No they didn't. 1 government reform: great veche republic, being able to form Republican Russia, allowed estates - that's all they added.

Btw on my profile picture is the real symbol of Novgorod, which should be made their flag in game. This symbol - half-lion, half-horse was depicted on Novgorodian coins. Currently in game the flag of Novgorod is coat of arms that was made during the reign of Catherine "the Great", literally a monarchist symbol that has nothing to do with Novgorodian Republic.

As far as I'm aware the high relations with Scotland allowing you to take an alliance is historically accurate for Novogrod. Scottish merchants had a noticeable presence in the Baltic and Novogrod specifically granted them several privileges to facilitate favorable trading relations.

Why you people insist on calling Novgorod "novogrod". It hurts my eyes, because I am born and raised in Nizhny Novgorod.

Glad to see flavor being added to all the regions that were lacking in this dlc. Hoping they continue by fleshing out Lithuania and paganism more

[@LilGamingYes]

@@compatriot852 I would find it odd too, I'd personally like it if they did a small update on every religions at once instead of focusing on a single region/religion group at a time. It could even be included in a mentionned Great Powers DLC (or in its free patch), seeing how that one won't focus on a specific part of the map.

[@Aleex7m]

16:00 Seems like Ludi didnt realize that he already had a border with Lithuania before the 2nd war with Muscovy. So he could have taken land from Lithuania if he peaced out the livonian Order first

[@bobfrank9267]

Another strategy is to ally Poland. Just don't take land that they or Lithuania want before you don't need them to beat up Muscovy anymore. While allied to Poland you don't have to worry about Muscovy declaring either as you have the larger combined army. You can then get some other allies that want land from Muscovy and declare war when you're ready.

[@travon937]

Ludi! What government reforms should I pick as Novgorod-Russia!?

[@Times_Ticking]

Paradox tossed Muscovy a huge bonus for this game. At start on 11 Nov 1444, Muscovy should be in a disastrous war against the tartars. Vasily II was taken prisoner in 1445. But Paradox being Paradox just glosses over this historic fact. Devastated lands? nope! Succession issues? nope! White peace with Kazan? nope! But let's start Poland and Hungary in an interregnum (because that's historic).

[@navarroswerus2609]

Ludi, how you're handling govern capacity in the new patch? I've been cripled by the debuff on Admin efficiency on a couple of games for expanding too fast

[@efulmer8675]

There's estate privileges you can give that provide +100 governing capacity for each estate you hand them out to, but after that going for Administrative ideas or sacrificing some government reform progress may be the only way to get meaningfully more.

[@javierzurera986]

I saw Arumba chain the trade casus belli wars with the moscovites to keep the truce going at the cost of some gold. You think it's still a valid strategy? With the increased income in this patch and all

Sadly Novgorod was never interested in forming Russia. They had a great chance to became a leader of Russian unification in 14 century but they simply were like: eh what the hell do I need this for? I'll better sit stil and have some nice trade with Germans from Hansa. This is why people gathered around another centre - Moscow.
