    Ingame introduction text:
    • The Middle Ages are over and after 100 years of Renaissance, conflict is brewing in Europe.
      In the south the Muslim Ottoman Empire is rapidly expanding its sphere of influence and it seems to be but a matter of time before the gates of Vienna are reached. The Ottoman throne has just been assumed by a young new Sultan, Suleyman I. Soon to earn the suffix "the great" or ”magnificent”, this man will make the empire flourish like never before.

      To the north, The Holy Roman Empire of The German nation is being torn apart by inner strife, a priest named Martin Luther has posted 95 theses protesting the Pope’s control of the church, igniting what quickly becomes known as the Protestant movement.
      While the converts to this faith are numerous among the peasants, many German Princes are quick to adapt this new religion not out of religious conviction but because it places them in command of the church of their realm.
      It seems only a matter of time before the monarchs of major nations will try to use this new weapon in their struggle to increase the power of the state.

      In the far north of Europe in a desperate attempt to uphold the Calmar Union under danish rule, Kristian II, forever to be remembered as "the tyrant" in Sweden, executes the leading men of Sweden’s nobility after quelling their attempts to make Sweden independent. Effictivelly paving the way for Gustav I Vasa, who after seizing power in the lead of a peasant rebellion, is able shape the Swedish state entirely after his own designs due to the lack of leaders among the nobles.

      In both Spain and Austria the mighty Habsburg family has, in an effort to unify their holdings, appointed the same man to lead both countries. However, in Spain the crowning of the foreigner Charles V has resulted in nothing but resentment. Soon enough several major cities are revolting against their new king, but these revolts are both loosely lead and ill coordinated, they are doomed to fail…

          That seems strange, I have my suspiciouns though, this might well be a corrupt zip (happened before, if you open the txt file, are there any new lines in it?)

          It appears my zip program at times like to put some sort of strange characters instead of new lines in my text documents

                Yup, most of the txt documents have some sort of corruption between the lines. Hopefully just using a different zip program can solve it...

                  Open and save each text file with WordPad. That'll fix the line endings.

                  Mac and Windows use different character sequences for newlines.

                    Hmmmm.

                    Tried it, Mercator. Couldn't get it to work. When I saved the file, it didn't alter the code. Events, etc. are still messed up.

                        When you want to start a PBEM let me know. The second playtest of version 0.21 is dying. Hopefully between that Pbem and the original Historibus we can put together a PBEM of this one.

                        Yaroslav gets first dibs on Spain or Sweden.

                        Ill playanyone other than the Ottomans but I prefer the English.

                        Let me know and advertise at both places (Original and 2nd ver 0.21 playtests.)

                        Thanks Good job on this BTW, I enjoy the heck out of it. Any plans to make a friendlier single player version?

                          I've now zipped the files with two other programs, the first post has been updated.

                          Both of the download files above have been updated, I made two versions using somewhat different methods. Hopefully both should work.

                          Mercator is right about what whent wrong, howevr this particular zip program has only produced PC compatible zips before (I recently patched it however, so I suppose that's why it's acting up now ).

                          Download urls (same as in the first post) :
