between what year does the game take place?

Pick all the nits you care to, guys.

Anyways, to the OP: please notice that the game conviently ends just before Napoleon enters the building (don't nitpick this!). It's a likely possibility we'll be seeing that greasy-haired Corsican in a Napoleonic expansion or something extending even further. Who knows?

Not to pick too many nits, but didn't the Egyptian Expedition take place in 1798?
