Machiavelli Classic Setup

The Struggle for Dominance I Machiavelli scenario starts in 1499 with 
six powers.  This scenario begins after the French neapolitan campaign 
that ended with the Treaty of Granada, awarding France the northern 
Kingdom of Naples (in the scenario Naples and Bari), and the downfall 
of the Duchy of Milan.

This is the beginning of what has been called the "Italian Wars" 
that involved the whole peninsula between 1494 and 1559.

The following Machiavelli scenarios cover this period:
  1. The Struggle for Dominance I
  2. The Struggle for Dominance II
  3. The Spanish Preponderance


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

A: Austria      A-Austria, Carinthia, Hungary, A-Swiss, A-Tyrolea
                A-Messina, F-Palermo, F-Sardinia

F: France       A-Avignon, F-Marseille, Provence, A-Saluzzo, A-Milan
                F-Genoa, A-Bari, A-Naples

L: Florence     A-Arezzo, A-Florence, F-Pisa, Pistoia

P: Papacy       F-Ancona, A-Bologna, Patrimony, A-Perugia, Romagna, 
                A-Rome, Spoleto, Tivoli, Urbino

T: Turkey       A-Albania, Bosnia, F-Durazzo, Herzegovina, F-Tunis

V: Venice       Bergamo, Brescia, F-Dalmatia, Friuli, Istria, A-Padua,
                A-Treviso, G-Venice, Verona, Vicenza

x: Autonomous   G-Cremona, G-Lucca, G-Mantua, G-Modena, G-Montferrat, 
                G-Pavia, G-Piombino, G-Ragusa, G-Savoy, G-Siena, 
                G-Trent, G-Turin


Note that the single letter abbreviations for the powers Milan, I, and 
Florence, L, are the second letter of the name rather than the first to 
avoid conflicts with the Master and France.  These letters are used for 
signing on and for sending individual press messages.

  (or anyone elses) home country.

  France, Florence and Venice each have two die rolls for variable income.

  The player who controls Naples city also gets one die roll for var. in.
