The team lists are at the end of this post.
In this game you are playing Napoleon of the French. Following your defeat by the Sixth Coalition you have been forced to abdicate and exiled to the remote island of Elba. It is time for you to take your revenge on the European powers that have defeated you. Are you up for the challenge, or are you going to end up like the real Napoleon, defeated and condemned to finish your life in exile for the second time?
Thanks for this scenario go to DynamicSpirit.
Timetable
The game will start on February 25.
As teams seem to be uncomfortable with less than four months to complete, the completion deadline will be June 25.
Game Settings
This is the start of the game (click for a bigger image):

- Level: Notionally Emperor, but this is a difficult map for warring.
- Map: You start surrounded by tiny islands (you are after all in exile). Your European opponents have rather more land available.
- Options: Vassals are disabled. No random events. No goody huts.
- Victory Conditions: All enabled (for the AIs).
- World Wrap: Cyclindrical.
- Speed: Epic
- Opponents: 6 European AIs.
- Special Map Features: To avoid the game turning into a great-lighthouse-rush, one of your opponents has been pre-settled and already owns a lighthouse and the great lighthouse.
Note that although the real-life Napoleon was exiled in 1814 AD, this game is a standard 4000BC start in all aspects other than the heavily modified map. Also, your opponents aren't exactly the countries of the sixth coalition - DS admits he took a bit of artistic license!
Awards
The laurels will go to the teams that can secure the conquest or domination victory with the earliest in-game dates.
Wooden spoons will go to the team who finishes the game (win or lose) with the lowest score.
