Take all the provinces bordering Sweden and Tver and some money. Try NOT to fight their army and let your subjects do it for you. As soon as you declare, take the mission. Objective- Cut Novgorod off from rest of Europe. If they are allied to just Ryazan or Odeyev, declare on them. 
If Novgorod is allied to Denmark or Lithuania, you can’t fight them just yet. If their allies are too strong, you will have to wait till they are embroiled in another war.ĭecember 11th: Set Novgorod as a rival. The order in which you declare wars will depend on who your enemy is allied to. In the first few years, you will fight Novgorod, Great Horde and Kazan. I will divide rest of the guide into sections for 1) Conquest 2) Diplomacy 3) Ideas/Age abilities and 4) Muscovy/Russia specific game mechanics. Improve with Pskov, as you can’t RM them. Michael for extra manpower recovery and discipline.
Consecrate metropolitans (you can do this in 3 states). Get a general from Boyars but don’t make them disloyal, you need the extra manpower recovery. Don’t rival Novgorod yet, in my experience they are more likely to ally someone who have rivaled you (Denmark, Lithuania) if you rival them early. Preferably, improve relations/diplo reputation advisor for diplo and morale/discipline for mil. This guide will be a less step-by-step and more of a general outline on what to do with Muscovy. Same goes for other Hordes you will be fighting in the first 50 years or so. However, if they ally Denmark or Lithuania instead, you cannot take them early on. Most of the time they will ally Ryazan and the war will be easy. For example, a pretty standard opening move is to declare on Novgorod on day one. Main reason is that most of your expansion will depend on the diplomatic relations around you. However, I don’t think that’s feasible for Muscovy. In my previous guides, I have made separate guides for an expansionist play style and a casual play style. There are only 2 things holding you back, one is the limited manpower you start with and second are alliances. Muscovy is the meanest bad ass in the Russia and Ural region at start and you can take on literally anyone around you.
