Good job jonblend. Same country (Italy 1806) and same points (56) but more industry at the end. So, i've lost the third place just before the death line . I tried Italy 1798 twice this morning but got only 54 points. I failled to take Istanbul at the last round. It was possible at turn 17, but to late. I would have done better to attack the Ottoman city on the other side of the Mediterranean to build the 7th port. Congratulations to the baidu players : Italy 1798 was certainly the best choice to go far : one star, 3 generals, two possible victories against Naple and Sardinia, and 8 possible ports (but very hard to occupy the two last one, by attacking our ally : the Ottoman).

Hello, does this last run (Italy 1806, 56 points i think) counts ? I don't see it in the leaderboard.
No worries. Your result has been forwarded. So is jonblend's.

Since I played Sicily before I thought I could beat them easily and I already understood the dynamics of the 1806 scenario. But the thing was I didn't realize the rule about beating countries with fewer stars so I thought I had more points. Next I tried beating Austria but couldn't get to their last city in time. Then maybe one additional Algerian port but Sicily took too long to conquer; 16 turns is really not much, troops move much slower than in newer games and the North African coast doesn't make a difference..
