Now that the old list by our Hungarian pal is debunked, I am hung over about the lack of Simon Bolivar. He would have made such an awesome addition, kind of wish that list were true.
Much, much better than Canada, for sure...

Her ability would probably work quite well with the noble prize ability if (Sweden gets that one again).I actually feel Kristina is not a bad choice for a more culturally and/or scientifically focused Sweden, the two obvious choices (her father Gustav(us) and Karl XII) being mostly known for their military pursuits. Sure, her Catholic turn and abdication at a relatively young age overshadow much of what she did, but she did have a keen interest in art, science, philosophy, and religion, and wanted Stockholm to be the "Athens of the North". If we must have Sweden in the game (which I don't consider an absolute necessity, Norway is good enough Norse representation in my eyes) I don't mind Kristina leading it.
And that's speaking as a Swede.![]()
Can we get the mountie riding a moose no matter how historically inaccurate it would be?A mountie obviously![]()
Why is that? At least Canada is an actual country . . .Much, much better than Canada, for sure...
Moose? Or Hockey goalie?
Garrison Artillery.If Canada is in there should be only one option for the UU...
About Swedish rulers..
Gustaf Adolph:
- Didnt listen to advice of Oxenstierna, wisest statesman in Europe that time
- Too fat to wear body armor in combat
- Could have ended the Thirty years war by marching into imperial heartlands, instead chose foolishly to engage in combat during a thick mist
- Crazy lust for war and death
Carl XII
- Attacked Russia without proper planning for logistics
- Lost his own personal battle of Stalingrad (in Pultava) that ended Swedish Empire's reign in power
- Escapedd to Turkey instead of honorable seppuku
- Idolised by neo nazis
- Was an absolutist, like Hitler
Queen Kristina
- Got crowned at age 5 - what did you achieve by age 5 ? lol
- Ended Thirty years war even though her councils and marshals wanted to keep going(to make profit)
- Invited top scientists and philosophers like Rene Descartes to Sweden
- killed Rene Descartes
- Chancellor Oxenstierna described her as "not at all like a female person, but brave and clearminded"
- Created three academies, had her own personal chemistry lab
- Expert rider
- Books, films and plays about her
- Killed Peter the Great in combat, avenging his father
Mountie UU and Maple Plantation UI?
I don't know anything about Canada really so apologies if these are terrible/stereotypical suggestions!
If Laurier is leader for Canada, I wonder if there will be an immigration/emigration mechanic? That was what he was most known for from the history classes I remember.
I was under the impression that a Mountie was more of a police/detective than an actual fighting calvaryman.Mountie is the obvious pick but it will not happen as it would have to be a cav replacement like the Rough Rider. I suspect a mech infantry or artillery UU for Canada if Canada actually makes it.
Why is that? At least Canada is an actual country . . .
Mountie UU and Maple Plantation UI?
I don't know anything about Canada really so apologies if these are terrible/stereotypical suggestions!
Well, actually we attacked them.You could have stopped there. Kids, never attack Russia unless you're Mongolia, definitely don't do that in the winter...
Ice Hockey Arena replacing Stadium would be my guess, though it would be super late.Mountie UU and Maple Plantation UI?
