I put all capitals as objectives just as starters that's the reason why Vienna, Madrid etc are Objectives while Copenhagen isn't.
Yes the cities are all directly from actual maps created during the actual war.
The reason there are Protestants and Swedes is simple, the Protestants called themselves the "Protestant Union" while the Swedes called themselves the Kingdom of Sweden or something to that effect. The Swedes were at the time, engaged in numerous conflicts with small provnicial German Princes (the Princes weren't small, the provinces, although there was probably a tiny prince or two). However at the outset of the conflict the Protestant Union made concessions to Sweden in order to delay their war until they fended off the Habsburgs. It was later that the Swedish (and I should say Danish as well) leaders decided that if they came to the aide of the Protestant Cause it could help them gain power after Catholicism was crushed. Not to mention, the fact that both nations are Protestant does not an alliance make. France and the Habsburg holdings (you know the holdings, I won't list them) were Catholic states, but they warred.
Mercantilism is an advance that has taken the place of trade I believe, discover that and you will know what you must.
Believe me I love the criticisms, however my main worries (since I know basically know the war front to back) lied in the stats of the soldiers. What works, what doesn't what should change?
Also it is too easy for a specific civ? To hard? To easy in general?
I need those types of remarks, because I know all of the other errors pretty well.
One last question, all in all was it an enjoyable scenario, did you have fun with it? Despite its numerous failings?

I got the Swedish AI to invade Germany, you have to get the reputation values right, and the relationship values right between the two, and then put units in the right places and all sorts of other crap. I can't really think of it now, I am at school and don't have access to my home PC.
But it goes down quite well, actually the scenario I made (dunno if it came out the same way for you guys, but did for me every time I tested it) was pretty realistic, as far as European warfare goes. There was a lot of cross-border fighting. ie French against Poles, Indies against Poles, et cetera. Which may not be realistic, but what I was going for (more or less) was this is how things were politically in 1618, you are not trying to recreate the war, though you are entitled to do so, but you are trying to deal with the same situation in your own way, in essence fight the war how you would have done so.
So I try not to keep it in the totally-historical context that a lot of people would have liked. That's not to say I just ignore history, I have a lot of historic elements, but later in the game I doubt it will reflect history other than the fact that some things are an inevitable, and almsot must occur for the person to achieve victory. ie Habs must secure the "Rhine Road" in order to properly consolidate power between their holdings. Things like that, are unavoidable, unless you play totally differant, and that could get tough.
I also created this game with the intent of being an MP scenario, which is why even on Diety it may seem too easy. The rationality is, the AI blows, MP would be a better way to play this.
I gotta go to class now, thanks for the input.

GRRRR you told my deepest dark secret....
Yes I did use the Brandenburg flag, because it was the closest variation I could find for the old Polish flag.
Man.... you guys suck.....
Ugh, continue the massacre of my scenario....
EDIT: Before I Get another one of these, the flag used for the Habsburgs is the Austrian flag used by the Habsburgs. The flag for the Prussians is the flag used by the Bohemians. The Swedish flag is legit. The French flag is legit, although it was not official or anything, the flag for the Independants is in actuality the old British flag. The flag used for the Protestants is the flag used by Germany during the Bismarck days, the Protestant Union did not employ an all encompassing flag, although I am quite sure one was created for the Union, there was just no specific flag other than German provinces, so I used the one Bismarck did to pretty much connote a united German effort.
There were not as many ships as I have in the scenario available during the time period, I put those in there for fun.
Denmark and Sweden are together despite the fact that they had a love-hate rivalry, they were allied for around ten years during the war, and generally did what they felt like after/before that eventually leading to a war in the final years. They are together for, among other reasons, lack of civs.
If you are a Dane or Swede and do not like this, make your own damn scenario!
Peace.
Or as the Romans would say, Pax!

Capo, you don't seem to take suggestions very well.
Part of opening yourself to suggestions means taking ALL suggestions offered to you, and then deciding which ones you want to use.
No one can force you to use a suggestion you don't like. You don't even have to justify yourself to them! But, if you're going to get any good suggestions, you'll probably get some you don't care for.. just ignore 'em and don't take it so personally!
