Spring 1461 A.D.

Our historical simulation concludes with victory for France, the HRE, and the Papacy, as the three of them combine forces to form a new sacrum imperium and to win the peace with their 18 units combined. Pope Augustine I transfers the imperial throne to Emperor Eric III, who will henceforth be known as the Defender of the Peace (Defensor Pacis).

Pope Augustine I proposes to transfer the Empire back to HRE in return for HRE's pledge to always act in concert with France to defend the peace: because France, HRE, and the Papal States together would achieve world peace (by the sacrum imperium) with a combined force of 18 units (and because if everyone were to unite to form an "Empire" of 20 units against France, then the Pope would excommunciate the heads of state that undertook to construct that false "Empire").

AFTER THE FALL ORDERS ARE SUBMITTED, TEAMS IN POSSESSION OF SUPPLY CENTERS OUTNUMBERING THEIR NUMBER OF UNITS (ARMIES AND FLEETS) ARE ABLE TO BUILD ADDITIONAL UNITS IN ANY UNOCCUPIED SUPPLY CENTERS THAT THEY HAVE CAPTURED AND NOW CONTROL AFTER THE FALL TURN. (Note that when the game started, before your first move, your three units were already placed in the three supply centers that they controlled. Exception: the Turks started with control of four. Note: control remains even when a supply center is unoccupied, unless someone else captures it.)
