Home sweet home! Now I can write my update. This one covers only a decade though.
1633:
We took a loan to build our first weapon factory in... Lappland! Why? The king claimed that Lappland is a precious iron mine, and thus a factory would be effective there for processing AND using the iron. Ironic, eh?
1636-1638:
War! The Austrians declared war on Russia and everyone joined in, so we had to, as well. This was an interesting war, too. Brandenburg betrayed us! This meant that the Bohemian-Brandenburger front was closed. But those wily Habsburg expansionists can always think of something:
1636, almost the whole year: Spain, an Austrian ally, pesters us with attacks constantly. The only great loss is in Oldenburg (7000 men and a few cannons) though. Our Dutch allies suffer greatly, as the Austrians use their Imperial rights to march into their French possessions, and through that, into Holland!
1636 December-1637 October: Sieges are going well, for the enemy of course. We dare not interfere in this slaughter, the Austrians are just as advanced as us and there are more of them. Call us coward if you will, but victory isn't possible here. I just try to get out of the damn war.
1638 March: We finally find peace! Though later, Austrian gains are two provinces and money, one of the gains is Holland and the city of Amsterdam itself. The Dutch shouldn't have chosen Hague as the capital in the first place.
1640:
Random Naval Manufactory in-Finnmark? One of my crappiest mainland provinces, but so be it.
1642:
Brandenburg is annexed! Now we can announce ourselves Germany. All the important provinces are in our control. The next target shall be the filthy Habsburg neighbor. We shall rain on them with things more dangerous than even muskets.

Screenie!

An excellent empire there. I look forward to seeing those damned Austrian getting hammered.
Thanks! It really seems I'm chasing my tail. One time I make the Austrian Empire, and then I am killing the Habsburgs. LOL!
Very impressive empire there, now it is time to march on them evil Austrians and show them who rules in Germany. The glorious power of Denmark will march into Vienna and force the Kaiser to flee 
Though I won't whack any Ösis in this episode, somebody will get hammered...
1645:
Our wise king decrees that our next target is not a German state but Prussia. This could be a good choice, seeing how it has three good provinces. (the two it comes with plus Kurland)
Thus our charm offensive starts by recruiting them to our alliance. It's better than the alliance they had before... come on, the English and the Incas???
1648:
Long live the new king! Frederik III steps on the throne. Christian IV got killed just before the new war started. This war was originally declared upon Prussia by Sweden, but such an offense we got, it'd have been vile treachery to refuse the call of arms!!! This war is indeed one of the best Denmark has lived so far. Here's the timeline.
1648 October-1649 June: This is the period we fight in. After Swedish troops troop into Russia, we use our Scandinavian army to get Västergötland (fetch! Good dog!), while we ship an army to Stockholm from Europe, led by a nice general Hannibal Sehested (3/3/5)!!!!!! The Swedes were mostly beaten on the Russian front, and the remainders couldn't arrive before I captured both and demanded Västergötland.
1649 July-1650 November: Meanwhile, Russia and Sweden were quite equal. This gave ample time for Prussia to wreak havoc, and of course, not a single Swedish musketeer set foot on Prussia's mainland.
1651 March: Humiliating... the Swedes and Prussia sign a peace. In this, Tavastland and Nyland, plus 250 ducats are given to Prussia. Russia got nothing, but Sweden did get something... (a can o' whupass.) The former member of the Kalmar Union was now a weak power, which could, with a little luck, be divided among the members of the alliance.
1656-8:
A Spanish-French war starts. Frederik III follows the news with interest. The Spanish must have been very successful from their recent victories against the Incas, as they did manage to get the two Irish provinces. It can be a clever plan, as this has prevented the French from annexing their Irish vassals later. (Am I correct in that you need a neighbouring province to diploannex?)
The best news is, however, that Prussia agreed to become our vassals! They surely do recognise the main power on their western border.
Plus we got the pic. You can notice some interesting things here. Turkey's capital is Bagdad because Constantinople was taken by Greeks in the revolution that is the nightmare of a Turkish Thrace. The Habsburgs haven't expanded any more, and Sweden is in chaos.

