1764. The Russian Empire. Catherine II has recently become an absolute sovereign. The former emperor—and her husband—unexpectedly “died” from hemorrhoidal colic. The son is kept away from power in advance, so the country won’t be shaken by unnecessary conspiracies and intrigues of aristocratic factions. Despite the shameful separate peace with Peter III, the country won the Seven Years’ War. Russia is at the zenith of glory and might. And this is only the beginning of the future brilliant reign of a once modest German princess. At least that’s what they think in Europe. A new round of intrigue begins—one aimed at pulling such a formidable power to their side. But then, something goes wrong. I’ll try not to portray an all-knowing “master-molder/unstoppable ass-kicker who wins with one удар,” but a more credible hero. No rols will do—because this is an AI. Still, the “progressor” approach must be reasonable and correspond to the technical development of the era.
