1 Feb, 1543 – I fabricate a claim on an area

ADM TECH 12 - +3 states, allows some new gvnt types

I give Iglino to the clergy

I order a Weapons Manufactory for Moskva

6 May – I have finished fabricating claims and am ready for war to our south

According to the ledger, my expected three enemies are:

Crimea – 13k
Great Horde – 7k
Transoxiana – 28k

I think I can take ‘em solo

I have five armies that are 25k, 23k, 19k, 18k, 18k. I put my biggest two armies on the border with Transoxiana as well

I declare war for Astrakhan

Crimea did not join her allies. Smart.

28 June – Four minor holdings have fallen

1 July – The Golden Era of our nation has ended.

3 July – Surgut now a full colony:

Surgut – 3 dev, Forest, fur, north of Uzbek.

19 July - I rout the Great Horde army entirely, and it’s gone

12 Aug – The siege of Astrakhan has begun

23 Aug – I noticed that Astrakhan has just been rebuilt and only had a few hundred people in it from being mothballed. I assaulted and took it

1 Sept – As of now, 10 minor holdings are ours

7 Oct – I assault and take the Great Horde capital

1 Dec – Glazov converts. Next is Perm

I have moved three of my big armies deeper into Transoxiana

31 Dec – I have captured every Great Horde province

5 Jan, 1544 – Muscovy declared war on Rostov

12 Feb – More minors are falling in Transoxiana

26 Feb – I am playing a cat and mouse game with their army. All three of my armies are in adjacent provinces to support each other as I move.

Right now I only have a 9% warscore against Transoxiana them so I have to move cautiously.


1 Mar

Mangazea – This colony, 7 dev, forest, has the Taz Estuary bonus, naval supplies. North or Surgut

I send more Siberian folks east to Troitskiy


31 May – I get an excellent minister event

3 July – After a meat grinder of multiple armies, I finally catch their main one and beat it.

9 Oct – I take one of their lands after a successful siege

13 Nov – After arriving in their capital of Samarkand, I defeat their army again

15 Nov – Beloriskiy is now Orthodox! Next is Tobolsk

27 Dec – I assault and take Samarkand
