Struggle for Empire v.1.00 Scenario for Microprose CivII
Written & Designed by Macario Reyes - 1997. 


This scenario is based on the struggle between the European
nations to create a world empire, you may play as the king
of Spain, England, France, Portugal, Sweden, the stadtholder
of the Netherlands or the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
The rest of the nations of the world are represented as the
barbarians, which is quite accurate, since at that time, that
was how the europeans considered the rest of the world.

The scenario starts in the year 1641, Europe is in the middle
of the thirty years war and Spain, France and Sweden are
fighting the Holy Roman Empire, while Portugal is at war with
the Netherlands after they took their colony of Malacca, at
the same time the Dutch have rebeled against the Spanish
domination of the low countries. While this is going on, the
British have taken advantage of the situation and have set
foot in the New World...

Each country has different advantages:
- Spain has the most colonies,
- England has the largest fleet,
- The Netherlands have the best trade routes plus a republican
  government,
- The Holy Roman Empire has 5 very important and useful wonders
  plus also a republican kind of government,
- The French have the largest army,
- The Portuguese have posessions in 5 continents, good trade
  routes and a strong army and navy,
- The Swedish have good relations with everyone, except the
  Holy Roman Empire and a good army.

Use this advantages to win the scenario, remember that the 
barbarians are no piece of cake since they have different units
in each continent reflecting each barbarian nation advance and
warfare.
