hardest part is forcing the union on poland tbh. then hoping muscovy doesnt blob too hard if you can pass the first 2 reforms before reformation id wager you need 125 provinces to be able to remove and re-add to revoke by 1530 or earlier. you start with 50 or so so thats kinda tough i think | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/O55S9j7.png) I underestimated just how powerful tier 3 admin efficiency is - I probably took 2000 dev in the last 20 years - but still, fuck regencies. | ||

First you need to hope that poland doesnt ally bohemia if so: Restart. Tons of other stuff too which ran ruin your early game. Claiming poland is the easy part though. Afterwards, you have to hope that you can crush muscovy (guy is stronger than you, there is a chance he allies the Ottomans....) AND you can become emperor. I managed to become emperor in one game, muscovy was alive and kicking though. Last game i crushed muscovy, everything looks finde but i cant become emperror. Bohemia ate a part of hungary and refuses to vote for anybody but himself, the palatinate had somebody else voting for him and so on..... The palatinate gets elected immediately chooses a seventh elector after trier got annexed and now has 4 electors voting for him. There is NO WAY youre going to beat them if they are allied with the electors. Youre not part of the HRE, mind you. You basically have to hope for an aggressive or very weak austria that ALSO DOESNT FUCKING GET BURGUNDIAN INHERITANCE which happened in another game..... All in all its a tiresome act to make this work. Everything must go according to plan. I made a couple of mistakes in the first few runs, but the last one was just me being unlucky. | ||

And speaking of hating the game sometimes, I just wasted 15 years tanking max call for peace but the goddamn inheritance didn't trigger. inheritance is frustrating, sometimes it fires in the weirdest situations too (Burgundy crushing England with +50 warscore) First you need to hope that poland doesnt ally bohemia if so: Restart. Will Hungary not accept a CtA against Poland even if you promise them land? If you're going for optimality then yeah should restart if Poland ally Bohemia but Lithuania starts with enough dev to outright beat Pol+Bohemia at game start with correct fights I imagine (Lith ~40k, Pol+vassals 25k early game, Bohemia with 20k~) Assuming that Muscovy DOWs Novgorod first year, dogpile scenarios should favor you too | ||

Bohemia. Made for some nice coring costs throughout that region (not that I cared, was going for Frozen Assets). I like the randomness of MTTH but with events that have such an early expiration date it's really annoying when you streamline all your efforts into something that just doesn't happen due to RNG. On a happier note: next expansion announced- Mare Nostrum! Maybe they'll finally be able to make naval warfare interesting/fun/predictable and the AI not completely horrible at it. | ||

Afterwards, you have to hope that you can crush muscovy (guy is stronger than you, there is a chance he allies the Ottomans....) AND you can become emperor. Er in what world is Muscovy stronger than PLC ? Not to mention that you can easily ally Novgorod or the Hordes. Muscovy can only ally Ottomans if they share you as a rival so that is entirely in your hands too. Becoming Emperor is always somewhat tricky because you can't influence when the Emperor dies (my last HRE game he took an eternity to die and with some bad luck on my part made me miss the inheritance) and if he gets called to the defense of the empire and wins there's no way to get any electors on your side (maybe not even with vassalizing). The early diplomatic situation should present no problems at all, only awesome opportunities- 3 Interregnums in close proximity and Lithuania has the most development (which decides whose heir gets on the throne in case of several marriages) in Europe. Also you should be able to ally Austria, making any early wars trivial. | ||

I didnt have any trouble getting emperor, it was surviving with your shitty income + the poland war draining you thats hard. in my most recent game i tried 3-4 times to beat PLC as Muscovy/russia but god damn its hard | ||

They were one and the same. The exiled troops were able to loot in china without being able to take any damage therefore tearing apart china way too early. Also infinite money and manpower from mission list abuse. | ||

Obviously The Three Mountains is the hardest achievement by quite a large margin so it's probably impossible without some "tricks". | ||

Overseas core nerf really did shaft all the non-reduced core cost tags though. | ||
