What should I do for my first AAR?

[TheLastOne36]

I am modding a mod called Whole World Mod, and will need to playtest my changes soon... I plan to do this via AAR. Who should I choose to play as? This is EU3.

Here are my choices:

Cyprus - Cyprus now has 3 provinces, and is quite an interesting choice from my perspective. Goals would be to see how strong you can make Cyprus now.

A Wallonian country - I have expanded in Belgium, adding new countries to the area, so when Burgundy/Hapsburg Belgium collapse, instead of Flanders owning all of Belgium, independent Belgium states get released. The goal here would be to go Wallonian State - Wallonia - Belgium - Netherlands. The options to play as will be Tournai, Hainut and Namur. I have already played a Belgium game recently though, and I still haven't completed it so...

A Romanian country - Romania has gotten reworked, and I hope they are now done well enough that they aren't any more just 'Buffer States' between Poland, Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Golden Horde. Modolva ideally can survive a Hungarian invasion, but we will see. Choices here to play is Wallachia, Transylvania, Modolva and a creatable Basarabia since it starts with a core.

Bohemia or Slovakia - I have reworked both regions, I could try playing as them.

Poland - Redone, I will most likely play this on my own time, but if people really want to see me try to achieve World Conquest with Poland, than so bet it. (Note, i'm not serious about WC) (Second Note: I might add some Polish minors as well, I'll maybe try playing as them as well)

Lithuania - Also redone.

Baltic nation - Area redone too.

Zaporozhia, Crimea, Ukraine, Some random tiny country from the area i'll mod in - Area remade a bit as well, Would be interesting game.

Teutonic Order - I have never played as Teutons before despite my awareness of it being a fun game, because I can never conquer Poland as them. Or rather, never have the will to do so. However, you guys can force me to do so through AAR. Entire Baltic area is reworked.

Portugal/Spain/Leon/Galicia/Catalonia/Aragon/Basque - I have redone Venezuela and Colombia, someone else has redone Mesoamerica and is currently flavoring it, and he asked me to take a look at fixing up Peru. The guy is a Brazilian and has also reworked on Brazil previously. South America is quite different. We can try playing a Colonizing game. Spain has been done by me numerous times, Portugal IMO is to boring and easy for me. I don't want to do Aragon or Catalonia because Tanicius Fox's AAR is on them. (or was on them...) Your picks...

Balkans country - Balkans are fairly redone, Croatia has 9 provinces (with Ragusta and Istria) Serbia has 8 provinces (with Vojvodina, Macedonia, Nis) etc. Plus some new countries. Should be fun.

Take a little vote on it and i'll make my AAR on the winner.

AAR will start roughly beginning of December as I still need to mod in events and stuff.

What game is this for?

 

[MrPopov]

EU3 according to his posts in other threads. I voted Cyprus. I think you should try to reclaim the holy land for Christendom!

Indeed, poor Aragon fading away before it could claim the mantle of New Roman Emperor... ah well.

Hmm... if you want a challenge, why not Navarre/Basque? I will worship you if you can turn a minor country like that into a power despite being smothered by Aragon, France, and later Spain.

Failing that, why not try a Galician naval empire?

Or Ukraine. Teach those Russians that you are the heart of the Russian peoples!

Overall, I want to see you play one of the minor powers - the chew toys - and try to become a major power in Europe.

So, I'll cast my vote for Navarre. The Basques shall dominate the French and Spanish, not the other way around!

I should mention that there is Navarre and Basque's, to different countries. I could get Basque to form in the first few years and start playing as them.

Also I was thinking of playing as the Knights and conquering Cyprus on day 1, than going for normal Knights objectives with Cypriot lands, such as Crusading,

I added in OP, that this is EU3.

Crimea! Or one of the Baltic states.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Just a little update... In case anybody wants to choose a Ukrainian minor now...

But... Ukrainian and Russian states now have the option to 'Restore the Kievan Rus' which is so awesome!! (that is like on par with restoring the Roman Empire)

Regardless of the results of this poll, a Ukrainian or Russian country is going to be one of my first choices to play. (after the AAR of coarse)

I say Serbia, because I like to see a Serbian empire and you trying to hold back The Ottomans.
