Farsightedness: The Butterfly Effect states that a butterfly that flaps its wings in Malaysia could cause a typhoon in British Columbia. So too could minor variations in one part of the board affect play across the board. The Captain of Watch asesses the board for all possible impacts - both immediate and long-term.

Nathan et al,
Yes, this map-only variant will probably need some work. I'm thinking of trying one of the other time period variants, in which only six or seven powers are present, to see if it's more balanced.
As for the full variant, I'd love to run it eventually. I'm going to see if I can find an electronic version of the rule book first, or type it out if I can't. I suppose the AH/Hasbro website will be my first stop. There's also the option of scanning the whole thing in and saving a PDF. That would certainly be easier than typing everything out.
If I do decide to run a full version of the variant, it'll likely be done by hand, since RP obviously won't support most of the options. You'll all have first crack at playing, of course, and if/when it happens, I'll send out a private email before I start open recruiting.
Thanks again to Kevin and Nathan, our first and second to be eliminated. I'd love an EoG from Kevin, too! ;o)

Thanks WW for a well run game as usual.

As for not seeing it coming, I pretty much expected Joe to wipe me out based on the first stab, but figured I would at least try to play along on the off chance he was being honest - since I knew I couldn't stop either he or max from wiping me out, I had few options.

Can't blame Max for his stab either.

My sole consolation in this one was that I did take Rome and that the Pope was taken down - who also fought valiantly by the way - and no hard feelings.

For what it's worth, I've never played the full version of the game, but I think the variant definitely needs some work. I'd be interested in understanding how the full rules work, since I assume they would have led to a very different set of outcomes.

Guys,
We have a bit of press from a modern-day Niccoló, and an exciting turn to boot! We say goodbye to our Neapolitan, Nathan, who fought valiantly until the end and never saw it coming. Of course, lack of knowledge of one's death doesn't necessarily make it either peaceful or easy. Nathan, an EoG would be welcome, either now or at the game's ultimate conclusion.
