Favorite AAR?

September 4, 2009 12:33:03 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Since there have been quite a few updates to AAR's recently, as well as the fabled "The Last Battlefield" finally coming to close, I'd like to ask what their favorite AAR is. It can be total fan fiction, or a true AAR, which really documents how the OP's game played out.

So, what is your favorite?

For sheer sweep and breadth I am going to have to go with Admiral Maximus's magnificent 'From The Ashes' It really is superb

Closely followed by Themoclaw's 'The Last Battlefield'.  If it was a prize to Services to AAR then Themoclaw wins all the way

And I must also mention General Homsar's 'Rise of the Earth Federation' which might have been top of my list had he finished it (hint hint )

Komnenos' The Twists of Fate and Fortune is fantastic.

And how can I not mention Mambaman's epic, The General and the President?

I know this one isn't on this forum but Director's Frontier over at Paradox is still the best aar I've ever read. Here's a link

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=261263

 

It is a story told from multiple points of view that reads kind of like one of the Honor Harrington novels. It's somewhat light on the screenshots but makes up for it by being a very good read.

Very cool. I need some more stories that people view as amazing stories. I am creating a compilation of AARs and other GalCiv2 lore for free download. Give me some stories so I can PM their authors and ask for permission to include their work.
