SWE and NOR had the same monarch. SWE didn't even exist in the original WATKABAOI and as it is now, it is very easy at the start. In fact, I was considering splitting Scandinavian cultures.
BB's rivals POL and HAB have 8 land. Alternatively we can lock landsliders.
Gold inflation evens for all. If any other nation than SPA annexes Mexico or Peru, there is no reason he shouldn't get the inflation events.
Why not split german cultures them, it's 50+ in europe alone.
We've lately used a formula for goldinflation instead of event, since all gold not only the mexican should give inflation.
I believe it was something like each 100 goldincome in stats gave +0,50% inflation or something like that. That'll give all nation that have goldincome the inflation in e.i. 1575 and 1650.
And if you read on wikipidea, i recon you should rather place Norway as a swedish vassel in 1337.
Magnus IV Eriksson of Sweden, also Magnus VII of Norway was king of Sweden (spring 1316 – 1 December 1374), Norway, and Terra Scania, and was the son of Duke Erik Magnusson of Sweden and Ingeborg, a daughter of Haakon V of Norway. He has also vindictively been called Magnus Smek (English equivalent: Magnus the Caresser').
Referring to Magnus Eriksson as Magnus II is inaccurate. The Swedish Royal Court officially lists three Swedish kings before him by the name.
Magnus was elected king of Sweden on 8 July 1319, and acclaimed as hereditary king of Norway at the thing of Haugathing in Tønsberg in August the same year. Under the Regencies of his Grandmother Queen Helvig and his Mother Duchess Ingeborg the countries were ruled by Knut Jonsson and Erling Vidkunsson.
Magnus was declared to have come of age at 15 in 1331. This caused resistance in Norway, where a statute from 1302 made clear that kings came of age at the age of 20, and a rising by Erling Vidkunsson and other Norwegian nobles ensued. In 1333, the rebels submitted to king Magnus.
In 1332 the king of Denmark, Christopher II, died as a "king without a country" after he and his older brother and predecessor had pawned Denmark piece by piece. King Magnus took advantage of his neighbour's distress, redeeming the pawn for the eastern Danish provinces for a huge amount of silver, and thus became ruler also of Terra Scania.
On 21 July 1336 Magnus was crowned king of both Norway and Sweden in Stockholm.
