Scenario:
The Great Power Era. Agenda:
Baltic Sea Dominion. Info:
The Swedish Empire refers to the Kingdom of Sweden between 1561 (after the Swedish conquest of Estonia) and 1721 (when Sweden officially ceded large areas in current south-eastern Finland to the emerging great power of Russia). During this time, Sweden was one of the great European powers. In Swedish, the period is called Stormaktstiden, literally meaning "the Great Power Era". the beginning is then often taken as 1611 (when Gustavus Adolphus ascended to the throne) and the end as 1718 (death of Charles XII and end of most fighting in Great Northern War). To the increase in political power, most notably by becoming one of the two guarantee powers for the Peace of Westphalia, was added an increase of territory that allowed near complete realization of the Dominium Maris Baltici concept.
unfortunately I am cursed with good ideas and zero programming / modding knowdegle (long past are the times when editing a .txt file would grant you a mod). My only hope is for modders to like my ideas and incorporate them to their own.
Or are negotiations not expressed here?
