The Normans in Italy.
It is the year 1040 AD and the Normans have invaded Italy. 
Rannulf has arrived with massive forces and have set up small bases along the
coast. They have strong attacking forces but poor Cities and medium defences.
Meanwhile Robert Guiscard has seized the Duchy of Apulia and has proclaimed
himself Duke. The Apulians have lots of stolen booty, medium cities and stong 
attacking but weak defensive forces. They have also seized much knowloge.
The Melphians are one of the last remaining strong Italian Tribes but are being
weakened by raids from the Normans. They have medium cities but excellent
defences. Their attacking power is weak but have a medium economy. 
The Holy Empire has declared war on the Normans to support their allies the
Melphians. The Romans Have Mighty cities and a thriving treasury. Their
defences are excellent but stretched because of the extent of their empire.
Their attacking power is medium.
The Moslems are fighting a war with the whole of Europe but have not yet made 
any advancements. They have strong defences, Medium cities, Medium attacking
forces and a weak but growing economy.
Who will you choose to lead.
Will you become the supreme leader of the country.
You have until 1928 AD ( around the time of the facists ) 
to become the sole leader of the country or the country will face anarchy for ever.
