Fun fact: among all these tribes Chukchi were the most powerful and aggressive, having their own slavery-based mini empire and their raids reaching as far as Alaska. Even their name means "a proper human" as they saw others as not humans. The only people they accepted as half-humans were Russians, however even they had only one purpose to exist- to produce vodka, guns and matches and sell all these to Chukchi.

[@AlzaboHD]

This is really interesting, thanks for the information!

[@stefankurtev5802]

Another one: almost all surrounding tribes e.g. Koryaks and Buryats were so fed up with Chukchi raids that they joind Russians in a number of wars against them and Chukchi managed to almost always fight them off Asterix and Obelix style, the wars started at late 17th century and now guess who finished the conquest of Chukotka?

Korea always becomes huge, at least development-wise. They develop their provinces like crazy and always become much mightier than Japan for example.

[@firei11]

Oh hey, I played a Chavchuveny run recently and followed roughly that strategy! Well, I was trying to form Qing so I wasn't as focused on the relentless push west, but my early game was nearly exactly as you described. Got unbelievably lucky and landed gold in Jugjur 1st try, no reset needed. I have 2 addendums which people who attempt this run might find useful: 1. While you're doing nothing in the early game, humiliate one of the other Siberian OPMs to achieve an age of discovery objective and start building up splendor. Since you'll be colonizing early, I think the best age ability you can pick is the one that grants +1 to all devs in colonized provinces. It's much better than usual since you're colonizing land for yourself instead of a future colonial nation/trade company. 2. If you don't particularly care for keeping your tag and Kamchatkan culture (arguably the worst culture group in the game), culture convert to Jurchen and form Manchu. Colonizing Siberia will give you a bunch of banners you wouldn't normally get, and Manchu has solid ideas as opposed to the Siberians' absolute garbage heap.

[@GraveFable25]

I did a WC with Chukchi a while ago, one thing i'd add to this is to no-cb haixi or korchin as they get dow'ed by Ming and vasalize them. That way you can become a tributary of Ming once you integrate them so you can take out his other tributaries. I also focused on becoming horde asap and then chain truce broke Ming.

[@blafoon93]

Definitely culture shift, but I say don't go Jurchen because Jurchen culture while insanely strong, doesn't give you the mission tree that the Mongolian culture group will. If you plan to move your capital to Europe, then there is no better mission tree. You probably have to do the capital move without the missions but perma claims on all of Eastern Europe, Persia, Caucasus, China and Central Asia.... permanent -15% province warscore cost!

[@Comintern1919]

Do be honest, I never get people wanting to culture shift. In that case you could just play a nation of the culture in the first place. After all, if difficulty is the reason you play that nation to begin with, wouldn't it be more difficult and thus much more interesting to stick with the worse culture? I really see no reason to culture shift no matter from what point of view.

[@LiterallyWho1917]

@@Comintern1919 It's to be able to form nations and stack permanent modifiers from their mission trees for a minmaxy build. Look at Florryworry in his campaigns, particularly is current one. He's playing Bohemia and formed Croatia, then Sardinia Piedmont, then Saxony then Prussia and combined with going Hussite (had to briefly flip protestant to form Prussia then flip back) he stacks so much Culture Conversion and years of separatism reduction that his build will allow for 90+% culture conversion cost reduction and like not even 5 years of separatism (it would be 100 on these things but the devs make sure there are hard limits on these modifiers). That way you can easily convert the entire world to one culture. It's admittedly pretty gamey and advanced, and the example I gave is just one possible use, but it opens up a world of possibilities. Iirc, it's still possible and super easy to form the lesser know tag of Ruthenia as Lithuania by just unstating a few non ruthenian culture states and making ruthenians your primary culture and getting admin 10 as another example.

in the beginning i always try to no CB a northern Nation to get -3 Stab. This lets you migrate very fast to safe up points. Afterwards your guide is gold! Thanks

[@PyroManiac637]

I would actually say that the Kamchadals are the easiest to play. With your first migration you can move to the Kurils. This immediately puts you in a position to conquer the Ainu, which is great because they have a grassland province which is perfect for developing feudalism. From there you can start invading Manchuria, culture shift to Manchurian, form Manchu, and then Qing. The only problem is protecting yourself from the Japanese.

[@AlzaboHD]

This is a good idea - Kamchadals island hopping never crossed my mind. Nice strategy!

[@Adam-ni6ne]

I don't know how feasible it is now, but my favorite Siberian strategy is actually just fucking off from Asia entirely and moving to the New World. If you devote all your resources to getting the exploration ideas, you can easily get to Alaska by the late 1400s. If you then move your capital to a completed colony there and sell your Siberian province to one of your neighbors there, you actually still migrate around like the Native American and Siberians. I tend to move my capital with them to where San Francisco is today and consolidate a strong home region in California, potentially getting a gold province or two early on if you're lucky. From there it is easy enough to conquer the Western half of the US without much resistance, and crush the European colonies with your home-continent advantage of not having to move troops all the way from Europe.
