Can't say I'd blame you - if I were programming such games I'd start with Alberta every time
p.s. I stand by my statement - Sweden was a no account backwater in the 19th century
Skåne probably has a higher population density than jutland but jutland has 3-4 provinces...
Seems very wierd to me.
IMO it would be better to try to keep all provinces similar in size not value.
Yes.
Of which most would be worthless.
But since the defence of sweden was based around that we have room to retreat i think it would be good to have a decent number of provinces.
Have the same objections to HoI.
Norway has more provinces than Sweden...
Normaly it takes ~3-4 days to take the whole of Sweden when it in real life would have taken 3-4 weeks at least.
Just some food for thought i think.
But would that extend to North America? I just recently compaed the areas, and my beloved home province of Alberta actually covers more area than all of France. Would you agree to giving Alberta 20-30 provinces?
I wouldnt mind if California was 30-40 provinces.
..but we have to use common sense. I'm sure we'd all love to see our homelands covered in many provinces, but we must be fair to all!
So, sorry but no Skane.

Even now, with a Billion and a Half provinces in Europe, I bet there will still be no Liechtenstein
Are we going to get screenies as regularly as we did in HOI or EU2, or more? Just curious if we get to drool at the process of making the game often.

Actually, Sweden did industrialize rather quickly during the 19th century, and their welfare laws became rolemodel for many other states, including Bismarck's welfare laws.

Yep, like Canada and the US.
Actually, until the Bessemer process was perfected Sweden was Britain's major source of high-grade steel ...

Sorry Sytass, it's the other way around. Birsmarck's became the model for the Scandinavian welfare states because the Scandinavian countries became Prussian clones during the 19th Century.
Sweden is Prussia as it might have been ...
Yes.
However i would prefer that there were 2 maps.
One economic with the provinces and one military with subprovinces that are much smaller.
That could make the administrative provinces large but the military ones that affect conquest speed small and that would make it much harder and take much longer to conquer a nation.

We industrialized late but we had compulsory schools early.
Sweden wasn't fully industrialized until the turn of the century if even then.
That is a great idea. IMHO the ideal setting would be hexes for military operations and larger economic districts to handle the economy/governing. Each district would have several keypoints, conquest of which would give control over that district. Since we won't see hexes in Vic (or will we, pleeeease?), the military map could have small, geographically defined provinces, size of which would be more or less uniform everywhere. Then Alberta, for example, would be one economic entity and still retain it´s real geographical size.
