the finnish provinces will be easily taken by the swedish forces also the kola peninsula then we will establish forts at the finnish russian border and there we will wait and defend in the end the russians will just have to accept that they are losing voila!
I probably won't be playing multimplayer, but here is my American strategy.
As the U.S. I would make fight Mexico historically annex Texas and the rest of the west. I would also demand the whole of the Oregon territory from Britain and fight over it if need be. I would try to limit the war to the territory if at all possible. If not possible I would attempt to seize Montreal and set up an independent Quebec. I would also go after Jamaica, Bermuda and the Bahamas. When the Civil War rolls around I'ld crush the rebels in two years. I'ld make sure to buy Alaska and annex Hawaii. I'll start a war with Spain at a time of my chossing. I'ld set up an idependent Phillipines, garuntee it's independence and set up naval bases there. I will annex Cuba and Puerto Rico, and hopefully add them as states. Thus turning the Carribean into an American pond. I will dig the Panama canal and carve out vast spheres of interest in Latin America. And of course I would industrialize to my full potential, give women the vote and protect the rights of the freed slaves.

HAH obviously they are far behind in technological advancements! Sweden will achieve this in 1850 by the latest and will have colonized mars by 1905!
How is it ambitous! I just want British Columbia. If the British don't want to let go too bad, I'll take what I can get in the ensuing war. But I'm not going out of my way to conquer all of Canada. And the Spanish American war scenatio is plausible. As are the spheres of interst in Latin America.
"THERE ARE NO RUSSIANS IN STOCKHOLM! I triple guarantee you! You have come too far from reality! We will beat them with shoes!"
Actually, Paradox is likely to 'bless' Sweden with uncanny strength. They always seemed to take Norway and the northwestern quarter of Russia straight to Novgorod in my games...
too bad sweden has been plauged by the social democrats and the evil persson regime for so long otherwise we woul've been a great power long ago...
knock, knock...
*a nurse enters a room in psychiatric hospital no. 4*
"How are we feeling today, Mr. Azid?"
"World conquest! World conquest! Sweden will RULE THE WORLD!!!! Mwuahahaha!"
"Ah, well. Not that nonsense again. Here are your pills, Mr. Azid."
*Azid opens his mouth and the nurse gives him two yellow pills*
"It's time for you to rest now, Mr. Azid."
"Yes, time.... to.... rest.... and.... dream.... about..."
*Azid jumps up, scaring the poor nurse to death*
".... WORLD CONQUEST BY SVERIGE!"
*After this last ejaculation of complete and utter nonsense, Azid turns around in bed and slowly leaves for the land where he feels at home. The nurse leaves the room and bumbs in to a doctor in the hall.*
"How was Mr. Azid today?"
"A basket case, even worse than normal. Nothing to be done. Had he been a dog he'd already been put out of his misery a long time ago..."

lol, poor azid.
I think it is just becoz they're swedish so they know swedish history very well and the strengths and weaknesses of their home country best.
So I think those little details added up gave sweden a lil boost in EU2. Its difficolt because on one hand you don't want Sweden to be a backwater poor nation but you dont want it to be overly rich.
It is hard to simulate the success Sweden had 1420-1820 because in EU2 most power and success is achieved with money.

I was willing to let it go, but since you have given me casus belli
You spoke of seizing carribean islands, washington, making quebec a free state, an american lake
crushing the southern rebels in 2 years... That is a very ambitious plan. Plus you plan to take Spain on!
But why won't you take advantage of MP? I can tell you its 10x better than SP
EDIT: and I said they were ambitious, not over ambitious.
I didn't speak of seizing Wahington, I spoke of seizing British Columbia What's so big and bad about Spain?

Because his US will get smacked down if he tries to do many of the things he says he's going to do.Originally posted by Jaron

Ah, Spain
Sorry, but in the XIX century we were too busy fighting (in order) Revolutionary France, GB, Portugal, Napoleon, ourselves (several times, three Carlist wars), Morocco, and Cuban rebels to fix the armada on time for 1898. But, ah, in Victoria it will be a different story... I mean, I don't think the AI could do worse...

I could do it, I just don't have access to ten friends, computers, LAN connections.
As long as you have a decent computer, a 56k and an hour or two to kill you can find an MP game. Check out the MP forums for EU2 if you've got it, or HoI even. I am sure Victoria will have its own and I'd be honored to crush you Timmy.
