If you're going to play Sweden, I recommend NOT marching towards Moscow in the winter. Especially if you are facing a Russian king whose name starts with P and the year is between 1708 and 1710... otherwise the hardy "Indelta" soldiers of Sweden should do just fine. Good luck.
I imagine Great Britain will include some Scottish units, not sure about the Irish. That's why I was thinking Great Britain.

With Sweden I would probably leave Russia alone and go after easier targets at least in the beginning. I don't know if the cost of attacking Russia would be worth the benefit. Maybe take some of the Western area as a buffer zone.

One thing I wonder about is whether the AI is improved so that opposing countries will load armies onto transport ships and land them on your territory. That was lacking in RTW.
