2) Another optional rule: Other pre-existing DOWs besides GB vs. FR
3) GB vs. FR can only end in unconditional surrender
4) Kingdom of North Italy as a political combination

On simul rules: While I understand the time advantages of Simul rules for PBEM, I've never been a fan. I've always thought the board game sequence was fantastic. PBEM ends up with unintended consequences. "We declared war on who?!?!?!?" "Our armies passed in the night?"

How do you implement the alternate dominant nations? I thought that was a great rule, but it seems like it would be hard in the Computer game.

Just a note, that 1, 2 and 3 can be house rules with no change in the coding. 4) needs coding, so might be the only one to ask for.
