Before I start explaining, I would like to tell you my experience from this game and what you can expect:įirst month or two will be very hard, confusing, and fun at the same time. We want you to feel welcome and therefore I have wrote this tutorial to make your lives on gameranger easier. We want new players to feel comfortable and to have a place where they could learn, ask questions and improve. We are now trying to fix it with this forum. The problem of the community in past years has been that it stopped growing. The community is small but the gameplay has been developed quite a lot during all these years (since 2002.).

Richard Middleton is an independent scholar and was formerly associate professor of American history at Queen's University Belfast.

Middleton reveals how Cornwallis' rewarding of merit, search for economy, and elimination of corruption helped improve the machinery of British government into the nineteenth century. He sought to protect the population of Bengal with a constitution of written laws, insisted on Catholic emancipation in Ireland, and recognized the limitations of British power after the American war. Cornwallis emerges as a reformer who had deep empathy for those under his authority, and was clear about his obligation to govern justly. In Cornwallis: Soldier and Statesman in a Revolutionary World (Yale UP, 2022), Richard Middleton shows that this portrait is far from accurate. His career spanned the American War of Independence, Irish Union, the French Revolutionary Wars, and the building of the Second British Empire in India-and he has long been associated with the unacceptable face of Britain's colonial past. Charles, First Marquis of Cornwallis (1738-1805), was a leading figure in late eighteenth-century Britain.
