I would think the Swedes would have very expensive units especially and also more limited resources. Sweden for a long time had by far the best equipped, trained and led troops in all of Europe. But their problem is that with their small population and limited resources they couldn't rebuild. When their army was destroyed in the war in Russia Sweden was finished as a major power. Unlike Russia and also other nations Sweden couldn't rebuild it's army once it was gone.

Sweden almost always was outnumbered in battle. Sometimes by up to 5 to 1.
