Greetings to /vst/ from a tourist from another board.
Finished my very first Anbennar campaign. While I had loosely heard of the mod before, the recent April Fools collaboration finally got me to try it, and I'm very glad I did. I don't think I've ever had as much fun in EU4, nor can I remember the last time I reached the end date.
Played as Verne, given how it is the first nation the player sees recommended to them by the game. I've seen in this thread (and elsewhere) that they're getting an update, hoping that it'll be good.
>Brief AAR
Started out by trying to follow the focus tree. Built to or near the force limit, subdued the gnolls (annexed all of Xanzerbexis and partitioned Akasik with Eborthil), retook Walterton and Oldtower (didn't expand too much in Anbennar proper to avoid AE), then went out colonising. By the Age of Unraveling, I had established a strong foothold in north South Aetlantir and everything was going splendidly; all until the League war began.
I, having converted to Corinite and allied with the emperor, turned out to be in the losing side of the war, with Ancardia (which was to become the second strongest great power) joining on the side of the Regent Court despite being Corinite themselves. Instead of fighting an unwinnable war, the troops were relocated to Akasik and helplessly watched as the fatherland was ravaged by its occupiers. By the end of the war, the fleet was entirely destroyed (never managing to fully recover), the fiends of Pealsedge had declared themselves as emperors of Anbennar, and a few miscellaneous lands were lost as well.
The 1600s were, in comparison, a relatively uneventful time, as Verne focused on rebuilding itself after the war. The most notable events of the century were Verne embracing the Ravelian faith and regaining lands that it had lost to the Aldresians (after multiple wars). Verne also tried expanding its colonial reach to Noruin (that failed) and consolidating its grip over South Aelantir (more success).
