Fastest Scandinavia formation as Sweden on 2 Jan 1505, 1 year earlier than the current record.
Got lucky to have a 6 admin ruler. Get a further -10% from advisor.
I should have chosen innovative as one of my idea groups to get a likely -5% from increased innovative (pushing the date 1 year earlier), but I only recognized this in about 1490, which is too late.
I tried to grab the -5% from university. That's why I conquered Krakow, fighting Poland, Austria, England, Portugal and 3 German mediums at the same time in the process. But the university disappears after I took the province from Poland.:wacko:
