Hi, just thought I'd paste this. It's from my forum, posted yesterday.

"The year is 1757, the thrones of England & Scotland are occupied by Old King George I, a ninety-odd year old madman who is murdered by the ever-growing Jacobite rebellion in London. On September 2nd, 1759, Charles Edward Stuart takes the throne by force and; after a forty-three year period of Hanovarian rule, the rightful Stuart family is restored for a second and final time.
The situation is thus: The east coast of America has been eaten up by rebellion, internal struggle, colonial warfare and the recent independence of the British east coast states, henceforth the 'United States of America'. His Majesty's Government was quick to establish positive diplomatic relations with the new republic, as well as both secure her independence and supply her with arms, with which to fight the natives. By the fall of 1759, the restoration of the Stuart throne was secure, and a state of war had been declared on Catholic Fance, led by the incompetent Louise XV.
And so, Great Britain & The Netherlands fought the previously invincible armies of France face-to-face on her own soil, and won. By 1762 a peace treaty had been accepted, resulting in the handing over of Flanders & Luxembourg to the Dutch allies, whilst the British received most of north-western France; from the coastal tip down to the great fortress city of Orléans, the new capital of British France.
Not for nearly 200 years had the English owned land in France, and not since the end of the hundred years war with the birth of Henry VI, had they a King of both England & France. Now, so many years later; despite the premature loss of the American Colonies and a second revolution, they had both.
On January 1st, 1765, Charles Edward Stuart, the once 'Bonnie' Prince whose previous attempt to claim the English throne had failed outright, was crowned King of France in a magnificent coronation in the mighty fortress of Orléans.
Charles Edward Stuart, King of England, Scotland & France; Defender of the Protestant Faith; Emperor of Western Europe and Overlord of the Seas...
Hope that was an entertaining read, I'll tell you the rest after I've actually done it in the game lol. T'was cool, though."
It was an odd game in historical terms, seen as George I (who was already, what, in his fifties?) died in 1727, yet on my game managed to live 'till just before his grandson, George III, actually came to the throne. lol that means George I would have been like 90 or something.
Has anyone had strange times for their monarch, especially after taking alterate historical events? I had to accept the Honovarians coming to the throne in the early 1700's, yet also accepted the Jacobite rebellion in the middle of the century, hence Charles III becoming king :rofl:
