And so, with regret, we mark the passing of a great king.
Our sorrow, however, is but brief, as we await the exploits of Kristian IV. Though consistently unsuccesful in war and though enamoured by expensive building projects, which the nation could ill afford at the time, he is nevertheless remembered as one of Denmarks great kings. May the next player do his utmost to live up to, or indeed surpass, his reputation.
...Come on. Attack Sweden preemptively and screw the BB!

Very well done, DM. Nice job with the American holdings. I am glad that I was, in some little way, able to open up the North American Continent. Sigh, if only I had been as effective in Europe, maybe the wars you had to face would not have been so numerous.
I must also chime in. This "passage" form of writing is most excellent. I hope that the next King can spank those French good. So we are currently at what year? 1588? So 200 some odd years left? I do not wish to sound presumptuous, but has any thought been given to doing this again with another nation? After this is all finished, of course.

Bravo! A truely stellar (or should I say solar) end to to a great series of posts. It was a pleasure to have you on board. The nation seems to be in great shape too, which is a nice bonus. You didn't even saddle Shawng1 with an inheritted war.
What will he do?

H_S: There was a thread not too long ago that began the discussion. I'll go and look it up and give it a little bump.

Well Shawng1. She's all yours. I hope you got the copy of the saved game file alright. I *ahem* didn't *ahem*. Could you please confirm via PM or e-mail. Thanks.

So now it´s time for a truly long reign. shawng has a good position and he has plenty of years to do something with it.
Great ending, DM, and I think that you've done a phenomenal job in holding the country together. I'd like to see those screenshots
Good luck, shawn!

Fantastic job DanielMcCollum - I like your style.
It looks like Christian IV will inherit a much better position than in RL. Bare in mind, he inherited the throne as 11 years old - thus a regency ruled until 1596 when he assumed personal rule.

Yikes!
How sad, I almost had a lump in my throat when read about the death of King Frederik

Let me add my own congratulations to those that precede this. Frederick left Denmark in much better shape than he found it, and has given his successor a solid foundation to build upon. I can only hope I do as well when Christian V ascends to the throne.
Not to sound as if i"m jumping the gun, but should we decide to do something like this again, I think a good nation to paly would be Burgundy. A nice list of monarchs, and we wouldn't have to worry about how they act in real history(not that I based Frederick off of the REAL Frederick II in any way, actually. Couldn't find much info out about him except that he was militant and got int oa nasty war with Russia...thank you Catholic Encyclopedia on the net )
So, has anyone noticed a general trend in the monarchs in this game? Have the multi-players had very distinct playing styles, or have things been pretty constant do you think?

A New Batch of Screenies
Hi all. Since Dan sent the game files to me to pass on to Shawng1, I thought I'd pop 'em open and take a couple screenies from the end of his section (1588). Enjoy!
Eastern Europe (and us)
Western Europe (and us...incl. Iceland)
North American (almost all af our holdings can be seen)
Lastly, here's Central America. You can see our other terrirtory in the west.

Yup, there they all are. We also have three armies in the New World, and two in Germany. Lets see if ol Christian IV can take out those Iriqoise, or if he'll take a more continental view of things.
What?! It wasn't my fault that I lost Skane! I was a victim of circumstance! I swear! A victim of circumstance!
I mean, how was I to know that France wanted to take that province from me? Oh well, I hope that it is retaken, although seeing a more colonial bend to the next king would be nice. Then you could teach those stinkin French some respect!

Yeah the frenchies should respect our fucking authority!!!
Anyway those colonial posetions should bring in enough money to retake the initiative in germany.
Don't feel bad! I conquered Half of the United States, and all I hear is "you didn't get skane!!" Yani Kohani, I swear!!
Seriously though, I tried, but didn't want to provoke a war with France.
Not to worry - we just have to wait until France is hip-deep in a war with the rest of the world, and then DOW them while they are occupied elsewhere. They'll be glad to trade us Skåne in exchange for getting us off their backs!
Strangely enough, I like Danish folk music...
