It was because of this particular game that James fell hard into the world of command, where he could control every facet of his nation, even engagement of it's armies.
Deciding who to ally with and when to break those alliances in the name of conquest.
In the beginning James would play the historic nations, reliving history as it were.
Or even correcting the mistakes of the past by ensuring his nations did not fall to corruption, decadence and nepotism.
But as the years wore on, and countless play throughs were performed his choice of commanding nation slowly changed.
Rather than ruling over the great nations remembered for their great deed throughout history, he instead started playing for the greater challenge of playing the more minor nations and standing in opposition of these great powers, before once more seeking an even greater challenge as he began choosing the forgotten nations those who typically were quick to fall to the conquests of their aggressive neighbors.
