Game Notes:

1) Mega-mucho-magnified-stupendous thanks to Harold Reynolds for the new map. Let us know if you see any errors in the map, but I think the observers of the game should really be able to follow it now, ever though the dimensions of the continents are much more distorted in this version.

Press:

(BEIJING, SEPT 5, 1759): After the early retirement of Emperor Gordo Acheswang due to illness, his successor Harro Reynowong has successfully installed himself and his new administration in the Forbidden Palace. At a press conference today, the Emperor was asked about changes in foreign policy that have become evident over the past couple of weeks.

"Emperor Acheswang was known for his anti-English and anti-Spanish sentiments, as his direction our our military forces, economic embargos, etc, in the current global war have shown,'' said Emperor Reynowong. "My military advisors and I have been studying the current situation very carefully, and believe that the writing is on the wall for the Russian/Austrian alliance. Their possessions in North and South America and Africa appear to be doomed, and there's nothing that we can do about it. Although we have had cooperative relations with them in the past, a continued alliance will not be in the best interests of Greater China, as the Anglo-Spanish alliance will control the world outside of Eurasia and would, in the end, be able to overwhelm us by sheer weight of numbers.''

In a bizarre incident, a reporter asked "Is it true that Confucious says that 'man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day'? Or that 'man standing on toilet is high on pot'?" The man was quickly hustled out of the room by security personnel, cursing in Russian the whole way. The Russian Embassy had no comment on this incident, but was "Studying the situation closely".
