IT IS THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1800, and Europe is once more on the verge of war.

The nations of Europe have been at peace for many years, but from the French revolution comes a dangerous new leader.

Napoleon Bonaparte.

Is he a diplomat or warrior? The old powers refuse to sit on their hands incase it is the latter, and start to rebuild their disbanded armed forces.

The great Admiral Nelson is preparing to defend Britain against any invasion, and Napoleon is preparing for conquest. Arthur Wellsley, soon to be the Duke of Wellington, is returning from a successful campaign in India to lead Britain's army. Prussia is trying to reunite it's nation, and Russia and Sweden size each other up.

Now Europe is rushing head long into war, and only the leaders can stop it...

RULES

The map is divided into provinces. Each capital is worth 5 credits(5c), and each other province is worth 3 credits.

A fleet costs 5 credits, and an army costs 3c.

Each unit just has to roll 7 or under in combat to kill an opponent. After all units have had this roll, combat is finished for that turn. If there are still defenders left, the attacker has to retreat. If there are no defenders left, but still some attackers, the attacker takes the province. If there are no attackers or defenders left, the province stays in the defender's hands.

Each unit can only move one province(or sea in the case of fleets) per turn. Fleets can transport any number of units in one turn, but only to a province on the other side of the sea it is currently in, or a sea adjacent to it. It stays in whichever sea is next to the province it is transporting to. It can only transport units to one location, and cannot move to the next sea if it is transporting units to a province that isn't adjacent to that sea.

Units can also embark the fleet, and move with it until they arrive at their destination.

Each province has militia which has to roll 5 or under to kill an opponent. Capital's militia fights as though it was a regular army(7 or under).

Militia isn't shown on the map, however fleets are represented by squares in your nation's colour in the sea it is in. Fleets cannot enter provinces.

Armies are shown by squares of either white or black(depending on which is easier to see) in your provinces.

Militia aren't shown on the map, but must be killed to take a province. They also automatically are rebuilt if they are killed(after the combat of course). Miltia cannot attack or move.

Each sea has a letter(there isn't one named O due to it's similarity to D), and each province has a letter(Sicily is part of Southern Italy, Corsica and Sardinia are joined, and Denmark is whole, not a lot of islands, and Istanbul takes up both sides of the mouth of the Black Sea).

YOUR ORDERS SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS: (Example is Britain)

Capital 6
1 army* - defend capital
1 army - move to 5

Province 5
1 army - take over 2

Sea C
1 fleet - move to D

It's that simple. Please put a star(*) next to units that are new that turn, like the first army in 6.

After I have received all the orders I will post the updated map.

Once 5 people have joined, the game will begin. I will control any nations which don't have players, and newcomers after the end of the first turn will have to put up with the decisions I made for that country.

EVERYONE STARTS WITH 5 GOLD DUE TO YOUR CAPITAL.

Also, your units cost you UPKEEP. This is one credit per turn per unit that you own. Say you have 2 galleys and 3 armies, that would cost you 5c. If you only have 6c coming in, that means you can only have 6 units at most. That means to buy another army you either need to conquer more territory or just wait the three turns to build up 3 credits.

Each turn will last about 3 days I think, at the beginning, then I will probably settle into a every weekend routine.

Finally, unused credits carry over to the next turn, and orders should be PMed to me.

ALSO NEW UNITS MUST START IN YOUR CAPITAL!

But one the game starts, I want all orders in as soon as possible, so I can post the updated map, hopefully before Wednesday.

Good luck everyone!

Neutral nations are controlled by you I assume Nemesis? :D Well, this one is just too good to miss and I will be joining as Napoleon Bonaparte. I'll be gone for a week though, so here is my diplomacy now!

----------------------------------------------
World
From: Napoleon, Emperor of France

I announce the inception of a new regime in the glorious nation of France: that of Napoleon I. Napoleon wishes peace with all nations but warns that France is a sleeping tiger which could easily be awakened by threats, insolence, or arrogance. Peace be with Europe!

Napoleon claims the following lands as his own, and will NOT tolerate foreign invasion into the lands secured unto the French Empire by divine right!

Bretagne (7), Normandie (8), Arverne (11), Provence (13), and Pyrenee (12), are France's.


--------------------------

His Majesty King of England
From: Napoleon, Emperor of France

Peace can exist between our nations if we cooperate. I would like our nations to move forward in diplomacy. That's why I invite you sign a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) pact.

"Neither French nor English warships shall venture into the English Channel (D) to ensure easing of tensions between the two great nations.

Signed, Napoleon Bonaparte
Signed, __________________"

I hope that this move can be a precedent for furthur exchanges between our great nations.

Le roy le veult!

--------------

His Majesty King of Spain
From: Napoleon, Emperor of France

Cordiality has always been the motto of our nations' relationship and I hope I may say the same for the future. France warmly wishes you the best of success in whatever enterprises you may choose to undertake, as long as they do not include seizing French land.

