Greetings from the Diplomacy* Adjudicator!! Feb. 22, 2003. Info.machsfd2* For rule differences between Machiavelli and Diplomacy, see the file "rules.machiavelli". The Struggle for Dominance II Machiavelli scenario starts in 1513 with six powers. The scenario begins with the French having been kicked out of Italy and the Milan duchy back in Sforza control (sort of). The powers and their initial starting locations and owned provinces are: A: Austria A-Austria, Carinthia, A-Tyrolea, A-Milan, F-Sardinia Aquila, A-Bari, Capua, A-Messina, F-Naples, F-Palermo, Salerno, Otranto F: France A-Avignon, F-Marseille, Provence, A-Saluzzo, G-Milan I: Milan A-Cremona, A-Ferrara, A-Modena, A-Pavia, A-Swiss P: Papacy F-Ancona, A-Bologna, Patrimony, A-Perugia, Romagna, A-Rome, Spoleto, Tivoli, Urbino T: Turkey F-Albania, Bosnia, A-Durazzo, Herzegovina, F-Tunis, A-Hungary V: Venice Bergamo, Brescia, F-Dalmatia, Friuli, Istria, A-Padua, A-Treviso, G-Venice, Verona, Vicenza x: Autonomous G-Arezzo, G-Genoa, G-Florence, G-Lucca, G-Mantua, G-Montferrat, G-Piombino, G-Pisa, G-Ragusa, G-Savoy, G-Sienna, 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. Special rules: The fortresses are not used in this scenario. Milan province and city are *not* part of anyones home country. France, Milan, Papacy and Turkey each have one die roll for var. in. Austria and Venice each have two die rolls for variable income. The player who controls Genoa city also gets one die roll for var. in. The player who controls Florence city also gets one die roll for v. in. Naples state and Sardinia are part of the Austrian home country and cannot be conquered separately. Florence is not a home country and cannot be conquered. 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. ----- * Avalon Hill, Machiavelli and Diplomacy are trademarks of Hasbro Inc.