Good to get Prussia well on the way to becoming your lands. I've never seen Turkey with a capital in Iraq before.
Good work by Prussia agreeing to become your vassals, also seems you did very well against the Swedish, superb. I was also very glad to see Hannibal Sehested, a Norwegian general do well for the benefit of the empire
1658:
Russian expansion is HUGE! They have just recently taken 2 new provinces from Poland. They're actually rumored to take up a new name, with their allies, apparently called "The Soviet Union". These damn Unions, they all steal from our Kalmar Union.
1662:
Our technologies are also huge. Just as the new year dawns, along with Austria, we research a new tool. We named them "Bladed Guns" but those other Germans have came up with some fancy name... Bayonet, was it? Who needs these names? But now, we also learned how to construct a mighty fortress complex. If this goes on, we will be the lead nation of Northern Europe real soon!
Our colonists are also planning a new expedition. An explorer, Sehested, showed up, offering to explore new lands. But where? Swedish rutters allow us to know the whole world! (they were stolen during the war of Prussia) So, as he claims to sail very speedily, he is sent with 10 ships and a handful of cavalry to the possibly last reachable gold mine... Yukon. Going around the whole American continent of course. After many attempts, we set up a colony. Sehested is indeed fast though, he manages to go there and back without the loss of a single ship! (In the end of this chronicle part, Yukon is still not a colonial city.)
1666-1672:
Mainly an eventless period. For first, Russia conquers Astrakhan. Then a big event comes in 1669: Prussia manages to submit for the first attempt! We inherit six provinces: Kurland, Memel, the capital East Prussia, the two ex-Swede provinces Nyland and Tavastland, and a province they captured during the anti-Astrakhan+Crimea war: I think, it was Kouban (who cares anyway? We let it revolt.) In 1670, Christian V is crowned! Long live the new king! Saxony is recruited into our alliance, though not for absorbing them, for a change. (They have a vassal, Thuringia. I didn't notice that because of a mistake. Next time our alliance expires, they will be booted.)
1673:
All the pieces are now in place! A 36,000 man army, led personally by the king, is standing in Västergötland. Armies are standing near Poland. It's now time to eliminate the traitor of the ex-Kalmar Union! This war is possibly the most remembered war of Danish history so far. There is a very decorated timeline of it in the Royal Palace, though only the normal version can be written here:
1673 September: We declare war. Our ex-Prussian armies in Sweden march into Finland, our anti-Polish army invades, and finally, our main army marches into Bergslagen. The resistance is led by a capable leader, but technology is on our side. New troops are constantly recruited in a conscription center made in Jylland.
1673 October-1676 April: Poland is already at peace at this time. The war with them was short, and only an army needed to be eliminated before they agreed upon that peace. The Dutch have invaded and taken over the siege of Finland. They had nothing to do though with it, so they became quite passive. Russia made peace in '76 for some money, no gains for 'em then. Saxony contributed a few troops to the Polish war but couldn't do much more and wasn't expected to. Karl Gustav X marches through our northern provinces, but he only has a cannon-only army so he is occasionally routed by a cavalry squad until he falls below the required cannon limit.
1677 November: Sweden no longer has a capable defense. Their last peace offer was offering us Bergslagen, Gästrikland and Västerbotten... but is that enough? Nay!
1678 February: Finally the sieges ended. Stockholm was occupied, and thus Sweden was officially split up. Well, not much of a splitup, really. Finland went to the Dutch, and the rest was ours. CELEBRATE! OUR ARCH ENEMY IS DEAD! Now the dream of that long-forgotten king of the 15th century can finally become true! The only one to stop us now is Russia. Soviet Union... pah!
(OOC: I noticed how often I skip between Past and Present. Nevermind that.)
And now here's your pic. No more of that dark blue! HA! There are some other changes, but I'll leave them to you to discover. Except one, Crimea actually captured Al Kharam from Turkey. (Arabian Peninsula, dark brown color) Oh, and as a clarification, Sibir does exist, the shades of brown are very similar though.

Yeah, the evil Swedish have been punished. Now Denmark rules in Northern-Europe, great work
Great you a really in control of Northern Europe now. Do you think Russia would be a threat if it comes down to fighting them? I think you should aim to own every province on the Baltic.
Awesome work! I always liked playing in Northern Europe, especially with the Hanseatic League, because it's not easy 'breaking out' of that area. I found myself becoming a fortified empire much like where your lands are right now - and i wasn't all that interested in the outside world. Keep it up!
Thanks for the compliments! Well, as for some answers:
Lord E: I rule much of Northern Europe, but I think that if I'd want to rule Scandinavia, Russia will have to be removed. And that might be more of a pain than the Swedish were.
DoW: I think they will be very dangerous. They often defeated the Swedes in open combat, when they (the Swedish) had like 50000 armies and not a few bands of recruits.
And now for another decade+a few years:
1680:
Our King realised very well that the newly acquired lands need to be fortified, both against rebels and would-be invaders. Thus, a fortification campaign started. This resulted in well-built stone fortresses (Medium) in every province that could possibly rebel.
1682-83:
The Dutch declared war on France! Though the French had a wide network of allies, no attacks came during the war. Maybe it's because Denmark is too powerful for them, or they just needed men for the Dutch front?
According to the Dutch, they had an easy job plowing through the fortress complexes in Calais and Picardie, thanks to the excellent leadership of Holland. By the end of the war, they controlled these two provinces and Paris (The Dutch must really rock. They assaulted and defeated a FRICKING LEVEL 5 FORTRESS!!!) and thus forced the French to pass over control of the former two areas to them. With this, they greatly recovered from the loss against Habsburgs several decades ago.
1684:
After years of colonisation, Yukon is finally a colonial city! This will surely result in an excellent revenue increase. The gold mines are now fully operational, and the harsh, many months long winter no longer threatens anyone (as opposed to when it was not yet developed, it took many thousand lives among the ranks of the cavalry)
1685-91:
The rest of this period passed with several events. Russia attacked Crimea, and almost annexed it (a far-away province, Al Kharam, and the Russian inability to rech the province saved Crimea's skin). Lugansk and Kalmuk are in Russian hands now, though. Crimea's ally Persia also lost Azerbadzjan and Kars. Russia is surely the most powerful country now, continentally. We'd better be friends with them for now. (Although if I'd ever want to command them, I shouldn't wait much. Around 1760-70, Russia gets Alexandr Souwarov, who can basically wipe a country off the face of Earth.)
For other news, France showed how weak their country is by losing against the Savoy Duchy. Lyonnais was under control of the country connecting France and Italy now. Mecklemburg was then finally evolved into a full-fledged naval base by having an even greater (level 4) fortress and a naval manufactory constructed there. As for the diplomatical area, we managed to get Hungary into our alliance-we can't and won't diplomatically absorb them, but they're a nice ally against an actual military threat from Habsburgs or Polish invaders.
---
Picture now! Out of character, I can easily say Europe is screwed up. Universally. (pun intended) I've almost never seen France so weak and Spain so strong in Europe.

