And yeah, double posting for that thread is alright if need be. =)

So neeeeeh... neeeeh.... ok. Done.
First off... you'll all be thinking this.
What on earth is an AAR?
An AAR is whats called an "After Action Report", and it basically is what some people write whilst they play the Total War games (MTW, RTW, MTW2, ETW etc).
People write what happens, what they do, why they do it, and post some screenshots too.
I decided I'd do one, just for interests sake. This is on Rome Total War
*Note* - All screens are thumbnails linking to the real deal.
So... game settings.
Very Hard/Very Hard on the difficulties, and set it to "Short Campaign" which means that I don't have to conquer the entire bloomin' world, which is nice in retrospect. Details are at the bottom of the screenshot.
As you can see, I decided to pick the Greeks. I've always liked them, no matter what sense they've been in. I love their history, their playing style in AoM and that general era of time itself anyway. I also like their method of warfare. I'm a person who likes each extreme in Ancient Warfare, either civilised (like the Greeks) or totally barbaric (something like the Scythians, and other ancient nomadic horse archer tribes).
So... lets see how this goes! This... is... SPARTA!
Just another note, I'll be doing this when I have nothing else to do, so it is a low priority (below TAD, sigs, forum, etc).
