Swedish independence?
Tough wars there, probably some kind of end to the Union. But a greater Danish empire may grow from it. Good job so far.
Haven't really been following but you are doing great work. Considering that I never thought someone could ever do anything useful with Denmark...
A very nice explanation of the internal developments of this "stronger" union and a equally nice hint at what could best be described as "Christian IV tendencies" in the foreign policy of Christian II.
Too bad about the end of the Dano-Norwegian union, but with Gyldenstierne's alleged support for the Reformation and the obvious dislike for this amongst the Norwegian estates, I'd predict we'll see combat amongst the two powers in this Scandinavian version of the Wars of Religion.
Oh and finally, awesome Shakespearean reference
great work! The explanation is top drawer and the map is very helpful!
very nice description of these events.. I usually run and hide from large blocks of text in AARs but this was very enjoyable to read..
but that being said.. i think there is need of a declaration of war on...
England! haha (me no likey da english ha)

It could be worse, he could be trying to get Flemings and Walloons to work together....talk about IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
Well, I hope I've got you on board. And I guess we'll have to see who has the largest empire come 1820. You're on, mister
It actualy surprises me how low the view and post count of the thread is, it should be much higher.
But I'll keep in touch. It actualy surprises me how low the view and post count of the thread is, it should be much higher.
Probably not enough pictures for the "masses", though you would think it would be higher just with the quality!
Great AAR, although I do wish there were some more pictures so I wouldn't have to visualize everything. I love how you go through and talk about all the politics and complication about titles and claims, as I've always wished the Crusade Kings-esque massive title list was present in EU3... there's something very satisfying about having all the superfluous duchies and counties and claims on there.
My only question is how much effort you put into maintaining relations with Norway in order to inherit it outright. You ruled it in a union for so long - and have appeared to have had plenty of money for a while - that I constantly expected you to have a backstory about the Danish king permanently tying the Norwegian Crown to that of Denmark-Sweden. I understand that Sweden is harder to inherit because of their larger armies and higher bribe cost, but in my Kalmar Union game Norway was pretty easy to absorb. Did you not send them gifts to keep the relations at 200?
Anyway, thanks for the AAR and keep up the good work!
"coy lads were all crazy with clubs"
That adequately describes the one Scandinavian person I know... :rofl:
Nice work, sir!
did i read correctly.. there are hints towards government reform more drastic then replacing one king with another?!
