Skip this part if you are tired of reading about the overpowered Swedes, but if you do read this part, bear in mind that i'm a Dane
I have noticed that Sweden has a tendency of not only breaking the Kalmar union to early, but also of beating the hell out of Denmark within the first 150 years of the game. This is NOT very historical, since Sweden where a much poorer country than Denmark was until around 1600. Sweden should somehow be weaker in the earlier stages of the game. The fact that Sweden almost always (in every game ive had since the 1.05 patch) conguers Norway before they should even have amassed enough strenght to conquer Skåne, and even before 1600. This is very anoying, I am aware that Sweden must eventually beat Denmark, but why must it be this early, I mean Brandenburg doesent form a united Germany in 1700, why should Sweden form a united Scandinavia in 1600?
Tordenskjold?
I am also wondering why Peter Wessel aka Tordenskjold has the 4/3/3 stats. To my knowledge he earned the name Tordenskjold because he was a brilliant naval admiral. Firepower and shock value 3 is good, but not excelent! Its is dissapointing to see that the gretest naval hero of Norway and Denmark is'nt the best naval leader at Denmark disposal, also it is disapointing that he is no more than mediocre in EU II. Another thing that puzzles me is that his movement is 4. To my recollection he had problems controlling the larger ships, and commanded his fleet from a smaller vessel (This I am not 100% sure of). What ever the entire thruth of the matter is, does it not seem a bit strange that he is a better navigator than fighter in the game, when history tells us otherwise? I would propose that he where a 2/4/4 instead of a 4/3/3! If you've got any comments I'd like to her them!
(My sacking of the scandinavian balance is not a comment on the game as a whole, indact i find it the best strategic game ever. However it does make you wonder that Sweden always becomes the ruler of Scandinavia when the creators of the game is Swedish! Had I (and I have'nt even got the skills) made the game the Kalmar union might have a tendency of being permanent)
