How should i start a game off as Muscovy? Basically im really new to this game.

i did okay as the Ottomans(could probably actually finish a game as them if i played it thru but they are pretty easy)
any tips for a beginner tho?

Attack Novogrod early. Ally Poland if they dont insta rival You. If they do, Hungary, Denmark might be good options. Be carefull fighting hordes as they sometimes ally Ottomans. Expand east, its worth it. If Denamrk rivals You support of Swedish independance might be good option.

A genral advice: Be carefull take Your time and strike when enemy is weak. Let others do the heavy lifting.

Actually there's no rush to attack Novgorod. Attack Ryazan first and wait for Golden Horde to declare on them, vassalize Ryazan and now you can take a whole bunch of Golden Horde land with the Tribal Conquest CB (no dip cost and very little AE), just feed it to Ryazan because all that Sunni land will cause trouble if you take it yourself so early. After that you can take on Novgorod and feed as much land as possible to your vassals except the Novgorod province, leave that for the 2nd war. Cancel the mission to conquer Novgorod and do any other mission until the truce timer is up, then you have the mission available again, just for their remaining provinces and thus no rush to integrate your vassals.
I wouldn't ally Poland because there is all that Russian culture land in Lithuania that you ideally want for yourself.

I've never played Muscovy myself but maybe Austria is a good ally? They're strong and can help you with the Commonwealth while they're far enough away that you don't want to eat their land untill a lot later.

When I played muscovy (quite a while ago) austria turned out to be a usefull ally, it was the first and only time I saw the entire HRE form, which pretty much killed my western expansion .

Ive kind of got it down a bit(this game is worse than civ on the whole 1 more turn thing btw)
doing good as the Ottomans now, not that thats a huge achievement.

but ive kinda got getting cbs, waiting on tech to fight, building up manpower for big wars.
and not trying to annex giant nations but completely annexing little ones.

also i usually wait till a country(serbia wallachia w/e) revolts before i move on to trying to conquer something else
this way i dont worry about it in the future
is that a good way to play?

damn the rebels this patch sure are something. decided to lower autonomy on russian area, spews out ~180k rebels. Fun times. and there's 2 more incoming

probably lost like 5-10 years on the WC from doing that. 360k rebels are probably more than France + Ottomans + Austria could field, and they have my tech which makes them super dangerous.

Decided to try a colonizing game with the new new world.

I basically got a South America and two North Americas.

Absolutely massive. 17 Colonial regions instead of the standard 11. Some of the ocean/sea names are used twice too.

This new patch introduced yet another mana system. HoI 4 already confirmed to have mana as well.

What's up with Paradox and their recent mana hardon?

Any way is a good way to play this. Personally, I think I had more fun when I was just chilling and trying to "fulfill my historic fantasy" than when I was powergaming everything.

ideas? tech? expansion? development? culture changing things to russian for absolutely no reason?

play a horde and you can have all five! (one-tag here we come? just need to pick a good war and I can start tearing apart Western Europe by feeding Burgundy)

I wanted to take the rest of QQ but albania is getting big and is currently taking all of them + some of persia atm
so i thought id probably kill them after their war ends knowing they'll be low on mp and shit

Looks ridiculous. One question though. Whats Your max manpower? I see You are running pretty low for that big country.

Did you guys buy the new expansion? I read, that diplomacy changed a lot. Is this a free feature or is it only included in the expansion? I am not sure whether I want to pay 20 Euro for it since I am not really interested in the Hordes. What do you guys think about it?

Go there to see what's paid and free and then make your decision yourself. I won't buy it but I haven't played a lot of EU4 lately so that's why. I'll pick it up when it's on sale sometime.

wat.

It takes you 100 years to conquer a chunk of Asia, Europe, Africa and to take care of remaining natives.

I haven't played in ages, but I guess you got the huge amount of monarch points required by razing provinces?
