The old world is in ruins... Will you rebuild it, or will you conquer it?

The year is 1709 and Europe is taking form. Nations are arising, making their claim in the world. The beginning of the 18th century is bringing in a new ara of European dominance and each country is enthused in showing it. Some nations will show power through trade; creating caravan routes stretching to the Northern parts of Sweden to the Southern provinces of Egypt. Others will strengthen their nations through deplomacy, relations being persude from the Eastern parts of frozen Russia to the western edge of the ocean bordering Portugal. And some....some will choose the path of war, waging it against new enemies and old allies. Allegiances will be forged, others torn to shreds. It will be your choice on how you will rule and or serve your nation. Do what you believe is best and you will surely find success in whatever path you choose.
