I have played EU II for ages now and have pretty much gone most of the major/minor powers. But have yet to take on the big red bear so I thought I would give it a go. My initial stategy was to get Novagrod and the lucrative COT. However this was much harder than I thought. I managed to get its provinces but it will not vasselise and I would rather wait till my reputation improves a bit. In the meatime Sweden attacked and I managed to beat them off and get a few christian provinces that are now regularly revolting. I was then attacked by Lith and again I managed to nick a few provinces that do not revolt. Now the golden horde has attacked and I think I can repeal them.
What I want to know from experinced Russian players is what do I do from here I was thinking about taking out the Horde and moving south into Europe. I would certainly appreciate some ideas on how best to achieve this. I like to diplo annex if possible but understand that I will need to fight pretty hard esp if I go south!
