1674
after almost a decade of war, the grand principality of muscovy emerged victorious. it is now time to strengthen its rule in its newly acquired northern provinces.

winter of 1673. the little ice age won't stop.
millions of people died. but on the other hand: some of my levies have little christmas hats :3

so many people are dying on both sides. i'm winning, but not as hard as i want to. if only novgorod accepted my very fair peace offer then a lot of this blood wouldn't be spilled right now

are you kidding me

summer of 1665 (little ice age)
the summer invasion of 1665 starts with a massive offensive to the capital of novgorod. the goal is to siege it down before the great russian winter hits and decimates my forces
