Huh... i could do it another try, i think i could do it faster now, aspecialy if i would now got annex ryazan mission... Anyway i just say you - annexing ryazan is NOT needed to form russia. I could form russia without it, by taking more novgorod land in first peace deal. Defeating its army is quite easy, as defeating any non horde army. Also i think you just exaggerate a bit. If i would do it with every country i fought i would understand your point, but using such thing one time?
Also i mostly wanted to show that it is possible to form Russia that fast. Now i am not realy interested in doing it again. I think that if you want, realy just do it yourself - and do it by for example in 1410. If you think thats illegitimate - its your law to think so, but i am proud of that i did it so fast and that i managed to did it.
EDIT: Also, if i wanted i could not say that, and then what would you do???
