire 3x the size of our nearest rivals, and are about to declare war on every single country in the world.
At the same time.
So, the rules first.
No wonder building from day 314 ( where we start the AAR )
No attacking any other CIV in their land, except..
Only enemy’s within the Roman borders can be attacked, or those that can be reached via naval / ranged attacks.
Defending Roman Territory only
Can attack city states and capture them.
No declaring war on any city state that I am current suzirain of.
Settlers must continue to be built, with an emphasis on expanding Roman territory east wards to achieve a constant line of cities across the whole continent, and as many islands across the world to be settled as well.
If a Roman city is for example lacking housing, then the production queue must build for example a sewer to increase housing, before any military units can be built in that city.
Spy’s can only be used to siphon funds. Spy’s must not be used on home soil.
So let me give you an over view of where we begin.
Current CPU players:
Scotland, Norway, Cree, Korea, Mapuche, Brazil, Japan, Aztec, America, Zulu, Kongo, Mongolia, China, India, Sumeria, Egypt
Plus a number of city states.
The map is a true start Giant Earth Map.
And so here is picture above of the map as we start our AAR. As you can see, Rome, in yellow, occupy most of mainland Europe, with the exception of Scandinavia, and has spread East until we now border with Mongolia. The vast majority of the map has been explored, with several galleys, scouts and explorers out there trying to uncover what remains of the world. As you can see, Rome is easily the largest empire in the world.
