Changing country in mid game

[unmerged(4719)]

Hey, everyone. I'm playing a GC game as brandenburg, and I've been attempting to aid my swedish allies in annexing the teutonic order for some time now. Every time the last province falls, though, the sweeds settle for indemnities rather than annexation. I'd like to switch to sweden for a moment and take care of the annexation myself. Anyone know how I would edit the save game file to facilitate this? Thanks in advance

I think it can be done in this way:
- save your Brandenburg game
- exit and go back to the main menu
- start any campaign in which Sweden is a major (Great Northern War?) and play Sweden
- from this game (don't exit back to main menu), load your Brandenburg game and play with Sweden

I started a game as Morroco. Then, F10-ed and loaded an unrelated Russian GC. Suddenly, I'm playing Morroco in the Russian GC. That was kinda weird. It was like being at a party and seeing yourself(!) over there putting the moves on some girl and realizing how stupid you really look.

Sounds like a brilliant idea. Now lets see if it works.
