Understanding The Kalmar Union

[RangersFan]

I was hoping someone would post this at some point so I didn't have to go through with registering. I hope someone could help me with this.

I believe there are five settlements your supposed to capture, Kalmar, Goteborg, Visby, Uppsala, and Abo. I took all and did't get any messages or any changes.
Before I took Abo I did destroy Norway, could that be the reason?

Thanks for the help, really appreciated.

I think that is the reason. You need to restrain yourself from destroying Norway, while you take the settlements. When you have taken the settlements you will be ordered to kill the "only" opposition to the Union (King Haakon of Norway). Kill the King and Norway will join the Union without anymore trouble.

Don't think Göteborg is required. Only Kalmar, Visby, Uppsala and Abo.

Welcome to the forums!

Well, that news was something that I hoped I would hear. Guess I'll start another campaign. Thanks for the help.

Mainly new units, I think.

I have also gotten the union but got not a single new units, perhaps its only recruiteable in Norway castles (i made all mine citys to power my cash flow)

[Chlodwig I.]

you get 2? new Norwegian Units the new ones that are also available at the England campaign.

[Aeneas Veneratio]

You get the Svenner (Light cavalry) and two heavy infantry units, where the Gotland infantry (2hander) is one of them.

You need to build high tier buildings, I suspect, in order to get them. After forming the Union check your list over buildings to see what the further requirements are.

I restarted my campaign and am doing alot better then my first. I got the Union pretty quickly, was fun to reach that goal. I haven't been able to get the new units, I'm guessing you have to be at the top of the tree in order to get them.
But pretty cool getting all of Norways Generals, armies, and settlements with only having to do one battle, and that was to kill their King.

i was wondering if this work on the inverse, if i play with norway and i kill the danish king ?

Norway is unplayable in the Teutonic campaign.

[Ekeh Mayu]

Don't find this out the hard way!

I don't feel like playing the Teutonic Campaign at all after I killed the Norwegians before creating the Kalmar Union.

I got the Union in about 26 turns after I found out how to do it. And that was without playing the battles themselves, so you could probably do it alot quicker. Though so far it's only been looks for me wih the change of the flag. I haven't gotten the three new units yet.

I got the building/guild, does that mean I have the union?

I don't really know what it is/does, Can I only build the new units in the city with the guild in it?

I didn't even know I was supposed to get this union.
