Complaints

 * Ianian58 (China [Quing Dynasty]): How did Napoleon come to power in 1889? He didn't come to complete power until 1804, and plus, even if he just came to power in 1889, he would still be another average French Military Officer, and he would leave from Corsica to France for his two-year trip as the Revolution has it's outbreak. Nobody really knew Napoleon; not even his first military event that gave him reputation (Siege of Toulon.) hasn't even happened yet. And also, why does Great Britain support the revolutionaries? If that got out public in London, you'd be seeing some few protests to overthrow the monarch in England! Britain historically supported the monarch due to fearing the British Monarchy may be overthrown due to the ideas of a republic spread to Britain - with French bayonets or not-.
 * Do you mean 1789? RandomWriterGuy 22:47, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I live in Quebec, so I know a bit of french, and the title should be vive la revolution! instead of vive le revolution! le is masculin, la is feminine and revolution is a feminine word in french...just a suggestion...-Lx (leave me a message) 22:51, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Issues

 * A note: this is the 18th century. Technology isn't great. Weapons aren't great. We don't have tanks to go through desert land easily. We go in turns of half a year. So, we can't have the Ottoman Empire invading the peninsula and getting almost 3/5ths of the land in half a year. It's just not plausible. I propose, like I've done on all pre-20th century games, that invasions and colonization can only happen on a small scale every turn. ChrisL123 22:44, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, if you research it, most of the peninsula was a nominal territory. And there was no country there in the Peninsula at this time. The Southeast corner had the majority of non-Ottoman Arabs, and that is where the Ottomans were kept out of.

 * ANOTHER ISSUE: All the alliances are interwoven. We have no opposing alliances! [[Image:IMPERIAL NY-SPQR 1.png|25px]] Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:14, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

The army and navy is half-way trained.
