EU4 1.35 Muscovy Guide - The NEW RUSSIAN MISSIONS Are INSANE

Too bad you have to play as ruzzians

Yeah, I followed this and had a coalition form against me of Novgorod, Kazan, Nogai and Crimea, which thankfully never fired, but then I went bankrupt. Hmmmm, yeah...not what I was planning 🤣

Could anyone help me? Regaurdless of how cloaely i follow the beggining steps i can only get up to 9 admin power per month even when hiring a level 2 advisor (no level 3s are ever available) i simply do not understand how red hawk was able to get his admin power that high...

I’m in the year 1452 now. Trying to follow this but the Greate Horde and Kazan are allied with the timurids and Uzbek. I get swarmed by the hoarde anytime I try to conquer them. Should I just focus on the Baltic and/or just develop more till I’m stronger ?

When will my economy start to stabilize ?

How did you regain stability during the Muscovite Civil War so fast, as it seems the amount of admin points during the time didnt change, so did you increase stab? Something is not adding up there...

Selecting the second option in the Muscovite Administration Adaption event only makes sense if you're planning to blob out way past your mission tree's permanent cores. I tried it and it did more bad than good, constantly putting me on the clock, wasting time recreating claims that I would've never lost to begin with with the other option. It's annoying and only exists as an option for random expansion. It's definitely anything but a default recommended option that you made it seem to be.
Otherwise, a really nice guide.

I need help , why do i only begin with 6 Admin Points per Month am i missing a DLC?

why u dont playing on ironman and on easy mode kekw noob

What graphic mod do you use?

id always recommend vassalizing riga to maximize their abilities in trade and gain a strong foothold in the baltic trade node

Declaring for kiev sounds really wrong with what's happening with today lol 😅

At this point you may integrate "Below zero". Hmmm that makes sense

You totally forgot about the power of God in Russia. Icons.

Trash tutorial

Aragon to roman Empire guide asap please

Muscovy is food.

Signed: the Great Horde.

My game just decided that Ivan the terrible must die at age 29 :(

Have to disapprove of any guide where you annex Riga instead of making it a vassal. If you make Riga a vassal and complete their mission for their buffs they’ll be a 1 province vassal that will, pay you upwards of 20 ducats a month in vassal tax. Riga is like 10 times more valuable as a vassal than as a low dev province in your empire.

Спасибо тебе за видос удачи тебе)

is trade ideas not better to take second due to the vassalizing ?

One thing to note, you can get rid of the unique boyar privilege on day 1, simply by taking the nobles agenda, granting the calling the diet privilege that automatically completes an estate agenda, and then revoking the bad privilege

yeah, muscovy is very strong this patch.

Getting Astrakhan as a vassal is a big brain move. Get their cores back asap and integrate them, as they spawn with vision on all of asia and you get that vision when you integrate them.

Is the "Event Insight" that pops on your mission tree a mod? Don't think I've seen it before. Thank you!

I wouldn't agree that you don't need allies as Muscovy. If Poland-Lithuania and Austria-Hungary become allies (which is not a far-fetched scenario at all) then you're in for a lot of trouble expanding into Eastern Europe without allies. Normally I try to ally Austria and use them against both the PLC and Ottos. Either are feasible to be defeated alone, but why bother when you can use allied cannon fodder? And later, when you need to fight Austria itself, you drop it for France and (if available) Spain, GB, someone strong from Italy.

I started a Muscovy run this morning, and had some bad RNG. Novgorod allied Sweden, and the Hoards all got into a full hug-box, and proceeded to never fight any wars because they had no enemies. I tried to outpace them, but I wasn't able to get the edge by 1610ish, so I'll just be restarting this one.

PLZ do Ashikaga guide

I didnt get the new missions, wondering if anybody would know why?

Do Tibet next and how to overthrow China and be a regional power!

Prokopiy von Knorring? Yeah, that's definitely russian name in the Late Middle Ages - Early Modern Period

Ugh you make such gross border gore. I think Imma run a Muscovy game to get like a bunch of 'cheevos

Awesome content as usual. Id love to see your take on playing Poland and turning them into a Cossack republic

Giving all privileges on day 1, when you know you will declare on 11 December is very bad, you basically lose 5% Crownland that you could get from conquering Novgorod's lands, because of the high influence.

make a Inca guide

I may be wrong, but I believe occupying Sirai is enough to remove the Tatar Yoke

I was just thinking to myself the other day, “Man, I love RedHawk’s other guides for this patch. I really wish he had a Muscovy guide, because this country is a way harder start than anything in Western Europe.” And suddenly, here it is: a guide video for Muscovy.

Can u do Sweden or Austria next after ideas have changed i wonder what's best for them.

Lmao you're improving relations with Novgorod after your war with them

"Money isn't really a problem, even though we're not making any" Ah yeah good ol' Russian Economics 101

Damn, 1.35 made Muscovy OP

Always think it's funny that the auto captions say knob garage instead of Novgorod 😂 appreciate the vid man

What are you doing steppe province?

Not sure I agree with opening with Trade - I think Admin or Diplo are the better open.

There are SO MANY subjects you can play w/ as Muscovy/Russia:

-In the east, there's also Sibir and Kazakh, which you can release from Uzbek
-One or two of the western hordes (crimea, Nogai, Great horde, Nogai) will get cannibalized by the others, so you could vassalize and reconquer for them
-Those 4 lithuanian vassals
-Finland
-Vassals in the Balkans that were conquered by the Ottomans
-The guys you start with of course
-Riga is always a good vassal
-Teutons often get conquered, that's another good vassal

So honestly, opening up w/ influence ideas wouldn't be bad. You'll probably also want admin somewhere along the way, so that meshes really well w/ influence (they have a -15% diplo annex cost policy together)

During the civil war, it can be worth it checking the stats of your pretenders. I got a 665 on the throne that way. Really nice that the tool tip with their stats are reliable nowadays.
