Swedish Faction

[TB666]

Not for the Swedes. Pikes were an integral part of their army, until Sweden was defeated and became the cold, neutral nation we know today.

Indeed, we were a bit old fashion.
However the game starts just 9 years before Poltava which was the end of Sweden as a major power so I can see from CA's point of view that spending time and effort on making Sweden unique when it was being outdated shortly afterwards as slightly pointless.
Hell I'm even surprised they even bothered to do give them swedish voices(some of it is really funny).

Still I have no problem with it's army in the game, it's does it's job well enough.
Even if it's weak stat-wise it just kinda adds to the fact that Sweden became a major power thanks to superior tactics despite being pretty much outnumbered and out-gunned in most battles.
