But the achievement doesn't say "start in the grand campaign" so I guess you can start at the peak of swedish power (making it quite easy).
What exactly would that be? 1500s with Gustav Vasa?

I've done it in 1522. It'd be faster if it wasn't for:
- Cascading alliances. One minor DoWs me... and a month later I am fighting all my neighbours.
- Formal Request and my target lands costantly switching hands to the toughest country on the map
- Spontaneous DoWs by France and Burgundy. They had no core, no CB at all and yet they decided to beat me up three times.
- Muscowy being allied and friends with Novgorod after they annexed the hordes together. Haven't seen that before.
- Hansa being vassalized by the GB and in general GB messing around with them first as allies and then enemies.
- I decided to not become the HRE but I think I should have started by vassalizing a couple electors.
It's a very tedious experience and the end effect is not really strong strategically having weak borders on all frontiers and antagonized all neighbours. The whole idea of conquering everything around the Baltics was silly. ;-) I think Sweden shouldn't be played like this at all.
Now, any tips for Norwegian wood?
