Maria stars in this one as Prussia's primary antagonist.

Without Maria, one wonders how less effective opposition to Frederick would have been.

This series of games does look interesting, but the current proposed map looks a little bland. This would be my No.1 choice of the 4 currently in preparation.

Well, at least the Queen (Victoria) is given some recognition in the title.

Victoria both provides the Zenith of The British Empire and the beginning of it decline....the Colonial Wars and their brutality would eat into the British Morality they though they had...momentum would keep it going until at least 1956, when Anthony Eden's experiment with the Suez Crisis would show the world it was not what it was.

No, not really. It's a fairly simple straightforward wargame, no chasing merchants around or committing bigamy...

No one needs to cover up the fact that the reason for the reformation in England was the needs of a horny King seeking a male heir...which he ironically did not get.

Nitpick for the original poster: Margaret is a Lancastrian.

There may in fact be a female head of household represented by a noble family card at some point in the game!

When the Spanish laid seige to the city of Haarlem, legendary Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselear lead a troop of woman fighting of the assault by pooring cooking water and oil on Spanish heads. And what she got in repayment was to have her first name used as a pejorative for a 'manly' woman. Histrory ain't fair.

Anyway, here is a lovely contemporary portrait of her:
