I've just bought a new DLC, The Cossacks, with only MoH, CoC and the russian one remaining. Now I'm wondering what nation would be best to check out its features with. I am not a blobber, so I don't want to play a horde. Something not as easy as Ottomans, but still not too challenging for a semi-experienced player. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Most of Cossacks features are either for hordes, or universal. Everyone gets estates, everyone gets the expanded diplomacy actions, so I'm not sure there's a specific nation that could highlight those. I really would recommend either Great Horde to Golden Horde, or one of the Manchu tribes into Qing. Golden Horde has some great ideas and although you need to blob a little bit into the steppes in order to form it, it really sets you up to go in any direction. Qing likewise has great ideas, and dominating the whole of East Asia can be very rewarding without needing to go to different continents.

Without MoH I would say do not do a Manchu horde. Ming will annihilate you. Try Great Horde or Uzbek, honestly. Both are solid horde choices
