I recently bought Play The World and thought to myself:
"Ho! Why not build a scenario encompassing some point in world history?"
So I am.

The scenario begins in the year 1900 and continues to the year 2050, through 300 turns of epic rivalry between the great powers. In the year 1900, Europe is the effective centre of the world, with the British Empire dominant over all, but as the years and decades go by, this will change.
-The United States, balancing on a rocketing economy and prodigious industrial base, is rising quickly for prominence on the world stage.
-Russia will face war with European powers and will form a resurgent economy of frightening industrial and military growth.
-Germany will make its bid for power and the formation of a massive hegemony.
-And all around, the British and French Empires fall away, bit-by-bit, to independant powers.
Basically it will be a *broadly* historically accurate (to begin with) race for power, with all nations playable, including:
Britain.
Germany.
The United States.
Italy.
France.
The Russian Empire.
China.
Japan.
The Ottoman Empire.
And many more!
Playtesting is going well, and I am distributing this to all and sundry on the messageboards I frequent over Christmas, when the first playable prototype versions will be ready.
Are you willing to help playtest it when I release the first versions?:)
**Will require the Play The World addon.**
