[MrDgcr]

Hello guys, as you can see, this is my very first aar ever on this forum, everywhere. I am amazed by the monnikje's Me, Floris. I still can't believe how good it is. Never mind that, I hope you will enjoy this aar.
I'm doing save and quit, so no cheating. 
Settings I made like this:
Demage to player: Normal
Demage to frineds: Normal
Combat AI: Normal
Campaign AI: Normal
Combat Speed: Normal
Battle Size: 80 (It still lags)
This gave me difficulty rating of 96%
I'll see will I be able to play like this.

                                                                HISTORY


I was born on 1234th, in Serbia, small kingdom on Balkan peninsula in Europe. I was son to a despot Nemanja, vassal of King Dusan of Serbia. My mother was a Ana, lady of Smederevo. On year 1251th, my father died in battle with Bulgars, and because I was his only heir, I inhericted town of Smederevo. On year 1255th I married Lady Helen of Hungary, and next year, she gave a birth to a Nemanja II, my first and only son. I was managing my town and outskirt villages of it well, until Bulgars conquered it. Me, my wife and my son, sailed on my ship and managed to go to Italy. We could see coast of Italy, but that terrible storm caught us. Everyone died except me. I woke up on the coast of strange land. That was not Italy. I could racognize it. It was different. From the local people, I could learn name of this land is Calradia. What a strange land. I never heard about it. Also, I heard that capital of Kingdom of Swadia, where I am now, is Praven, and is not far from here. I will see what destiny will make from me. I am starting from scrach.

Dear diary,

what a welcome for despot, I mean former despot I got. First a cold steel from a bandit, who first argued with me and then sliced me with his sword. Then, a merchant came up to me, and took me to his place. After a warm drink, I decided to go, but merchant stopped me. He offered me to save his brother. I accepted, becaue family is most important. I left his place, and heard that tournament is held at arena. I signed up. I don't know how, but I made it to the second round. In the second round, I knocked out last standing enemy, but unfortunely I was knocked out later in the third round.

Me at Tournament


It was time for my quest. When I left city I was really dissapointed. Land was really not much populated, but it doesn't matter. I went to Azgad, where 3 swadian farmers joined me, then to Veidar where 2 farmers vooluntered themself. In tavern of Praven, I met merchant again. He tol me bandits are awaiting in outskirs of town. I slew them and tracked down their hideout. It was near village of Veidar. Me and my not-yet soldiers defeated bandits in their own hideout. My men were following me whole time. Merchant's brother was saved

Battle at hideout was won


I returned to Praven. I sold loot I took from bandits for 178 denars. Also, merchant rewarded me with 200 denars.  He offered me another job. Captain of local guard of Praven was corrupt, and has let bandits in town. We will have to eliminate him. In evening, we striked. Two bandits and a captain fell to my blade, but when I was hit in the head, everything went black. Again, merchant healed my wounds. I thanked him, so did he. It was time to say farewell. Next day, I met king Harlaus, ruler of kingdom. I knew how nobles do, so I succeded to make audience with him. After a short talk, he offered me to delived a letter to count Regas, who was at Ryibelet castle. I accepted. In dawn of march 24th, I arrived at castle, but count was not there. It was harder than I though. I departed to Suno, hoping I will learn where count is. When I arrived, I heard tournament was held, but unfortunely, I was knocked in first round. In the palace, Lady Anna told me count Regas is travelling to Haringoth castle, and is near Iyindah. At least, I found count at Haringoth castle. Feast was held at castle. I gave letter to cound, and my quest was finished. I encountered king Harlaus, who offered me another job. This time, he wanted me to find and kill man known as Joayah of Tosdhar. Bounty for his head was 300 denars. That was a great opportunity to gain king's trust. I accepted gladly. On my wasy to Chide, were outlaw was, I encountered group of Lootersm whow me and my men easily slew. Of totally 8 looters, 5 survived and became my prisoners. In the morning of march 26th, I arrived at Chide. In the backyard I found a suspicious man, and he looked at me, I knew he was a murderer.

Murderer in backyard


Before I came near him, he threw axe and hit my chest. I fell to the ground. After I was able to walk, I rode towards town of Dhirim, where in tavern I met a man named Lezalit. He said lord of Dhirim refused his offer to train troops, bu he might be useful in my little company. For 400 denars, he joined me. In morning of march 28th, I reported Harlaus my fail. He was dissapointed.

King has lost his trust in me. I was losing my money. In the evening I was venturing town of Praven, where I met guild master. I asked him for a job. His answer made me happy. I had to track down 3 groups of looters, that were terrorising outskirt villages of Praven. First group was consistin of total 15 men, but we crushed them pretty easily. Second group was of 9 men, while third had 16. I was surprised after I saw fourth group. For fourth and last group, I was searchin 4 days, and finally found them. They were near Veidar

Die looters!

Looters were easily crushed. Bounty for every group was 40 denears. I ended 4 groups, and earned 160 denars. Sweet money I could say. In dawn of 1st april I encountered Harlaus, near Praven. I asked him for a task. He offered me to collect taxes from Iyindah. I was surprised he gave me any quest, but to collect taxes. It looks like he still trusts me. In the evening of april 2nd, I collected 3357 denars. My reward was fifth of it. I went to Praven, but king was not there. I hate when that happens. I met count Rochabart near Veidar. I was so angry, and almost tried to cut his throat when he told me that I am son of cattle-thief and bandit, but no.
'' I am former despot in Europe!'' - I told him
'' Despot? A commoner like you? I should kill you right now, but I'm in good mood today!'' - he answered
From count I learnt king is near Azgad. I gave Harlaus 3357 denars. He let me keep 650 denars. Nice, really nice indeed. Best way of earning money was always trade. I learned buying ale from Praven and selling it at Bariyye would make a profit. I bought 4 gallons of ale and departed to Bariyye. I stopped at Dhirim, bought Iron and sold it at Reyvadin from 600 denars. A trip to Bariyee took me 7 days. I sold ale for 525 denars. What a strange town Bariyee is. I have never seen a town like this. Next day I bought 3 bags of salt, and hope I could sell it at Jelkala for a high price. In tavern of Bariyye I met 3 people, Firentis, Deshavi and Ymira. They offered to join my company. Deshavi was a good ranger and tracker. I could use her skils. Next day, thanks to Deshavi's skill I could see walls of Almerra caslte, which was on border between Kingdoms of Rhodoks and Swadia. Mountain of Rhodok tribe were beautiful. On april 10th, I have arrived at Jelkala, a Rhodok's capital, and sold salt for 797 denars. I need to train my troops. On my way to training field I have encountered 14 mountain bandits

I have some soldiers already

I said my little army to advance ten paces. Then crossbowmen shoot bandits and killed almost all of them. Then, me and other infatry and one man at arms charged bandits and killed them all. Sweet victory, sweet money, sweet blood I could say.
