Alright. Now what shall Sweden do? Will it invade, start a Continental System-esque trade embargo? Who knows? In the meantime, a fire in Northland (the long strip of land in Norway) mildly damages Northland, but increases temperatures and boosts the area’s agricultural and urbanizational value as a result of higher temperatures, improving Norway’s economy as a whole and giving it more money to use on its armies.

Sweden makes progress into Jutland, but Denmark gets support from Poland-Lithuania, allowing it to push Sweden out for the most part, but Sweden ultimately comes out on top. Since I can’t make a map for the time being, the peace deal is that Denmark is forced to give up 400K dollars worth of grains and 50K in gold; Sweden is much more lenient to P-L, only demanding 25000 firearms as reparations (the deal is decided by each side’s nobles).

Correction: apparently I CAN make maps despite being on mobile!!

As such, the current map is:

Sweden annexes the northernmost part of Denmark and the Lithuanian coast.

I don’t think you’re taking this seriously. For one thing, this takes place in ~1850. Therefore, lasers don’t even exist.

Denmark increases its army to around 500k. We begin amassing our funds to make cannons and forts. Our forts will have around 10 - 20 cannons each and will hold about a thousand soldiers. We begin making iron ships as part of our navy by using plate iron.

By the way, newcomers, even if your hoped-for country is taken, you can still join it as nobility, chiming in with your opinion on what your country’s leader should do or negotiate trade policies and other foreign issues with other nobility or leaders.

We begin using telescopes on powerful rifles, making them what we call “snipers” in the modern world. The snipers are used on the around 4th lines, sniping enemy troops. We take back our northern area with our navy and our snipers. (Still testing.)

We send small ships to Sweden’s north coast, loaded with troops, and landing at night, and begin to squeeze them in. We block off Sweden’s routes with us. (All roads, mountain, canyon, whatever.)

Huffle’s expedition is partially successful, but unfortunately marred by the fact that the flintlocks- rifles in their modern form did not begin appearing until the 1700s -were finicky at best as mounts for the scopes and thus actually lowered Danish accuracy in battle, but Denmark’s army is able to secure the tip of Jutland and even annex Scania with the help of its navy, at the cost of being very expensive in terms of naval repair (Sweden’s powerful navy inflicted heavy damage and denting to Danish plate armor, not to mention rust).

We begin using paint to cover the hulls of our ships, therefore reducing rust. We begin using lots of spare iron to plate ships. We begin top secret plans to build a special ship. I WILL post them here because I trust that y’all won’t metagame. The ships is essentially the USS Monitor
