Yay im back (damn medieval war is so damn addicting)
Twas the year 1492 when I was sent down from heaven to stop the war in the year 2309 (Full nuclear war...boom). My mission was to take control of Russia and alter its history in anyway so communists never take power. I've been given 300 years to do so.
So I embarked on this...filthy, drunken, barren journey to save the world. I was lucky enough to land right on the footsteps of the Palace of Moscow and my presence startled all. I was immediatley given full power (so I held up a lighter and shot of a flare.....whatever works).
My best guess to make the Russians never want communists is to simply make the people happy. This shouldn't be too hard there stupid peasents what could they want. I made my way over to Tver to talk to some peasents in the village.
"Hello, Im your king now how could I make you happy?"
"Gi me Vodka"
"Ummm. Ok" (i give them some vodka)
"Gss me more VodKaaa"
"Dont you want anything else"
"Noooth...Vodka..Gives me VOdka"
Ok well these people arnt to hard to please. Just give them Vodka. I take a quick inventory of the situation. Its not bad solid army and decent tax income. Much of the world hates me though, Well except for Denmark who I make an alliance with as my first official act.
Well a little further in my first year in my first year I get some startling news from one of my few Diplomats. Apparently relations are really bad with Poland whose 3 times my size and has an army of horse's that arnt just used for polo. Task one take preventative action against this. I get a little help with Royal Marrage offers from Bohemia and Moldavia in June. In august I cement an alliance with Bohemia so I now can force the Poles to fight on 3 fronts if they choose to attack me. I have about 200 gold in my coffers and an army of 119000 men stationed between Moscow, Tver and Novgorod.
1493 I looked at the state of affairs in my country. The people are pretty happy with +2 stability. Im still pretty uneasy about the country's defence's but I really dont have much money to put into soilders (There cheap, but there are more important things). No the establishment of good relations throughout the world and improving my income would have to be the first step. Throughout the year I would take steps at both, Austia and Hungary would join my Anti-Polish alliance. Beneficial to both country's because the threat from Turkey could eliminate either of them, but combined with along with Bohemian suppport they could put up a fight.
Financially I would send 7 merchants to Novgorod over the course of the year. 4 established improving my income a bit.
1494 I feel pretty safe about the defense of my lands. I have weak techs which I will work on improving but I have high amounts of troops and a strong alliance against my biggest threat. Time to get those techs up and get myself some money (Vodka is expensive stuff). I put Taxcollectors in Moscow, Tver, Novgorod, Vologda, Vladimir. I kept up with my plans to improve foreign relations by entering a Royal Marrage with Hungary.
Keeping up with my trade improvements by sending 3 to Danzig which all would establish.
1495 Im up to about 60 D a year 11.7 a month. 9.3 from tax and less then 1 from trade and that simply wont due. 3 more merchants off to Andalusia, only 2 would survive to set-up-shop but that atleast would get me to 1 a month. Unfortunately my army took a major hit, loosing 40,000 plus to desertion in Novgorod (RE). They were heard to be yelling they want more Vodka as they ran for Ingermanland (what is wrong with these people). I did hit land tech 2 that same month (so what if all my opponents are about to hit 4). Austria and Hanseatic League refused to take our princess's ( They said they would consider it if we shaved them and gave them a tic tak).
All was not bad this month as far as rest-of-world relations go. Our borders were secured for atleast 4 years+ when P-L (Venice, Hanover, H-L, Portugal) DoW'd Turkey (Crimea). Good let those two giants pound away and leave me and my allies alone for my plans....
Give me some feedback please.
