## Description

_Bonaparte_ is a turn-based strategy game in which the player takes the role
of a European nation (France, Prussia, Russia, Britain or Austria) and tries
to become the most powerful one. The game starts in 1789 and ends at the
latest 70 years later. Every turn represents one month and the ruler has to
think about a lot of things: Diplomacy, Military, Economy, Research and Reign.

In every of these categories the player has a lot of settings which influence
a lot of further statistics, e.g. high taxes decrease the satisfaction of the
population. When they really hate the player this can result in a revolution
or even a successful assassination.

Of course the player has not only to think of the own population and diplomacy
to progress in the game – war was an important part in these times. When he
chooses to start a war with another nation he can order his troops to attack a
province. His only possibility to influence the outcome is to choose one of
four tactics beforehand – the rest is automatically calculated by the
computer. The battle presentation is abstract with differently coloured
arrows.
