The only difference on the map is that Switzerland is passable, and is a neutral supply center. The great powers and starting positions are as follows:\n\n<u>Holy Roman Empire:</u> F Berlin, A Vienna, A Munich\n\n<u>England:</u> F Brest, A Liverpool, F London\n\n<u>France:</u> F Belgium, A Marseilles, A Paris\n\n<u>Spain:</u> F Spain (sc), A Portugal, F Naples\n\n<u>Venice:</u> A Venice, A Trieste, F Greece\n\n<u>Poland-Lithuania:</u> A St.Petersburg, A Warsaw, F Sevastopol\n\n<u>Ottoman Turks:</u> F Bulgaria (ec), F Smyrna, A Constantinople, A Ankara\n\nIt tends to be a more brutal, bloody game than vanilla dip, as the power's get into conflict right from the outset. Makes for a very interesting opening few turns. Otherwise, it plays just like regular diplomacy. The inspiration for it came from Gilbert Gelinas' Medieval Diplomacy, but other than the century, the two games are completely different.\n\nChanges to standard diplomacy:\n\n1) The game starts in 1454, the date traditionally given by historians for the start of the Renaissance in Europe. (Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453).\n\n2) Switzerland is PASSABLE and contains a supply center for the taking.\n\n3) Although the map is the same (except for Switzerland), the countries are different. (See below)\n\n\n=== The Major Powers: ===\n\n\n(A few liberties were taken with history, which will be outlined briefly \nbelow)\n\n'''<u>Country: VENICE</u>'''\n\n'''Capital:''' Venice\n\n'''Home provinces:''' (* indicates supply centre) Venice(*), Trieste(*), Albania, Greece(*)<br>\n'''Ruler:''' Doge Francesco Foscari<br>\n'''Starting Units:''' A Venice, A Trieste, F Greece\n\n'''Background:'''\nThe 15th century was Venice's 'Golden Age'. After the long war with Genoa in \nthe 14th century, Venice emerged as one of the leading powers in Europe. \nUnrivalled commercially until the rounding of the Cape of Good Hope late in \nthe century by the Portugese, Venice was spectacularly wealthy and powerful. \nIt could boast the largest and best navy in the world (at least in the \nEuropean world), and had many overseas colonies, including many former \nByzantine possessions in Greece, Cyprus, Crete, the Black Sea, along with the \ncoast of Dalmatia (modern Yugoslavia), and even some possessions on the west \ncoast of Asia Minor. The Republic was to last over 1000 years in total. \nUnmatched to this day by any state in Europe (well possibly San Marino).\n\n\n'''<u>Country: SPAIN'''</u>\n\n'''Capital:''' Spain\n\n'''Home Provinces:''' Spain(*), Portugal(*), Naples(*)<br>\n'''Ruler:''' Ferdinand II, 'The Catholic' of Aragon and Sicily (a.k.a. Ferdinand V of Castille, Ferdinand III of Naples)<br>\n\n'''Starting Units:'''F Spain (south coast), A Portugal, F Naples\n\n'''Background:'''\nWith the marriage of Ferdinand to Queen Isabella of Castille, Ferdinand \nbecame ruler of most of what we now call Spain, along with the Island of \nSicily. Naples was only added to the Kingdom in 1503, and Portugal was an \nindependent kingdom (which it still is today), but for the purposes of the \ngame, they will be incorporated into Spain.\n\n\n'''<u>Country: FRANCE'''</u>\n\n'''Capital:''' Paris\n\n'''Home Provinces:''' Picardy, Paris(*), Belgium(*), Burgundy, Gascony, Marseilles(*)<br>\n'''Ruler:''' King Charles VII<br>\n'''Starting Units:''' A Paris, A Marseil, les F Belgium\n\n'''Background:'''\nFrance had just recently thrown off the English yoke some 20 - 30 years \nbefore and was beginning to re-emerge as a European power. The main result of \nthe hundred years war, or one of them anyway, was to crush the nobility. The \nKing could now effectively wield absolute power. Soon his hand would be \ngrasping southward into Italy to join with Spain in a long struggle for \ndomination of the peninsula.