The Huns are the big Mongol threat that CK gets in 12-something. There are basic personality traits that require careful allocation of roles in CK, where EU and Vic just had military talent. Annals clearly has echoes in all the Paradox history games. To my mind, Annals has more in common with Crusader Kings than the rest of the Paradox games.

I still play it from time to time. Obviously, the game has flaws, but in some ways, it attempts stuff that hasn't been tried since.

I had a good time with it a few years ago for the first time. Such a great game, puts Rome: Total War to shame in my eyes. You can find it pretty easily on the internet if you want to.

It's an interesting read; I certainly would have liked to have played an Annals of Rome. It would have been intriguing to see how much more challenging it would be to face the same type of historical events (rise of Islam or the mass movement of peoples) in a random manner. An early Islam or an unanticipated barbarian empire. A very ambitious game in its day. Very well well done! It’s an interesting read; I certainly would have liked to have played an Annals of Rome.
