Just finished reading it. Wow, Sap, you sure seem to be doing well. You even got a reputation increase in every country over Europe! When will your young general be crowned king? How do you even know?

From a historical/realistic standpoint it would have been very hard for Sweden to hold on to the central provinces of Russia, simply because they were so populous and the culture so alien (different language and religion).
However, it would have been a piece of cake to hold and colonize Kola, Far Karelia, Onega and Archangelsk. Possibly Novgorod and Pskov due to their close proximity to the Swedish proper.
Nevertheless, I would say that the campaign turned out quite realistic, although perhaps Sapura's expansion was a little too quick.
Seeing how it turned out, I am willing to forgive the initial disasters, Sap.

Yeah of course its possible to develop barren provinces. After all, 1/2 of the aim of this game is colonization There are various options e.g. sending in colonists / traders.
Unfortunately the scenario has terminated This particular scenario starts around 1520 and ends about 1575 or so. I was going to invade Denmark, and infact I did (but only to annex Skane) to a degree.
I might be wrong, but didn't Sweden's bid for Baltic supremacy start in earnest from the 1580s or 1590s?
Incidentally, I also support changing Sweden into a playable major power in the Grand Campaign.
