EU4 as Norway (year 1444 to 1500).
I started off the game with a partnered war of independence with Sweden against the Danish overlords with the aid of the English navy, and won our independence, with I as Norway annexing part of Schleswig-Holstein and giving my new ally Sweden part of Skane.
Then I worked to develop Norway, build trust with my Swedish ally, and most importantly got everything I needed to expel the Danish nobility from Norway, and as well tensions flared up with the Hanseatic League lead by Lubeck, and as well discovered maps of Greenland.
After 20 years I started a second war against Denmark alongside with Sweden, this time to force Denmark into a personal union with Norway, as well to take the rest of Schleswig-Holstein and give the rest of Skane to Sweden, and it ended up being a easier war now that I had an army and navy to match theirs.
As I further consolidated over the decades alliances came and went and as of now I'm allied not only with Sweden but also France and Poland. I was sent a diplomatic insult by Lubeck, head of the Hanseatic Trade League, and now with the support of my allies I plan to use this as an opportunity to declare war not for land but for supremacy of the trade in the Lubeck trade node.
With the Hanseatic League being protected by the Austrian Holy Roman Emperor the stage is now set for a war of Norway-Denmark (me), Sweden, France, Poland VS. the Hanseatic League and Austria (as he's the emperor of the HRE).
At the backdrop of this brewing war, the Norwegian colonists have made landfall in Newfoundland.
