Overview

Denmark is a minor nation from the beginning of the game. The faction is not playable when the game is vanilla, but can be made playable with at least one released mod.

When the game starts, Denmark consists of three regions. Denmark controls its home region Denmark along with Norway and Iceland. Denmark is a total monarchy. Its capital is Copenhagen, which is a major city consisting of several building spots.

The faction is not very powerful when the game starts, and it often becomes weaker as the game develops. Denmark often has a powerful enemy as the faction often gets into conflict with the regularly more powerful and Scandinavian power of Sweden. Prussia is also often an enemy which sometimes wants to bring Denmark into its European empire, even though Denmark is a valuable trade partner. These threats are serious for Denmark, but there are more of them: Hanover is often in war with the nation, so Denmark sometimes has to fight on two or more fronts, and even the region of Norway may often rebel against the Danish rule, and become an independent faction.

Denmark might however have a fair chance to take control over regions in the northern parts of America. Iceland is situated quite close to the American theatre, and can give Denmark opportunities beyond many of its European counterparts.

Denmark is historically incorrect called Denmark in Empire: Total War. The nation was in reality called Denmark–Norway during the 18th century and beyond.
