Epoque Moderne: Singleplayer Literally only a single player can join... Also, I made the title French just because it looks better than typing in Early Modern Period. This game is based on the era of 1400 to 1800. You get to play any existing country I put in this forum game. The game ends around 1800, but if you want to keep playing you shall (that's a long way.) I decided to make this singleplayer because apparently if I add in even one more player I will decide to stop managing it. But at most I'll just let two. I also spent like a week researching the countries of this era.

More could be added to the list, but this is it for now.
Explaining the Country Sheet Country: The country you are playing as.
Monarch: The ruler. (Think of you as the Monarch) Of course, when the government is changed to a republic or something else, the monarch is disposed, and a new ruler must be put into power.
Heir: The person is going to rule after you die (you are this person too). This too, is removed when you change your government type.
Country Rank: Where do you place in the world? The ranking is based on Great Powers, Secondary Powers, Normal Powers and Minor Powers. Military, economy, diplomacy, the size of your country, and much more affect how you rank.
City Capital: I will put in the historical capital of your country. If I don't know what it is or I can't find out what it is, you may choose a random city (doesn't even have to exist) to be your capital. You may change your capital name every once in a while.
Government: How the state runs. I think you should know what this is. There are many different types of governments, but the beginning default ones are Noble Republic, Absolute Monarchy and Tribal Government.
Stability: How stable your state is. If it is very unstable, there will be revolts, protests and general unhappiness. If it is very stable, there will be very few revolts and protests and the population will be quite happy.
Culture and Religion: This may or may not affect your country much. You may even put in any made up cultures or religions if you'd like. But some countries are locked to a specific religion. For example, the Papal States' religion is strictly Catholic.
Militancy: How aggressive your people are. If bad things are happening in your country, the people will be very reactive and aggressive, possibly causing a revolt.
Consciousness: How well people know what's going on in the government and country. Generally, the less the people know, the better. If your government and state are generally in good condition, you have not much to worry about.
Revanchism: Your people's hunger for revenge. Various things cause revanchism, such as betrayal, losing wars, etc.
Income and Budget: Every 1 page is a year, so you get the specific amount of money each year for income. Budget is how much money the government holds.
Embargoing: Embargoing basically disables trade with another country.
Armies: I think you know what these are.
Wars: I think you know these as well.
Prestige: Prestige is how well respected you are. You can gain this by winning battles, wars, etc.
Allies: Allies will help you in military conflicts and such. There are things that influence if someone wants to ally with you or not.
Puppets: Explained in the puppets section of diplomacy.
Relations: Your relations with other countries. I will only show major countries that you have relations with, for example someone you are at war with or just absolutely hate or someone who has good relations with you.
Treaties and Organisations: Organisations can be anything involving a group of country. For example, the Holy Roman Empire is an organisation. Treaties... I think you know these.
Royal Marriages and Personal Unions: Royal Marriages affect your relations with other countries and have the possibility of spreading your dynasty to that country. Personal Unions are kind of the same thing except the ruler of the Personal Union will inherit the other country.
Army/Navy/Commerce Tech: This is based on levels. The maximum level is 50. Each level will give a bonus to the specific category and sometimes an invention.
Difficulties Very Easy: Armies are very cheap to build and maintain, troops are very strong, ai troops are very weak/unintelligent, revolts are very uncommon.
Easy: Armies are cheap to build and maintain, troops are strong, ai troops are weak/somewhat unintelligent, revolts are somewhat uncommon.
Normal: Everything is normal.
Hard: Armies cost more to build and maintain, troops are weaker, ai troops are stronger/more intelligent, revolts are more common.
Very Hard: Armies cost a lot more to build and maintain, troops are a lot weaker, ai troops are a lot stronger and more intelligent, revolts are very common.
Insane: Armies cost an extreme amount to build and maintain, troops are extremely weak, ai troops are extremely strong and intelligent, revolts are almost regular.
Battle Modes Simplistic: Battles are based on dice rolls. Unrealistic.
Strategy: Battles are based on player decision, environment, weather, etc. Realistic.
AI Aggressiveness Peaceful: The AI will almost never attack.
Generally Peaceful: The AI will be peaceful but will sometimes attack.
Normal: The AI will act normally to situations.
Threatening: The AI will attack more than normal.
Hostile: The AI will take every chance to attack you.

Wait, so you made this whole game, with all this awesome stuff, for only one player? But then it wont be popular, yes one person may be having fun, and it may take time to deal with the long sheets, but still, I was interested in the game.

You can advance your technologies by spending money on it.
You are Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici of Florence. Your son, Cosimo de' Medici will take your throne once you die. Your country is a Noble Republic. It is ruled by the rich and noble but the country is much like a free state. Wealthy men and women roam the streets. There is very few poverty in your country. Your country grows rapidly, in population and economy. Military, you aren't very strong, however you excel in economics, navy and government. There are no events currently that need to be dealt with. What shall you do? (There are lots to do.)

Firstly I see the condition of the poverty. Then if really needed I start renovating their buildings and aqueducts. I also spend some money on some ships and train some soldiers and make stronger weapons. I also send officials and soldiers to Rome for a treaty.

There seems to be very few poverty within your country, and is almost non-existing in our capital. Some small towns and communities near the city are in a bit of poverty, though. Making stronger weapons would require you to put money into research, as you are at your limit in arms quality. You begin construction on some ships and training of soldiers. Some officials and soldiers are being sent to Rome, The Papal State, and will arrive soon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

You are Vasily the First of Novgorod. You are originally from Muscovy, but now live in and rule the Noble Republic of Novgorod. Though you are the high ruler of Novgorod, the state is much like a democracy. There are many serfs and poor peasants in your country, and there are very few rich. You have no official heir or any son. If you do not get an heir and you die, stability will drop and pretender rebels, which revolt and try to take the throne or place of government, will take over and the state may drastically change. You are bitter rivals with Muscovy.
You can play multiplayer with Garriss but you need to change battle mode to Strategic.

Divide our researchers into diplomacy and Naval tech.And send a truce/peace agreement to Garris/Florence.Then send a messenger to Muscovy "I am my own man now,and we are our own country if you cannot accept that then I will crush you under my foot lets stop with these disagreements and call it a truce shall we?.Then host a toournament with all the nobles fighting each until they are somewhat heavly wounded and make the winner heir/and command of the army.

You have invested 225 Roubles into Diplomacy and Naval research. Percentage to next level increases by a certain amount each year. The Muscovite leader, though enraged, agrees. You then host a tournament for the nobles to participate in. In the end, Ivan Zaytesev is the winner. He will now be the legal heir and commander of the army.

Put Ivan into tutoring about government managing.And get a quick militia called the Watchers who will defend the country at a minutes notice (much like the minutemen)

Ivan is put into government managing classes. Some of the population is mobilized into a militia. However, they are mostly made up of inexperienced, untrained, poorly armed peasants. They aren't too happy about the mobilization and they are terribly organized.

I put some florins to the Commerce and Army tech until it is finished. I also make the guards patrol the capital and outer towns. I still renovate the poverty towns.
