Oh yes, I played a mage in both and the difference was startling. In the first part you have immensly powerful spells, that could also backfire hard because the game had friendly fire. At high levels you could wipe everything on the screen, including your party. In the second, friendly fire was gone so you could blast away and suddenly you spun around like a kung-fu master for some reason.

Paradox has you covered. Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Rome, Stellaris, Victoria and Hearts of Iron. Take your pick and enjoy.

Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 2 and 3, Mount and Blade Bannerlord/Warband, Star Sector, Battle brothers, Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn, Stellaris.

The former won’t happen. Sweden is sorrounded by friendly countries. The second is a downside for Sweden.

So globally it is a nothing burger and locally it is a negative development for Sweden.

Yeah, during the 30 years war. After Gustavus Adolphus went the way of the Dodo, Sweden sucked.

It was a de facto member as long as NATO existed. Now it also is a de jure member too, a big nothing-burger.

I’d not repeat the Pooh meme if I’d were you. It implies Obama being a N-word. But libs and racism go hand in hand, so there you go.
