superpower" was defeated several times by grossly outnumbered Swedish forces in the 16th century, and it was Sweden, not Russia
Have I ever stated that it wasn't true? I don't see it a good enough reason to cut leaders from Russia, though.
There are no new Swedish generals for that period
Exactly my point. That's the only time when Russia has more generals.
This is just the worst kind of nonsense. Excepting Denmark, Sweden is by far the hardest to play of the original majors in the game. Russia, France, Spain, England, Poland and Turkey are monsters. Besides, even you must realize that the IGC team cannot try to "balance" the game nations for human control.
I wouldn't call it nonsense. I played Sweden, it's hard the first 10 years, just don't go to Russia, take care of Denmark. I didn't notice anything particularly hard about it in the first 50-60 years. I absorbed most of Denmark. Then your good leaders show up. I played Denmark as well. Hard, but very manageable.
You have always been hostile to me for some reason I cannot fathom
Like, any examples? I am sorry you took my joke seriously. Next time I will always be serious. I promise. And besides, why take everything so personally?
Based on your general comments, I don't think you will ever be happy with the IGC. So, don't use it... And don't whine about it--go ahead and make your own Super Russia scenario.
This is
REALLY nice of you, I suppose. I invested quite a bit of time into it by doing research; I suppose I have a lot of free time on my hands to do something I don't use. No, shouldn't use, according to you. Well, my goal is to help to
IMPROVE the GC, and I found the changes you (not personally) made to a leader file are
QUESTIONABLE . I stated my opinion, yet I am being accused of all kind of sins. So, apparently stating a negative opinion is equivalent to whining?
Russia has to have more leaders because it's supposed to be a great empire. It's ridiculous, if Russia would have less leaders than some minor. At the moment, Russia barely has 2 at a time.
Besides, knowing how AI uses them, I doubt that cutting leaders will achieve anything.
Hartmann:
I understand what you're trying to achieve. Unfortunately, I disagree with your method of depriving one nation of their leaders, and giving other tons of generals. We might as well get rid of all Russian leaders, because Russia is indeed very strong. Yet, I don't think if we want to achieve anything remotely close to what happened historically, we should do it at the expense of cutting one's nations leaders. Russia never had any CB on Sweden until later on, so Russia wouldn't attack Sweden. Sweden shouldn't attack Russia early on too.
One thing is to tinker with province supply levels, which I think is a more honest way to deal with the situation.
So, restore those leaders. A historical event file should provide a better way to weakening Russia.
Cheers, and don't take everything so personally......
