Map
The map is divided into six empires and three neutral areas. A player receives four troops per turn for each empire the player controls and six troops for controlling all the neutral areas. A common variation in play is to have each of the neutral regions worth two troops a turn. Empires:
- French Empire (Paris, Gascony, Netherlands, Brittany, Marseille, Burgundy)
- British Empire (London, Wales, Ireland, Yorkshire, Scotland)
- Russian Empire (Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Livonia, Smolensk, Ukraine, Poland)
- German Empire (Prussia, Berlin, Saxony, Rhine, Bavaria)
- Ottoman Empire (Turkey, Montenegro, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece)
- Austrian Empire (Trieste, Galicia, Vienna, Bohemia, Hungary)
Neutral/independents:
- Italy (Switzerland, Venice, Rome, Naples)
- Spain (Barcelona, Madrid) as well as Portugal
- Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland)

Famous quotes containing the word map:
“Unless, governor, teacher inspector, visitor,
This map becomes their window and these windows
That open on their lives like crouching tombs
Break, O break open,”

“In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas ... a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.”

“You can always tell a Midwestern couple in Europe because they will be standing in the middle of a busy intersection looking at a wind-blown map and arguing over which way is west. European cities, with their wandering streets and undisciplined alleys, drive Midwesterners practically insane.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
