A boring AAR ( ?) : Sweden in peace 1617-1792

[Doomdark]

It is good to see a more peaceful AAR once in a while. A whole century at peace, spent building up trade and infrastructure should have allowed the population to grow nicely as well...

Some questions:

1) What was the name of that conquistador you got?

2) What was your VP rank? It would be interesting to know to which degree peace pays off.

3) Don't you think that the Hansa would have been a perfect ally against Denmark?

Except for Livonia and Kurland, all Baltic bordering provinces are in Swedish hands!

Great work! I am impressed with how you've kept the Muscovites off your back. You have now replaced Brandenburg as the dynamic powerhouse of the 18th century. Just go ahead and annex Denmark...

btw It looks like Denmark loses Jylland quite often, judging from AARs I have read. This annoys me somewhat as that would be very hard to accomplish, it's Danish heartland, and should at least have a nice big chance of revolting. Oh well... guess it's just me being a nationalist... guess we all are somewhere deep down

And what was the difference between Skåne and Jylland? Both were primary parts of the Danish heartland, but if Skåne could be lost so could Jylland have been.

(If Cromwell hadn't gone and died when he did, Jylland would have become british with Norway going to Swedien and the Oresund controlled by England/Sweden jointly,.)

APPLAUSE!

What a sweet screenshot of Scandinavia.

You have achieved everything that Sweden could have realistically accomplished. Good thing that the game ends before the upheavals of the 19th and 20th centuries; holding on to those territories would have been hard to say the least.

Your 'boring' peaceful AAR turned quite violent at the end. It's hard to keep all those nice armies idle, is it not?

Oh, and I love the way you showed Poland your gratitude.
