Timeline:
NOTE: All phrases in timeline in italics are an optional event to change the course of the game.
In timeline events, if a nation is underlined, that means that it is their choice to carry it out. EXAMPLE: Germany and Russia change status to war, Germany is underlined meaning it is their choice to declare war on Russia, not Russia's choice.

Day 52 = November 1918: Victory count begins. All combat ends, and both the Central Powers and Entente figure out how many enemy capitals they took (each one matters.) If Germany took Paris, the French moved their capital to Marseilles, and then lost that too, that counts as two capitals for the Central Powers. If the number of capitals taken for each nation is equal, then another "year" is fought. This continues until an alliance has more capitals than the other at the beginning of January of the nest year. Once an alliance loses, all of their players must go inactive, and the remaining alliance may finish the war without attacking each other by retiring or invading neutral territories. NOTE: Neutral nation capitals do not count towards the final score.
