Ok so we start out with a Chaos game... 34 players. you can't attack other countries until you have conquered your own first, and can only attack other united countries though(further explanation to come)... The top 7 seeded players will play... the next 7 will play, then the next 7, and the next... that leaves 6 players, who will play a Classic VS game with no Italy... after those 5 games come to an end, the 5 winners(or top player from each game if a draw occurs) and the next best 2 will move on to the finals. the winner is crowned the champion of the tournament!!
Now you will be wondering, what does he mean about the chaos game special rule... well here it is.
Each of the 34 players will be divided into the 7 "countries":
England- Liverpool, Edinburgh, London, Belgium, Norway
Russia- Sweden, Warsaw, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Sevastopol
Turkey- Ankara, Smyrna, Constantinople, Rumania, Bulgaria
Austria- Budapest, Trieste, Vienna, Serbia, Greece
Italy- Tunis, Naples, Rome, Venice
France- Marseilles, Spain, Portugal, Paris, Brest
Germany- Kiel, Munich, Berlin, Denmark, Holland
So in the beginning you can ONLY attack the other countries in your "country", so no German land can attack anyone other than the other Germans. you must conquer all 5(or 4 in the case of Italy) of your "countries" centers before you can attack another "country"... in addition... after you unify your country, you can only attack other unified countries(I.E if France still has 2 powers, Germany can't attack them yet)... this includes retreats... you can however support people against other powers in the same country... once we get to 7 players left, the game will be drawn. Ideally there will be one for each region, however it may be possible for Germany to take over all of England while 2 powers still battle for control of Austria, therefore both Austrians would advance... which ever country you represent is the country you will have in the Classic(Italian will be Italy, etc.) if 2 powers from the same nation DO advance, that will be decided then... If this is confusing to anyone, feel free to ask questions...
