1 May - I cannot choose the Livonian order as my rival anymore. Next? I choose the Teutonic Order instead. I choose not to do Sweden or Muscovy
23 May – Estonia is now our ally. They announce the LO as their rival
7 June – I choose to get our iron from Muscovy in an event, and we get bonus DIP power and relations with Muscovy
9 June – We enter into an alliance with Muscovy. I don’t want to deal with an angry neighbor yet
1 Dec – I choose not to increase my next Trade Idea as we are nearing the next Trade Tech.
13 June, 1480 – One of our holdings is fabricated a claim by Livonia
20 July – Novgorod now a core.
1 Oct
DIP TECH 5 - +20 trade range, +5% trade efficiency
Expansion Idea #2 – +1 Merchant
18 Oct – I accept offers of military access for Denmark and two others warring with other powers.
The addition of this merchant in Kazan steering trade to Novgorod is big.
17 Mar, 1481 – We win the naval race vs Novgorod after a few transports I ordered arrive
I begin sending my troops out to do military drills, which drops their current morale massively for a few months while it rebuilds, but increases our Military tradition.
I take a mission to increase my trade revenue
I Reform the Subdenik and cut autonomy again
15 May – I order a Workshop in Novgorod.
16 Dec – We get a fun event:
Byzantine Refugees
Byzantium has fallen to the Turks. The last bastion of the Roman Empire, Byzantium, is gone. Byzantine refugees flee. We have a few choices. I invite them, and we gain prestige, get cheaper tech costs for 20 years, but lose some MIL power in the meantime while we try to reframe our knowledge with theirs
