The ashes of Napoleoin's empire are barely cold, and france is bowing low; the Union Jack is flying higher then ever, the germans are having there first ideas of unity; the russian's pride pumped up by its victory over the french armies is at its climax. The austrian's are building up their empire and the turcs hope for a turn of the tide. What better setting for a wargame? Indeed, nobody knows what europe would have looked like if there hadn't been th treaty of Vienna. If Bismark hadn't been.
God what a game that would be, you could even extend it by going untill the 1880s and the expansion of the colonial empires.
I don't dare imagine how amazing that game would be. I would cover a period of time not to far that it wouldn't allow people to rlate to and from spai and portugal to Turkey and Russia everybody would feel a tie to there ancestors empires.
Still just an idea for you wonder-making devs

I see one big mistake in your idea: It??s only the time period you talked about. The fact is: You can present this game in any way you want. So, what are your special ideas? Should it be like Legion Arena or turn based like Spartan?

Both ways would be magnificient and more so, both taken together would be fantastic! Imagine building up your empire, developing tchnologiues like it had never been done before, putting the accent on cannons like in france or using french discoveries dto equip you ships like Great Britain.... It would be unbelievable this time period is fertile that i trust slitherine to turn it into the best strategy game ever made
