BACKGROUND.

Since XV century, the Spanish had ruled in the World, their armies were
the largest and the best armed, but when Felipe II died the Spanish power
started to decline. In XVII century the Habsburg alliance was very strong
so protestants nations made other to protect their religion. 
In this situation, started the war. In May of 1618 the Bohemian, a 
protestant state ruled by catholics, killed some of their governors and
declared their independence from the Empire, this fact signified a new
Civil War in Germany that converted in a international one when Spanish
started the conquest of the Palatinate to help the Empire, then Danish,
Swedish and finally, French took part in it to be the new ruler of 
Europe.
* Peace of Westfalia.-
In 1648, the Empire had to surrender to protestants armies. This treaty
changed the frontiers of Europe and meant the end of Habsburg supremacy.
This peace put in order the new European space, French added Metz, Toul
and Verdun, and Alsace-Lorraine. Sweden took West Pomerany and the 
bishoprics of Bremen and Verden, Swiss and Netherlands obtained theis 
independence and German States got the religion freedom.
Spain didn´t sign this peace and continued the war against French. This
war finished in 1659 when the Peace of the Pyrenees meant new conquest
of France, new cities in the Low Countries, Roussillon and Cerdaña, but
the most important conquest was the crown of Europe, getting France
the supremacy of the continent.

NATIONS.
* Empire ( white ).
The East head of Habsburg Eagle was in Wien. They had an important army
thanks to Spanish helps. Their objectives are conquest Germany and 
put a end to the Protestantism, the peninsula of Jutland ( continental
Denmark ), the Turkish Hungary ( Buda, Gran, Zagreb or Pecs.)
and Transylvany ( Drebecen,Timisoara, Baia Mares. ) could be other ones. 
These objectives aren´t easy and you have a lot of strong enemies in
the North, conquer a exit to the Baltic Sea is very, very difficult.
* Denmark ( red ).
Denmark was the ruler of the Baltic Sea, it has a privileged situation
and his King is one of the richest of Europe but its armies aren´t
very strong and the catholics aren´t only its enemies, Swedish are
a problem to the control of Baltic so be carefull. They have few
objectives, conquer Pomerany ( Stralsund and Stettin ) and North Germany
( Lübeck, Bremen, Hamburg.) defeat Imperial armies and don´t lose  your 
territories.
* France ( blue ).
France is always a strong nation, but, now, it´s weak, this religious
civil wars has removed it from European fronts. You have to conquer 
Alsace-Lorraine from the Empire, and defeat your eternal enemy, Spain,
you have to conquer the Low Countries, Franco-Condado ( Besançon ),
Roussillon and Cerdaña ( Perpiñan ), Italy and support Catalonia. All
this would suppose take the relief of Spain in the European supremacy.
* Spain ( yellow ).
Now, Spain is the strongest nation in the world, your navy are only
overcomed by Dutch one but the Indian treasures come slower than a
century ago and your large army is very expensive. In the start you
are the winner, but have to support your domains. You can expand
along Languedoc ( Montpellier and Avignon ), North Africa ( Algiers
and Bizerta ), North Italy ( Mantua ), Alsace-Lorraine, the Palatinate 
( South Germany ) and, of course, continue with the war against 
Netherlands ( this is very difficult ). Be carefull with taxes.
* Sweden (Sky Blue ).
Sweden has taken part in some wars aginst Poland and Russia,that has 
convert it in a important nation of North Europe. Your principal
enemy is the Empire and you have to conquer Pomerany and most of
Germany that you can, but other important enemy is Denmark, its
ambitions crash with yours, you have to conquer North Germany,
and throw it from South Scandinavia. Other objectives could be
Livonia ( Riga, Valga, Parnu, Pskov...).
* Polish ( Grey ).
Poland was a catholic country very powerful in the East of Europe, but 
it was declining and started to lose terrain, Swedish and Russians in
the North, Turkish in the South and Protestants in the West were its 
principal problems. Your objetives are support your fronteirs and 
reconquest Letonia, Livonia and Estonia.
* Protestants ( brown ).
The different protestant states and kingdoms of Germany have united
in a potrestant league against the Empire this union has no
corruption but their armies are very weak, although Dutch navy is 
the most powerful of the world. Your objetive is defeat 
Habsburg armies and conquer all Germany and Prussia.
