## Overview

A militarized nation, the Paraguayans has an array of units, from their Koyguas to the Primeiro de Lineas and the Aca Ybotys, all are ready to go to war. As their units are cannon fodders, the Paraguayans make up this disadvantage by having several cards that increase their Primeiros and Aca Ybotys hitpoints and attacks. The Paraguayans also have some unique mercernaries cards that allow them to access to grenadier units, such as the Legion Paraguaya.

## History

Paraguay overthrew the local Spanish administration on May 15, 1811. After its independence, Paraguay had almost no relations at all with its neighbour countries. In 1864, the Paraguayan War, also known as War of the Triple Alliance, began. Paraguay fought against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, and was overwhelmingly defeated in 1870 after five years of the bloodiest war in South America. The Paraguayan population was decimated after the war, having only about 28,000 adult males. Paraguay also suffered extensive territorial losses to both Brazil and Argentina.

The leader of the Paraguayans is Solano Lopez. Solano was made Brigadier General of the Paraguayan Army by his father at the age of 18, in 1844. He was later sent as minister plenipotentiary to the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, and spent a year and a half in Europe. He purchased large quantities of arms and military supplies, together with several steamers, and organized a project for building a railroad and establishing a French colony in Paraguay. He also became infatuated with the empire of Napoleon III and with Napoleon Bonaparte himself.
