Nah. They ran so fast from the battlefield of Narva that CA didnt have time to measure their capabilities

I'm sure I don't need to remind anybody that Sweden lost that war.

Due to a nit-wit king, not cowardly soldiers mind you...

Could we not have another Russian-Sweden fight for the love of god?

Hardly a 'nit-wit'. He was just too aggressive. Charles XII was at least as brilliant as Peter.
I guess you could just say he wasn't so good at long-term strategy.

Pfft. Why not?

While we're on the subject of the Great Northern War, why is Russia at war with the Ottoman Empire at the start of the game and not Sweden?
Dammit, CA.

Would have been nice to have a published strategy guide with this info.

Did the Parliament have a lot of those? Splendid. A shame I missed them however. I absolutely love such nationalistic debates. Could anyone oblige me with a link(s) please?

Name search Fenir. Just about any topic I saw him post in on this board consisted of him tl;dr'ing about how great Sweden was, or how terrible Russia was. Or how great the UK was.

Ah, the good ol' pre-release days

It never ceases to amaze me what rabbit trails are taken in these forums. I start a thread about unit stats, and it ends up being a Russia vs Sweden thread...
