EEP Russia

[unmerged(9442)]

I'm playing EEP 1.1. Great work, but one significant thing must be changed in next EEP version.
1533: Vassiliy III dies and Ivan IV rules the our nation.
Historically in 1533 Ivan IV was ~12 years old and he wasn't pure master of Russia.
I suggest add between Vassiliy III and Ivan IV 'Regents" - aproxim. for 6-7 years with poor skills (f.e. 2-2-2)

but arn't there events to simulate the power of the Boyars?? (i think thats them)

Well, why would they have poor skills? Elena wasn't too bad of a ruler.

i aint to up on russian history, but if Sergei Einsteins 'Ivan the Terrible' is anything to go by, the boyars pretty much ruined russia for a while....

Well, may be Elena Glinskaya was not the worst. But I mean the whole crowd - Shuiskie, Belskie, Glinskie... They're are really bastards, so 2 stars are maximum for Regents.

maybe an event on ivan's rise to the throne, like, monarchs skills changed by so muich, to get what you want, for how ever many months till the boyars are gone.

I agree, but
In 1533 Ivan IV was 3 yers old

Regency or Boyars need for Russia in 1533 - 1547

Aftre 1547 to 1565 - Izbrannaia rada - Exellente ministers with wery good skills

Ivan IV was not so good as EEP and GC - I think them need ADM - DIP - MIL skills 3 - 2 - 5 only...

Didn't the whole childhood experience where the boyars effectively ruled the country and killed any friend he gained in the Court scar Ivan for life and drive him to the insanity that later manifested later in his lifetime? The boyar regency should have low stats, not to represent the lack of actual skill at governing, but the chaotic infighting that was going on at the time.
