I assumed that we were starting in 1821 because that's when Napoleon died. End of an age, beginning of another, that sort of thing. [quote=@The Grey Warden] What? Since I allow people to change the country's miltiary, industry, and other thing, I [b]have to[/b] give them the opinion to alter history. By change, I mean change just little enough to make sense. I mean, there is info on it; but, there might not be enough of it to summarize it. And they will not 'link the wiki'. I will make such of that. My final answer is going to be [b]no[/b]. You can't alter history, even if it's ten years or one year before 1821. You can keep trying to change my mind, but it wouldn't work. [/quote] Well, to take Willy's defense, if we want to change national details, we'll necessarily be changing history; Saying, for example, that the Austrian Empire is currently fielding the most elite army in Europe, or that Russian cities are the leading industrial centers of Europe, means changing stuff about the buildup to that situation. Granted, I agree that we should stick to the historical nations of the time period.