The French really sounds like they are getting kicked around by anyone. Good work by the Dutch. Also a strong and impressive Spain there, when you have finished taking on the evil Austrian maybe you should move against the French, they seem like kind of an easy target. The Russians are indeed strong and dangerous, and I think for now you should keep good relations with them, you have the most important parts of Scandinavia after all. Leave Finland to the Russians
Good work

I am thinking the reverse... launch a surprise (and devastating) assault on Russia. Turn Finland into a battleground.

I think you are over-estimating their power. Russia rarely gets into top gear in any of the games i have played (even when i was playing as them). I think you might want to try a 'test' war with them to see how they really perform (against you).

You should consider, for you next AAR, running my AI enhancement. It does seem to balance out situations like this occuring. To be honest though... France doesn't look too weak, nor Spain too strong... mind you, considering what year it is - it is definitely very odd.

Russia really is quite a monster. They and the OE must be having some big wars. For your expansion those minors in Germany look tempting but getting there will be a race with the Habsburgs. Is Poland a possibility to snap up?
Languish:
Well, one thing is right about this. I have technology on my side basically. Russia's strength lies in numbers. I often see them strong, and weak, but now they seem to be especially strong... the strongest they were though when they made a modern-day Russia, in one of my HO games. (I like doing HO games when I wanna relax)
Russia's weakness seems to be lying in forts, or rather the lack of them. I could find several places with no forts (Kola, Far Karelia), and those that are developed still often have only small (some Baltic provinces, Österbotten). And of course, there is the fact that Sibir is still alive and kicking. This is a clear deficiency of the AI: it makes peace usually after the capital is captured, for some gold, and thus it can often miss a very good opportunity. In this case, access to the Siberian corridor, furs and gold.
DoW:
Germany is locked right now. Saxony has Thuringia as a vassal right now. This means I cannot vassalise them, which leads to that I cannot diploannex them either. Hessen is -200 in relations with me, though it has no vassals (but it almost grabbed The Palatinat). And military expansion into Germany would directly lead to BB wars, as attacking Protestant states without reason is bad in the long run. Austria would be my closest bet, but that war would need careful planning, as they seem to be perfectly alright in keeping their conquered provinces.

Well, I just got up a new update. This update is gonna cover a bit less than 2 decades.
1695:
Saxony just took a great step! They finally annexed their long-time vassal, Thuringia. Seeing as Saxony would be a capable partner, King Christian V invited them to the Alliance. More like capable subjects?
1699-1701:
Long live the new king! Frederik IV is crowned as our new king. He inherited a task, to vassalise the Saxon neighbors. In 1701, this happens. These vassalisations are getting pretty regular.
1706:
France and Spain just clashed. These warmongering states... but at least the balance of power went a bit more to equal, as France greatly recovered by taking two provinces one year later.
1708:
Finally! The Swedish nationalists realised they won't succeed, and finally stopped revolting. This allowed us to construct a weapons manufactory in our only copper-producing province, Bergslagen. (Lappland makes Iron)
Also, in Wabana, the fishers got to a strange fate. It started with Russian ships approaching Newfoundland (This happened ingame, ???) . The Russians apparently brought Yetis to exterminate native presence but they horribly failed, as the Yetis wrecked the Russian ships and then went on shore in Wabana. They took many fishermen lives before they could be stopped. This led to a lack of food in Wabana and thus the demand increased for it, bringing in a hefty sum to the state. (+706)
Pictures:
1. Colonial empire. Danish colonies centre around the north, and the northeast, except a big chunk that is not yet populated. Dutch colonised around the Great lakes, the rest is TP. Spain dominates everything in Middle and South America. The English set up colonies around the lakes too, but not much.
2. Europe.
3. A mess known as Middle East, Asia Minor and the Arabian Peninsula.
