There's even more broken staff with Russia (and with any monarchy). 1) denarginalize the Intelligencia. 2) remove its leader to make him an agitator (in most cases he starts Cultural exclusion movement cause he is a reformer) 3) make Intelligencia angry to -10 4) When radicalism of this movement becomes 50 (it's easy to do, I always has it to the summer 1836), a revolution will trigger. 5) then move nobles and church to the power and abdicate the thrown and select Persidencial republic (there is that option if you are a monarchy and have a revolution movement) 6) as a result you will instantly pass Cultural exclusion and Presidential republic and the nobles and the church will get -90% influence. 7) but the movement will still be active. So move the nobles and the church to the government again and reseign the office. 8) You will get a second event and second time choose the option to pass a Parlamentary republic and another -90% influence for the nobles and the Church. So at the first half a year you will have cultural exclusion, parlamentary republic and righteous government with 30-40% of influence of Intelligencia and Military and 0% influence for the nobles and and church for a few years. You can easily pass the Professional Army, the Homesteading, the Total Separation and the Appointed Burocrates (cause rightous government and full aithority will give you a 30-60 days for a step for these laws with 30-70% of success on the start). In the best scenario you may pass the Censos Sufrage and destroy the nobles and the church forever. It's completely broken and OP.

Russia is honestly such a good nation to play, I might need to try it again with the firing generals trick

[@peterbc6129]

I wanted to bring up something which can help people who don't want to try to run the Corn Law strategy (because it can be somewhat self destructive if it takes too long for the Market Liberal to spawn). If you do the Alexander II strategy, and then remove the head of the Gentry, there is a scripted Protectionist who takes over. Protectionists don't oppose economic or trade reform, so you can get rid of Mercantalism, as well as generally have a good chance (due to getting high Approval from them), getting rid of Serfdom, at least down to Tenant Farming. So long as you're off Serfdom, you can remove Traditionalism. Additionally, it seems Russia has scripted leaders for the Gentry. As right after this Protectionist, comes a Market Liberal. I have tried this multiple times, and it's the same. Just get him in power ASAP, and start the clock ticking to get the Market Liberal. Certainly, not exceptionally fast, but it allows you to modernize almost 30+ years earlier I've found. Faster if you happen to get a duelling event RNG.

14:15 Paradox is very aware of this exploit.

Before the game even released. "But we can use it for gameplay while it's still in", or something along those lines is what I think Daniel said.

[@TheKaltezar]

To feel less cheesy about the general stuff, you can promote all generals and admirals you have at campaign start and that are from Gentry Assembly to level 5. Do your wars with Persia and Qing and fire some of them when Aleksandr is in age to rule. A level 5 Gentry Assembly's general fired is -6 approval. Level 5 Admiral is -5. With that, you don't even have to lose law cooldown time at Army Professionalism or remove rivalry with GB (if you are playing the Great Game, you want to keep this rivalry).

[@zeinwahab9986]

[@anarmasimli]

I tried to follow you up step-by-step, but by May 1839, Russia was already in ruins))) 1) My armies in Argentina were unsuccessful. Somehow, they went further deep off the coast and lost their connection to the ocean. 2) Also, an agitator for homesteading appeared, and I accepted the demand. Then hell fired for demanding serfdom. The aristocratic revolution tore down Russia but on the bright sight, Nikolai abdicated.

I find that if u try to push for tenant farmers first as it gives way less grain compared to serfdom from subsistence, which makes it almost a given to pass corn laws (with changing your farms as well if needed) and has the added benefit of being able to immediately getting rid of traditionalism right after. u can always just restart if it fails, as u only lose like 3 years. Then I usually go for homesteading as it brings back up the grain from subsistence to the same level as serfdom while beginning to weaken the Landowners. from there the world is your oyster.

Funnily enough, they actually can't patch the general trick because if they don't set it to no limit, then people can use the general trick to roll the leader they want without any penalty. Especially if you can keep them happy while doing it because there's a limit on. The penalty. Essentially it's a pick your poison moment for them.

What they should actually do is having a Generals pool that refresh every 5 years. During the 5 years one can hire any leader in the pool (not just choosing the least worse of 3) and leaders hired wont be replaced. Maybe increase the size of the pool with techs. Fixed both issues.
