This video is stand alone, so you don’t need to watch the previous one about Muscovy to understand what's going on, but if you are interested, here’s the link to the guide from where I took the save: th-cam.com/video/wqocroVIEUk/w-d-xo.html
Just tried full cav russia. You get aristocratic, loyal cossacks and give the boyars the cav privilege from tier 5 reform. All these combined give you 95% cav inf ratio, 50% cav combat ability and 50% cav cost. I killed the hordes only to eventually become one myself. Next playthrough ill try forming russia as a horde in order to grab horde national ideas and horde ideas
@@CoolBonobo I was thinking of something like that too. I wonder if it is worth doing any other formation during that process as well for more modifiers.
Instead of using horde national ideas, start as Kazan because they get maneuver, cavalry flanking and combat ability, and they have better tolerance of heathens so it's less painful to swap religions. Just my personal choice, Kazan has gold at the start which I prefer.
Would you play Novgorod-to-Russia Great Veche Republic some day in the future? Not soon obviously, since you already have fresh Russia run. Would be nice to see tall'ish Russia games, as much as one can apply "tall" to Russia anyway. I've seen some EU4 contentmakers starting those, but never going any further than first wars against their big neihbours, it would be refreshing to see numbers of trade-oriented Novgorod conquering Northeastern Europe et al going green and upwards.
The reason to play tall is not to look at the numbers go up, but to conquer the entire map from a small state. Also, there was a video exploring Novgorod creating Russia and then moving its capital into Brazil so it would "brazilian frontier" all the way through Americas.
@@pinguin472 Not exactly. There was a video by a russian blogger voevoda. Sadly, it doesn't have any translation but you can try to make the sense of it just by looking at the UI.
9:14 you can click the trade node and there should be a button that turns provinces in that node into trade provinces. You don’t have to press on every single one
Becoming Western in technology group is not that bad, in the late game it becomes the best. The Eastern technology group is not that far behind but it's still a buff.
Well, Ivan IV was kinda terrible during the last years of his reign. I am actually surprised that Oprichnina in EU4 is portrayed as something good, cause it literally was a wave of terror mainly against boyars.
He had some reasons for paranoia, boyars aristocrats poisoned his first wife and mother. In time when boyars regensy he experienced a terrible attitude from them. And during his illness bin 1553 they tried to disinherit his truborn son and put on the throne his first cousin prince Andrei Staritskiy. During his reign were killed from 5000 to 20000 people, it's less than was killed in St. Bartholomew s day massacre in France. So Ivan was no more terrible than all rulers of his time. P. S. Sorry for my English I'm not native speaker)

Why no estates for prestige decay and trade power and nothing from cossacs? They are just as good as the reform progress + free manpower and deving on steppes
Tbh, I don't like granting more privileges than necessary. The more influence estates will have, the harder it will be to get crownland and revoke them later.
@@CoolBonobo Tho there is so much free equilibrium andloyalty(from reforms or even privilieges like the one for missionary strenght or 2% per general). Also its not worth revoking unless u wanna do a world conquest, absolutism isnt a priority at all. High loyalty>no revolts on seizing land>stonks. But everyone has his own playstyle so keep up with the content :D
@@CoolBonobo Russia get a lot of bonus for keeping influence down tho. I'm rocking 5 privileges each estate and I had to sell crownland to even get the bonus because they have no land nor influence
Did PDX really made Oprichnina a good thing in this game? Like wtf... It was literally abolished a couple years after it was established because of how terrible, corrupt and inefficient it was. If anything, it should give you massive debuffs, together with buffs on suppressing the rebels...
It is a problem, but not a big one. It's still possible to reduce it with advisor and some admin power, but it didn't really bother me. The worst thing about high inflation are negative events.
@@rilindshehu96 Pffft, I panic over 10%. Try a Lubeck run, but change capitol to Dalaskogen, 12 goods produced gold province pre modifiers is nuts. I usually rush the project to be finished before 1500 :D
@@rilindshehu96 Really? The whole trade league game is not fun yeah, I tried it once, and just play as usual. Ally the emperor, some danish rival. Attack them when Sweden fights for independence and snipe Copenhagen and some norwegian provinces. Attack Sweden when their strong allies abandon them and snipe Dalaskogen. Change capital to the province before taking the Mineral I-don't-remember-what mission that gives you gold in your capital, and voila you have 30 bird mana province with gold mine that doesn't deplete - the income is around 70 ducats when you stack production modifiers. In my current run I had to take close to 100 loans to rush the project to completion, but boy did it help power my economy. I'll have to try max production efficiency run with Lubeck.
I really don't understand what im doing wrong in forming russia. I have tried many times now with and without tutorials but it always ends up with me either 1: being crushed by the commonwealth or 2: being crushed by the Ottomans. I never get stronger than them. My economy is always bad where i have 10-15 loans. Even before update and the dlc 1.35 this was happening to me.
dont fight too many wars too quickly, try to consolidate best u can before war so u can take loans for mercs. also ally austria they r ur best ally until u form russia
Are you going defense ideas as Russia? Russia, just like in real life, sucks to invade. Let the great powers run around in your territories loosing all their manpower before you counter attack. Defense-religous as your first two ideas allows a policy for more attrition too. The Siberian trade chain is one of the most isolated, and therefore powerful trade chains in the game. If you're dieing in the early game, like before 1500 you need to hang on to your vassals for longer and possibly get new ones to help with wars. Quantity is the worst military idea group for Russia, you already have the most manpower in the game you just need troop quality so you don't melt to other nations (Sweden, Prussia, Poland, Ottomans) who actually have troop quality bonuses built in
AI declares on you if it thinks that it can easily win against you, so always upgrade mil tech and find as many allies as possible. They still would be able to declare if your allies won't join in, but the chance is much much lower. As for economy, Muscovy early game economy is always like that. Your only remedies are stealing money in wars and developing gold mine in Kazan. In the mid-late game, you'll get a lot from trade, pay out your loans (you may do it like me, by stealing money from Ottomans/Poland/Denmark), build manufactories and workshops and you'll have more money than you'll ever need.
2 comment. You probably wouldn't have been able to declare deus vult on poland because then Austria could not help you because they were catholics too.
instead of taking land urself from lets say novgorod u can feed ur allies. that way you can tech up admin fast and take an idea group and not lag behind

@@David-bh7hs did it already as oirat. Cav flanking isnt as good as you think btw especially when you have 100% cav combat

The admin tech requirements to form nations is pretty annoying, but I'm glad it locks muscovy from colonising whole siberia before 1500.

Take the 15 ccr decision with national idea and plus admin idea ccr reduction, admin point is no longer a problem. Religious idea allow to expand
