Here I Stand, which is the one I was asking about, is a board game based on the Reformation in Europe (1517-1555). The six playable powers (and it works best with 6) are the Papacy and the Protesants, who obviously have their religious struggles going on, converting towns to and from the new faith; England , France and the Hapsburgs (Holy Roman Empire - Spain/Germany/South Italy) who gain by capturing key towns and exploring and exploiting the New World; and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey/Balkans), whom in addition to military power, also score well for piracy.
The game I played yesterday finished with a domination win for the Hapsburgs in 6 hours, when they managed to capture London, despite Emperor Charles V being captured earlier in the turn in an attempt to take Edinburgh. They literally stole the win from the Protestants, who had reached the 25-point victory target, but domination beats points. I played France and came 3rd thanks mainly to excellent results in the New World.
Thanks this sounds like a cool game.Here I Stand, which is the one I was asking about, is a board game based on the Reformation in Europe (1517-1555).

The beauty of nature
Oh ya nature is good, also I do like to watch nature programing sometimes. But I grew up being surrounded by trees and animals all my life, so I rather see nature with my own eyes. Not really the Chuck Norris type though, couldn’t swim through dirt, more of a long weekend type or just a day trip. Oh just put in High Level Alberta in a internet map, that is where I'm originally from. Small town, out in the middle of nowhere, not a whole lot to do other than go out and see nature. lol Moved down to Calgary to see what it is like, city living is not bad, but I like having nature around, actually I lied a bit. I'm actually living on an old ranch, that the city gobbled up, so I guess not exactly city living. lol But I do see myself going back to living in an area with a lot of nature around it again, don’t know where really. You see some amazing things in nature, like I have seen the whole sky light up in Northern Lights, and they actually dance.
