That's what's left of Scotland.

As for invading England, I'd say go for it, as Sweden you're the successors to the Vikings, recreate the Norse kingdoms on Britain's north east coast!


That's exactly what I thought too. So I landed 90,000 troops near Glasgow and proceeded to siege down Great Britain. The Royal Navy was strong, but we were stronger. And now there's no Royal Navy. I don't know if you've ever been Reformed, but Fervor system lets the player choose between three bonuses...

-- Trade, for 10% power and steering
-- Stability, for -2 Unrest and +1 Dip Rep
-- War, for +15% army and navy morale

So for any wars that won't be a walkover I choose to run the war bonus. And England had nothing really to boost their army and the land battles were fought with my army at 9 morale and theirs at 4 morale. I can't recall ever having an advantage like that over another western nation.

In the end I took all of the starting Scottish provinces, and if it weren't for Scotland still having that one little island, I would have released them and saved the admin points. I forced England to release Wales and quickly made them my vassal with the aim of feeding English provinces if they will take them. I don't know if there will be time remaining to take the rest of England and Ireland, but we will try.


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