Le roy le veult!

----------------------------
His Majesty King of Italy
From: Napoleon, Emperor of France

France hopes friendship will continue between our nations. Switzerland (32) is between our nations. However, since the Swiss speak German and French, not Italian, I hope you will let the question of this land's ownership be settled between me and the rulers of Austria and Prussia, and not interfere. Evil imperialism will not be tolerated by the French and the Swiss will not tolerate rule by cultural outsiders. France will come to the rescue of any and all oppressed peoples.

Meanwhile, France again wishes you luck in your affairs for the coming year. Italian tourists will be encouraged to visit the French province of Provence which sports marvelous beaches and good fishing.

Le roy le veult!

----------------------

His Majesty King of Austria, HMK of Prussia
From: Napoleon, Emperor of France

Hello and welcome from your brothers in France! Napoleon wishes the heartiest of salutations to his German and Austrian brethren. Our nations have much in common and the French people are of the opinion that an alliance between our three fair nations would cement this friendship and help it stand the test of time.

As the central figures of Europe many other nations across the world may seek to turn us against each other, forcing us to guard long internal borders and leave our nations ripe for being conquered. Napoleon hopes his German cousins will see the fallacy of this. As one alliance we can present an unbreakable frontier to the rest of the world, strong in the knowledge that the greatest nations of central Europe stand with us.

In an act of faith in our comradeship I am ceding all claims to Switzerland to the two of you, and letting you decide which nation deserves it most.

Consider this alliance and let me know how you feel about expanding the interests of the three greatest European nations.

Le roy le veult!

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

So that all nations may see the honesty of my intent I am making my military orders clear for all to see.

I have 5 Gold in my Treasury and am purchasing 1 Army with 2 Gold left over. The Army is to seize Arverne (11) for France.

Army 1* Paris-Arverne (9-11)
 
Anyway, seeing that this is a more chance-based version of Diplomacy with more players, the following site might be of interest: www.diplom.org also you can visit the Dip section of our very own CivFanatics!
 
By the way, if the 2nd turn happens to pass before I return then merely spend all my money on armies and take the provinces I mentioned (real-life France)...
 
Right, I'll update the countries to include leader names soon.

Thanks to you all for joining!

And yes this was taken from a diplomacy site, then edited to suit my needs.

Also the Turkish capital was going to be the current one until I realised it was Istanbul. I'll move it now.

Nemesis
 
Hmm, on the next update I'll change the Turkish capital's number to white, I forgot to do it this time when I moved the capital, and it doesn't look right in black.

But it will do for now, and will be changed on the next update.

Also guys, I forgot to mention a huge part of the game - upkeep!

EVERY UNIT YOU BUY COSTS 1 GOLD PER TURN FOR UPKEEP.

Nemesis
 
The fine nation of Italy celebrates their new leader, ??? (nem I need a leader name).
He claims the provinces of Naples(27), East Italia(28), San Marino(31), Turin(30), and Sardinia(26) for Italy.
 
Final updates:

Corrected map(one numbered 70 now was unnumbered before).

Units MUST begin in your capital.

Fleets can pass freely through the Straits of Gibraltar, and from M to P so long as they own 48 or have an agreement with the person who owns it.

You can also fight your way into P or out of it by defeating naval forces that may try to stop you.

Nemesis

PS: WarlordMatt, about your coolbook: flattery won't get you any extra credits! :p
 
Finally, to clear up any confusion, you can move units as soon as they are built, and to take over a neutral province(when I said I would control neutral nations, I meant nations that had no leaders, not the unclaimed provinces!) just move an army into it.

Nemesis
 
RULE CHANGE: FLEETS CAN ONLY GO FROM M TO P OR VICE VERSA IF THEY OWN 48 OR HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM.

Fleets built in a capital that is near the sea must choose which sea to enter for their first move(they cannot move again after that).

Fleets built in landlocked capitals enter the nearest sea.

Finally, yes units can be built in enemy capitals, and you can build new production centres for 25 gold.

Chris AKA Nemesis

King Ferdinand VII continues the migty rule of the house of Habsburg in Spain. The country, beleagured by the fighting of colonies all over the world, now stays to fight whatever ambitions Napoleon may have to overtake Europe.

In order to maintain security for the glorious Spanish state and to keep what land is rightfully hers, the Spanish house of Habsburg hereby decrees that the following provinces must be attributed to their net worth:

Catalonia (15)
Galicia (14)
Portugal (17)
Granada (18)
Northern Morrocco (19)

The Spanish Empire stands to oppose whomever may deny us our rightful lands.

For King! For Country! For Spain!

To: Emperor Napoleon of France
From: His Imperial Highness, King Ferdinand VII of Spain.
Subj: Re:


Unfortunately cordiality was only appropriate when a civilized house ruled over your people. Of course now I have a despot on my front doorstep.

