Is there a certain procedure to be taken when you change the name of a state like, FRAnce to KAKmarunionen??
I tried do this and failed....did exactly the same procedure with SCOtland....success!!

I don't really understand the problem, but....

When changing the country names in the text.csv file don't change the abrevations (förkortningarna) like FRA, SCO, KAL. Just change the country names for example the line FRA;France;x;x;x... to FRA;Kalmarunionen;X;X;X;....

Hope it helped

You don't get the right flag and/or leaders if you don't change the tag. However, I don't think Kalmarunionen can be used as a country, since it doesn't appear as anything other than a special form of vassalisation in the game.

We are talking about two separate things here.

1: The vassalization of Sweden to Denmark, it's called 'Union of Kalmar' and is defined in the 1492.inc file like this
alliance = {
id = { type = 9424 id = 1 }
type = vassalization
name = 'Union of Kalmar'
expirydate = { year = 1521 month = june day = 24 }
participant = { DAN SWE }
}

2: The Country Kalmarunionen or KAL in the text.csv file. KAL is not used in any scenario file so you should be able to use it to create a new country - of course you'll get KAL's flag (red cross on yellow background) if you don't change it.

However I'm not 100% sure that we can use KAL since Paradox has not answered my question about it (although Johan has stated that 1: it is not used 2: he himself uses it to observe AI behaviour.) I'll try one more time in the FAQ-forum..................

I created a scenario with the Union of Kalmar in action.
Played it for a couple of decades with no appearant problems, although their leaders (1/0/1/0) are annoying...

I have yet to try having the AI play KAL, but I will try it when I get around to it. Will be interesting.

On another note, what does everyone think of the concept of playing as KAL? Would it be historically concievable that this union would survive? Does it create a too-powerful scandinavia?

If it hadn't been for Queen Margrethe's incompetent heirs, the Union might have held on longer. I don't really see the problem with a powerful Scandinavia - it still wouldn't be as strong as France, for instance, and it might have caused serious trouble for Russia, which is a good thing, IMO.
