This looks good so far. I think I may have to mod the ideas so all the values are quadrupled, at least, but I'm not at all disappointed.
Seems nice, I hope that Denmark is going to have a similar protestant event, Called "The count's Feud", if there there is only going to be two different decision buttons to push. They should be called 1, "Fear the black army of Rantzau" and 2, " Die Skipper Clement!! Die!!". I Hope that Sweden not is going to start with cores in Danish heartland. Because that is so dubious that just because the swedish bought/inheirited an non transferable agricultural pawnage, and occupied the area for a few years before getting thrown out again. That should not be enough for a country to have a core on a province. In that case Denmark Should start with cores on all scandinavian provinces.
Torun belonging to Teutonic Order was initially missed when our research betas helped improve the map. Someon pointed this out in the last dev diary so I have fixed the history file, but there hasn't been any time to adjust borders regarding this yet.
Well, Sweden was dirt poor up until the industrial revolution. In Vicky 2 terms Sweden was playing catch up until they where able to be early adopters of the electricity and combustion engine techs
Sweden's rise was a combination of hyper competent rulers using Sweden's backwardness to make sweeping reforms relatively easy combined with disorganized and weak neighbors.
I look foward to crushing the Stockholm seagulls in literally all my games
Regardless, nice update, this game is gonna be epic!

"Dirt poor" is somewhat of an exaggeration since we had virtually monopoly on copper (the only other major producer was Japan).
Will we see a Stockholm bloodbath event perchance?
"My king, the nobles of Sweden are becoming increasingly uppity. I say we invite them to a banquet and make them all a head shorter!"
[What a cunning plan, surely this will not backfire!]
[No, I don't think that's a good idea at all...]
:rofl:
Well, ok. And we were the leading exporter of cannons as well. No events for Walloon immigrants? The EU 2 event for that was hilariously overpowered if I remember correctly
Still, agriculturally dirt poor is still a fitting description I think, and isn't that what tax base mostly represent? Copper and cannon would be mostly production income? I also remember reading that the Baltic and German possessions during some periods contributed something silly like a third of the state revenue (albeit that would probably be money coming from the trade system), which is saying something about the "wealth" of the heartland.
I'm confused.
There was lots of talk about how Sweden was short of manpower, but then 2/7 of their national ideas give them extra manpower. I would have though that bonus manpower was a Russian national idea, and that if you wanted a country to be short of manpower you would avoid giving them any bonus MP through national ideas?

It is
OT
Looks quite nice
The problem with this is that all of Europe, especially northern Europe, looked quite different in these times. So if Holland get to keep their sea, which eventually got drained, Sweden should be significantly slimmer due to Post-glacial rebound. For instance, the city where I reside in now (Umeå) was rebuilt by the sea after the russians burnt it down early in the 1800s. Two hundred years later and a full metric mile separates this city and the sea, so they had to build a coastal town for our port. Same with Sundsvall and many other Swedish towns near the coast.
In a not so distant future, the gulf of Bothnia will become an inland sea.

Russia is being redone like many other regions, it's just not in this screenshot.
Solution: Turn the Balkans into a Wasteland, so people will stop complaining.
(Captain Gars is too nice!)
