^"Henceforth, like the doubleheaded black eagle in the imperial coat of 
^ arms, the Habsburgs had two heads at Vienna and Madrid, looking east
^ and west."                             -Mamatey

^The year is 1526.  Suleiman's Ottoman armies have slain the Hungarian king at
Mohacs, ending all claims to Habsburg possessions in Central Europe.  Charles V
has been both Holy Roman Emperor and king of Spain since 1519, the culmination
of centuries of shrewd marriages and politics. But he has also inherited his
family's enemies:  the Valois of France, who covet the rich cities of Italy;
the Turks, who will not stop in Hungary; and the English Tudors, always anxious
to curb the power of continental rivals.  Underlying these struggles, a debate
begun by a guilt-wracked monk named Martin Luther will prove the most perilous
threat of all.  Already German princes harbor Protestant preachers, and the Low
Countries welcome the new religion with open arms.  The stigma of excommunication
means little to those who have renounced papal authority; perhaps Castillian
Castilian arms and the riches of the New World can tip the balance . . . .

^The Habsburgs are the protagontists, so you may want to try them first.  Every
civ but the Catholic Cities nation is playable however.
