Kalmar Union Question

[Iris Gale]

I've been fiddling around with Denmark and I came across an interesting find. Apparently, the Gotland mission "Secure Swedish Loyalty" allows you to skip the Swedish Dream of Independence event chain to complete the "Swedish Nobility" mission. Now, I'm not trying to do a Gotland Usurpation run, what I want to know is if I conquer Gotland as Denmark and then release them as a vassal, will they release as a monarchy so they have the correction mission tree, and if they do, will their relationship with Sweden start based on my relationship with it or do they start from scratch and have to improve relations themselves to complete the mission?

A destroyed nation loses all modifiers with other countries, and Denmark will also lose the chance to complete those missions in the proper manner because it lost its Kalmar PUs. Denmark will release as a monarchy IF you are a monarchy - released vassals take on all the technology and government reforms of their master.

You got it backwards. I'm playing as Denmark. The goal is using Gotland's mission to speed up completing a mission on Denmark's tree. That's why I was asking if Gotland releases as a monarchy or if it goes as a republic because of its weird start.

Just test it. The chance you actually get someone in here that tried this is exceedingly low. The advice you can get here in general is average at best.

Ah, misread the query. Just checked it myself though. Gotland has pirate missions 90% of the time, even if destroyed and brought back. This is decided by default the instant you start the game, whether or not you start as Gotland, and the AI is weighted 9:1 in favour of choosing pirate missions over monarchical ones.

That said, if monarchical AI Gotland does occur, the mission applies the bonuses to the country of Gotland specifically, rather than setting some kind of global flag enabling the mission bypass. So no, a Denmark overlord of AI monarchy Gotland cannot benefit from its missions.