The Swiss situation should most definitely include Italy at the negotiating table; the nation speaks four languages, being German, French, Italian and Romansch. If your intentions are towards peace you will allow them to have their say in lands that their people live.

Very well, Spain does not have any immediate hostile intentions towards the people of France; but note, we will be keeping an eye on you.
 
So if everyone claims land, on the first turn you'll have one province 5 gold conquer another for 2 total and have 2 left over, then a salary of 5+3+2-1=9 and can conquer 3 provinces with new armies and one with the old for a total of 6 provinces, then on the 3rd turn you'll have the 4 armies, but you'll have 5+3+3+3+3+3-4= 16 gold to buy 5 more armies for a total of 9. And then you'll need to go conquering to find the wherewithal to support those armies...

So everyone will have a pretty balanced military except Britain who will develop a bit slower because he needs a fleet....
 
His Imperial Highness, King Ferdinand VII of Spain.
From: Napoleon, Emperor of France.

And we shall be keeping an eye on you as well, Spain. In the meantime, mind your own affairs! Spain has no place in the affairs of central Europe. Would the French contest your claim to Northern Morocco even though the culture there is more Libyan than Spanish? No, because we know our place.

In the meantime, know that peace is still desired between our nations by Napoleon and he hopes you agree.

By the way, in the fullness of time France would like to place a fleet in the Gulf d'Lyon (J) to protect our southern coast. France has no intentions on Corsica, Spain, Italy, or any other land outside her boundaries, but we will not allow Spanish and Italian troops to parade behind our borders draining troops on guard from where they are really needed. France has no intentions on the Bay of Biscay (H) or the English Channel (D) however.

Peace!

Le roy le veult!
 
To: Napoleon, Emperor of France
From: His Imperial Highness, King Ferdinand VII of Spain
Subj: Gulf of Lyons fleet


I will tell you now, Monsieur Bonaparte, that placing a fleet will do no more than encourage war between our to countries. It severely limits my options in the Mediterranean Sea against Italy or Tunisia and makes it all the easier to head right up to Provence and Pyrenee.

If you ARE seeking war between us, then I congratulate you--you have found an innocent-looking way to give me few other options. But if you speak of your peaceful intentions, prove them to me now and allow my fleets passage through the Gulf of Lyon.
 
The newly appointed King Charles Berglund XVI of the Kingdom of Sweden seized power this Friday after a series of bloody riots concerning the incompetence of the previos King Inge Naning

His first adress to the citizens of Stockholm, mentioned the annexation of Norway, North Sweden, Denmark and Finland, territories 68,67,38,66,65 respectively. The citizens of Stockholm shout out their happiness about King Charles decisions and 1000 people volounteer for the Svealand militia (ie the miltia for territory 69, my capital)

To: Tzar Chris of the Kingdom of Russia
From: King Charles Berglund XVI of the Kingdom of Sweden

I sincerely hope that Russia will realize that Sweden means business when it comes to the territories 66,65,67,68 and that territory 64 is, as far as Sweden sees it, up for grabs unless the Russian ambassador claims otherwise. I hope you will respect this by not moving in to our Finnish Protectorate before we have time to garrison it. Sweden would also like to declare that we send you, Tzar Chris of Russia a Peace Treaty wich i hope Russia will be wise enough to sign.



To: Monsieur Napolen Bonaparte of the Republic of France
From: King Charles Berglund XVI of the Kingdom of Sweden

Mr. Napoleon Bonaparte, I King Charles Berglund XVI respect your territorial claims for Bretagne (7), Normandie (8), Arverne (11), Provence (13), and Pyrenee (12), and hope that you will do the same for Swedens claim on Denmark(38). We also send you a Peace Treaty hoping you will sign it for the best of the Republic of France and for the Kingdom of Sweden


His Majestys Orders:

Train an army in Stockholm for 3 gold, leaving me with 2 gold left

Capital 69
1 army* - take territory No.68 (Norway)
 
Napoleon

You said it yourself, O King, "it makes it easier to head right up to Provence..." which belongs to France!!

I am NOT seeking war with either you nor Italy. Your placing a fleet in the Gulf of Lyon could have no other purpose than to attack me, Corsica (Italian) or Italy itself. Likewise, for Italy, except they might have an excuse, not wanting to anger the Libyans by taking Corsica through K.

Spain placing a fleet in the Gulf of Lyons is the same as for example as France putting a fleet in the Bay of Biscay (H) and saying it is for peaceful purposes...

If you will not tolerate only French fleets in J, then you will kindly agree that NOBODY can put fleets there and make it a DMZ. Unless you really DO want war with me, Ferdinand. In which case I say to you, "Venez pour que je te fais une tannee!" (Come and get a beating!)
