@La nova renaissance What are you talking about. Of course Scandinavia is considered a part of mainland Europe.

[@Minkybyl]

@@NotVeryRandomDude Technically yes, but since we have to cross the sea to actually get to almost anywhere in europe we dont always see ourselves as mainlanders.

[@NotVeryRandomDude]

@@Minkybyl Or take the land route through Russia.

[@reallyFrogman]

@La nova renaissance You do know that Scandinavia shares a land border with with Russia which is part of mainland Europe.

What an historical chad roleplay -focuses on Denmark letting Finland vulnerable first -let’s the poles take livonia to then destroy them -focuses in the commonwealth once he is on the offensive - “WE ARE NOT STOPPING UNTIL WE ARE TAKING MOSCOW” Just like the real thing

Does this mean Alex is a strategic genius like Charles XII?

[@sandercohen5543]

Also, half the swedes didn't succumb to starvation, disease and hypothermia by the time they reached moscow, like real life, since the Russians just set fire to everything. Literally everything. Think about that the next time you complain about having no supply in Russia :)

Alex: Does both sides of the Denmark branch Also Alex: Why didn’t the peace deal work

[@efulmer8675]

Well that wasn't exactly his fault: he did one side and got the event, but the Danes refused which bypassed the other side automatically, so he had both sides done even though that shouldn't ever be possible and is definitely an oversight on the modder's part. But still, pretty good for a mod - it never crashed.

Let's just appreciate the fact that Rambler played this like what actually happened in the great northern war. Denmark surrendered? Check, Then they rejoined? Check, March for Mosow? Check. Granted it had a different outcome but still
