Note: the main goal of the scenario is historicity and not playability.


The Lepanto Machiavelli scenario begins in 1566.  Austria, Papacy and Venice 
have allied against the Ottoman.  Miland and Florence are opposed to Austria, 
while Genoa keeps out of any alliance.


Machiavelli Classic Setup

The powers and their initial starting locations and owned provinces are:

A: Austria      A-Austria, A-Carinthia, Hungary, Tyrolea

                F-Sardinia

                Note: Palermo is not included in the austrian possessions.  
                It is probably an omission by the designer or printer.

                G-Piombino, G-Saluzzo, G-Savoy, G-Siena, G-Trent, G-Turin
                G-Palermo (see note under Austria)

                Garrisoned fortressess*:
                G-Fornovo, G-Piacenza 
                
Note: the suggestions below are not part of the original rules.
* Ignore in play with Machiavelli 2 map.
** Change to A-Urbino in play with Machiavelli 2 map.

Note that the single letter abbreviations for Florence, L, is the second 
letter of the name rather than the first to avoid conflicts with France.


Special rules:

  The fortresses are used in this scenario.  (If you do not use fortressess 
  no autonomous garrisons are to be set up.)

  Florence, the Papacy and the Ottoman have two die rolls each for variable 
  income.  All other powers have one die roll each.


Machiavelli 2
  
  Assume that the initial treasury is any surplus remaining after the 
  initial maintenance costs, else it is zero.

  Note: In the original text there are no provisions for play with the 
  Mach2 map and rules, nor for play with less powers/players.


Default victory conditions:

  The first player to control at least 15 cities and have control of at
  least two power's original home countries (eg: his own and one other
  player's) is declared the winner.
