Kalmar Union

**Sweger** · October 02, 2011, 06:05 PM

Ok, I am now playing as Denmark in the Teutonic campaign, and I have now the required regions as stated before by the game (Akershus, Kalmar, Roskilde, Göteborg, Uppsala). I had to go to war with Norway to do that, so now they only have that settlement at the tip of Norway.

What do I have to do now, do I have to kill their king, and the Kalmar Union will come automatically, or do I have to propose siezefire of force them to be wassals?

From the Wiki:

In order to form the Kalmar Union, you have to control as Denmark the cities of Goteborg, Abo, Kalmar, Uppsala and Visby. After controlling these cities, you will receive the mission to kill the Norwegian king in either field battle/siege. Once you form the Union of Kalmar, your banner will change and you will get access to 3 Norwegian units available in castles: Svenner, Sami Axemen and Gotland Footmen (a Swordsmith Guilde must be present in the castle).

Ok ,+rep for quick answer, did not think about the wiki (never heard of it i think, but I used the search function, and found basically the same info.

if you kill the norwegian king by capturing the last settlement it wont work.

It also doesn't work if the Norwegian King is the last family member of the faction. Basically, you have to kill the king (or have him die naturally) without destroying their faction.

Keep in mind that to train the Kalmar Union units, you have to upgrade to 1.5, otherwise, there's a bug that prevents you from using those units.

Ok, I have the gold edition 1.04 it says, so training the three additional units won't work? So I will need to find that extra patch for Gold Edition so that i don't screw up the entire game?

Indeed, the best thing to do is to simply aqcuire the necessary settlements, then wait for the norwegian king to die.
If Norway starts a war with you, you don´t even need to worry - as soon as the king is dead, you´ll get everything they have (just make sure not to lose any of the key settlements)

That's right. Unless you upgrade to 1.5, you won't be able to train those 3 units without modifications to the game files.

So, it took me some three hours to install that bloody patch, but finally! Let's see if it works....

Sorry to break it to you but save games are dependent on patch version. That means any campaign started under v.1.04 won't be playable under v.1.05. If you started that campaign in 1.4 then it won't work in 1.5. Hopefully you'll have better luck in a new campaign. Regards.

PC is right the patch v1.5 fixes the kalmar script which was initially broken, so the new script modifies the campaign_script.txt of the Teutonic campaign & since any changes in the CS are not save game compatible one has to start a new campaign, unfortunately.
