Conquer Europe

The main objective of the game is to conquer all countries in Europe or to have the most progress towards victory after 100 in-game years have passed. Players can achieve this by forming alliances, launching attacks, and conducting research to strengthen their position.

• Each player and Al opponent will choose a starting country within Europe.
• The starting country will have a bonus depending on which one you pick. For example, Italy has the bonus of the POPE (Making alliances with Christia nations easier), and Russia has the bonus of WINTER (Granting less punishment of winter destruction and enemies suffer from winter when invading).
• Players will take turns planning , which can be Ally, Attack, Research, or Govern. The round spans 3 in-game months separated by seasons, during which they must make decisions and take actions. 4 turns equals 1 year.

1. Ally: Players can choose to form alliances with other countries. Successful alliances can provide support and protection during conflicts.
2. Attack: Players can launch attacks on neighboring countries to conquer them. Successful attacks can expand the player's territory.
3. Research: Players can invest in research to improve their military, economy, or diplomacy. Successful research can provide advantages in future turns. Govern: Players can change their form of government, names of places, nation's official religion, and name of the nation itself. This can heavily impact how other nations both player and non-player will perceived the nation. For example: If a Christian nation becomes Muslim, Muslim nations would be more suspectable for cooperation, but Christian nations will become more resistant. [Note: Dead religions like Norse Paganism or entirely made up religions are allowed.]

At the end of the player's turn, the success or failure of their actions will be determined based on certain qualifications, such as the strength of alliances, the outcome of attacks, or the progress of research for example. - Players must carefully plan their moves to maximize success and progress towards conquering Europe.

Inventions that don't exist beyond the year 1800 will be up for the taking, where and who invents doesn't matter, but please acknowledge that most inventions depend on inspiring inventions or prototypes prior. You cannot invent the telephone without the telegram for example, so some inventions will automatically fail.

• The game will end when either a player conquers all countries in Europe or when 100 in-game years have passed.
• If no player conquers Europe within the time limit, the player closest to victory based on territory control, alliances, and progress will be declared the winner.

When allying or taking over a country, the expanse of neighboring countries expands with it. For example: Austria can't reach Württemburg without controlling or allying with Bavaria. The only exceptions involve travel by ocean. For example: Denmark can reach Switzerland via sailing [Note: Sailing is always risky, so be prepared to most likely lose ships from the attempted journey, unless you have the NAVY Bonus which reduces the risk, but doesn't grant you immunity].