\n\n\n[[Image:Renaissance_start.gif|center|]]\n\n\n'''<u>Country: ENGLAND'''</u>\n\n'''Capital:''' London\n\n'''Home Provinces:''' Liverpool(*), Yorkshire, Wales, London(*), Brest(*)<br>\n'''Ruler:''' King Henry VI of the House of Lancaster<br>\n'''Starting Units:''' A Liverpool, F London, F Brest\n\n'''Background:'''\nHenry V had conquered France, and had made himself heir to the French throne \nupon the death of Charles VI. He never saw the crown, however. He died soon \nafter; and on the death of Charles VI seven weeks later, his infant son, \nHenry VI became king of both England and France. He proved a weak king, and \nsoon lost his French possessions; all except Calais. (Note. Calais is not in \nthe vicinity of Brest, it's further east, on the straits of Dover... but what \nthe hell).\n\n\n'''<u>Country: POLAND-LITHUANIA'''</u>\n\n'''Capital:''' Warsaw [Krakow]\n\n'''Home Provinces:''' Krakow/Warsaw(*), Prussia, Livonia, St. Petersburg/Novgorod(*), Ukraine, Sevastopol(*), Galicia<br>\n'''Ruler:''' Casimir IV.<br>\n'''Starting Units:''' A St. Petersburg, A Warsaw, F Sevastopol\n\n'''Background:'''\nThe Polish-Lithuanian union in 1384 created the largest nation in Europe. Ruled from Krakow, it stretched from the Baltic sea to the Black sea. Warsaw became the capital in 1569, and was second (in Europe) only to Paris in magnificence. A couple of liberties were taken for the purposes of the game: 1) Although P-L stretched to the Black Sea it only ruled the western half of \"Sevastopol\". The eastern half was still controlled by the Mongols (the Golden Horde, to be exact). 2) P-L controlled Novgorod (i.e. StP) as a vassal state for a very brief period around 1470, but in 1454, Novgorod was an independent republic. After 1470 it was occupied by Ivan the Great (Ivan III) of Muscovy.\n\n\n'''<u>Country: HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE</u>'''\n\n'''Capital:''' Vienna\n\n'''Home Provinces:'''Vienna(*), Bohemia, Tyrolia, Munich(*), Ruhr, Berlin(*), Silesia, Piedmont, Tuscany<br>\n'''Ruler:''' Emperor Frederick III<br>\n'''Starting Units:''' A Vienna, A Munich, F Berlin\n\n'''Background:'''\nThe Empire was a loose confederation of german and italian states; the \nemperor being little more than a figure head in that he had little or no \ncontrol over the actions of his vassals, most especially those in Lombardy \n(Piedmont) and Tuscany. e.g. Francesco Sforza, Gian Galeazzo Visconti, and \nthe other leading figures in 15th and 16th-century north italian politics \nwere, technically at least, subjects of the Empire. The emperor himself did \nrule over his own home state, however, and usually had a formidable army.\n\n\n'''<u>Country: OTTOMAN EMPIRE</u>'''\n\n'''Capital:''' Constantinople\n\n'''Home Provinces:'''Constantinople(*), Ankara(*), Smyrna(*), Armenia, Syria, Bulgaria(*)<br>\n'''Ruler:''' Mehmet II, 'The Conqueror<br>\n'''Starting Units:''' F Bulgaria (east coast), F Smyrna, A Constantinople, A Ankara\n\n\n'''Background:'''\nHaving captured Constantinople the year before, and in the process destroying \nfor ever the last remnants of the old Roman Empire, the Turks steadily and \nrapidly advanced on the Balkans and on Europe, up to the very walls of \nVienna. (Twice). The next two centuries would see many great battles first \nbetween Turkey and Venice/Hungary, and then when Budapest fell, between \nTurkey and Venice (e.g. Lepanto).\n\n\n'''<u>**OTHER POWERS(neutral, no units):</u>'''\n\n. THE PAPACY: Rome\n. HUNGARY: Budapest\n. GRAND DUCHY OF MUSCOVY: Moscow\n. KALMAR LEAGUE: Denmark (+ Kiel), Sweden, Norway\n. SCOTLAND: Edinburgh, Clyde"
