In 1618, Europe stands on the cusp of the most destructive war in its history – a thirty-year-long cataclysm that will engulf the continent. Slaughter and rumours of cannibalism will haunt the land. War, starvation, and plague will decimate whole populations.
What started as a regional religious dispute spirals into a widespread, total war. No one will be spared in a conflict that still casts a long shadow across European history to this day.

Jesus, arriving: "hello, Sir, how are you? What's up?!"
God: "now, I thought I told you to go down there and inculcate in their hearts a message of peace and love!? What's happened, did you forget!?"
Jesus, looking puzzled: "what, no, I did that, I really drove that message home, …"
God: "well you obviously didn't do a very good job getting them to understand. "
Jesus: "no, I really was very clear about this, I used visual learning ideas, phrases like turning the other cheek, I got them to write it down, I made sure it became part of their culture, God is loving, I was VERY clear, and they said it back to me, I swear!"
God: well then how do you explain this?! Look at that! See there, in Europe?! What's all that about, if you DID deliver the message we settled on!? How do you explain this?! Huh!!?"
Jesus, blushing and looking cross and puzzled: "I… don't… I'm… I DID! … really very clear, thought they had it, what the, what are they DOING?! … … Are you sure these aren't pagans, mihht they not be, oh My Goshawk, theyre praying, yep, they're definitely Christians, oh my god, in MY name, too, the nerve!!

total war need to make a game to this time period its the only time period missing
