Sweden has a very large population and Cuiv said that the Scandinavian colonies in South America were very populated. At the same time both the navy and army are smaller than the UK, which never favored land power in any way while the Swedish component of the SU did. Cuiv also said that Scandinavia was a constant competitor of the UK and Dutch on the seas, which means that it should have a navy at least comparable to the British and Dutch ones, if not quite on the same level.

Note. I did not go fully by Cuiv's design. I took liberty. Your Navy is similar in size and quite large. Britain needs a larger military as it holds large territories in continental Europe. Which would make sense. They don't just need ships to defend themselves at this point. Sweden's population even today is only 9 Million. So don't get to me on the population. 1/9th of the population can't be soldiers.

@ Thomander: I will edit the rules to be 2 divisions per EP. Like in LuckNES 2.

So you are going to ignore the alt hist writer's design and you are not going to listen to criticism? How...egotistical. Cuiv wrote the TL, so like every other Mod that does someone else's alt hist you should follow her design. As for the UK, all they control is Brittany and a small enclave in Normandy, where as Scandinavia controls all of, well, Scandinavia with long borders in both Germany and Finland and a long history of land wars as compared to the British history which disfavors land based military power.

She never officially wrote anything. She just designed the map and thought it would be a good POD. Your military is good. You are not out matched. Besides you can easily catch up. I can't have everyone being overly powerful.

Israelite9191 · May 27, 2007

While I still feel that you way overbalanced in favor of the British and a few nations, I will not push the issue, as you seem totally opposed to any criticism and any possible rebalancing.

OTL Scandinavia had a large army because they didn't hav ethe need for a large navy. It's expensive to support both a large navy and army (like in this time line). If you compare the relative sizes of both empire, the ratio of land owned to army/navy size isn't that far off.

I do not believe the British are overly powered. You are looking at it from a 1 on 1 perspective. An Alliance would win hands down. Most of the nations in Western Europe can take on Britain.

Still I would rather have Dach play them if you don't mind. Bulgaria is strong to.

I hereby launch a civil war with Germanicus over the Roman Empire.

Now I am confused... I claimed the Byzantine Empire on March 15... Dach posted the above message 9 days later. His first post in the whole thread it seems.

Nonetheless, I will reserve the Ottoman Empire and wait for Dach to respond whether he wants it or not.

Speaking of population, considering how this is pre-industrial revolution where the world's population isn't that large period, maybe the army increases shouldn't be 5 divisions, especially considering how the numbers we're starting with are relatively small anyway?

I agree. I think Harlequin's system should be used.

And the rest. Thanks to Kal'Thzar for the non European nations.

Spoiler Rest of Stats :
