Into the Renaissance – Russia Strategy (Emperor)<\/h1>\n

The Mongol invasion of “Russia”<\/a> in the 13th century significantly influenced modern history. Bottom line: Without it the Muscovy Duchy would not have become predominant in the lands Russia covers today. It was only the Mongol or Tatar “yoke” that eventually unified the Rus and its small Duchies. Actually the “yoke” wasn’t even that bad – the Mongols were tolerant (or indifferent) to religion and their rule wasn’t cruel. Nonetheless the invasion, the battles fought and won by the Mongols, and their initial pillaging of dozens of Russian cities caused the population to drop from 7.5M to only 7M people at the end of the Mongol rule.<\/p>\n

The Yokes on the Mongols<\/h2>\n

\"RichardUnlocked: 2 Nov 2014 @ 3:56pm<\/p>\n

Win as Russia on Emperor or above in the Into the Renaissance scenario.<\/p>\n

Now to win this scenario you don’t necessarily have to defeat the Mongols. Your main objective is to win. I’ve read of several ways to do so: Settling closer to Europe in the start to avoid tension with the Mongols and several more. None of those worked for me on Deity difficulty… Also I wanted to put the yokes on the Mongols instead of just “living in peace and harmony with them”…<\/p>\n

Russia on Deity – Failed attempts<\/h2>\n

1st Deity attempt: Meeting them on the field<\/h3>\n

In my first attempt I built my empire as usually (compare to other Into the Renaissance strategy guides<\/a>) and tried to compete with the spawning Mongols on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

\"Civilization <\/a>
Quite an OK city <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Civilization <\/a>
Mongolia’s initial army <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Civilization <\/a>
Intercept settlers! <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Of course I did the usual stuff when it comes to dealing with opponents before the map is fully settled: Staying mobile, scanning the map, locating settlers and capturing them before they can found another city. But even though I did my best and got several settlers, the Mongols managed to found some cities in the south and soon enough created an overwhelming army:<\/p>\n

\"Civilization <\/a>
Mongol Realm <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Civilization <\/a>
Settlers kept coming <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Civilization <\/a>
Overwhelmed by the Mongols <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

2nd Deity attempt: Occupying the spawn area<\/h3>\n

As you can see below, blocking the spawn area doesn’t help at all. The Mongols merely spawn further North.<\/p>\n

\"Civilization <\/a>
Block the Spawn Area <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Civilization <\/a>
They just spawned North <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Update:<\/strong> Finally I succeeded on Deity difficulty, defeating the Mongols and dominating eastern Europe. Check out the dedicated post -> Into the Renaissance – Russia Strategy (Deity)<\/a><\/p>\n

Yokes on the Mongols – Success on Emperor Difficulty<\/h1>\n

After failing several times on Deity difficulty, I just stopped experimenting and switched to Emperor difficulty (I never play lower than this). In the first attempt, using the experience from the Deity games, I succeeded both in defeating the Mongols, but also winning the game.<\/p>\n

The Russian Unique Traits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Cossack<\/th>\nKrepost<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
The Russian Cossack replaces normal Cavalry and comes with only one change: It receives a +33% bonus against damaged enemy units. The Cossack is incredibly powerful in supporting your offense, backed by veteran Crossbowmen.<\/p>\n

Another great thing: The bonus not only triggers while attacking, but also defending.<\/td>\n

The Krepost reduces Culture and Gold “cost” of acquiring new tiles around this city by 25%. Especially in the early game this is very powerful, as your cities’ area grows much faster.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Aside of one powerful unit<\/strong> and one powerful building<\/strong> Russia is blessed with the most amazing unique ability in the Into the Renaissance scenario:<\/p>\n

Lay of Igor’s Campaign<\/em> provides all land combat units with +1 movement. It also allows them to enter any tile adjacent to a river for just 1 movement point. You have to see it to believe it: Russian bowmen move two tiles across hills and forests adjacent to a river and still have a third movement point to fire.<\/p>\n

Altogether the Russian unique traits are really powerful and make it super fun to play Russia. Of course facing the Mongols you’ll need all the benefits you can get!<\/p>\n

Social Policies<\/h3>\n
\"Civilization<\/a>
Social Policies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If I remember correctly, I followed my pretty much default path for Into the Renaissance:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Liberty<\/li>\n
  2. Republic<\/li>\n
  3. Collective Rule (getting the free settler immediately)<\/li>\n
  4. Citizenship (for the free worker, your second)<\/li>\n
  5. Tradition (for +3 culture in the capital)<\/li>\n
  6. Legalism (free culture buildings)<\/li>\n
  7. Honor (from here: complete the Honor tree)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step 1 – Containing the Mongols<\/h2>\n

    This time my strategy guide is only a picture story. I’m doing this both due to the fact it’s Emperor difficulty “only” and due to the time that has passed (I played this in October 2014 and post this October 2016).<\/p>\n

    The first step is containing the Mongols. Peacefully there’s only two ways: Owning the land so they can not pass or blocking the land with your units. I did both:<\/p>\n

    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Mongol Spawn <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Block the Mongol settlers <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Settlers are slower in forests <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

    Use everything you have: Workers, Scouts, Military. Block mainly open terrain. Lock Mongol settlers on forests, where they can only move slower.<\/p>\n

    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Focus on Settlers <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    The Chain is closed <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Golden Horde <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

    Step 2 – Subjugating the Mongols<\/h2>\n

    Defeating the Mongols is a different beast than merely containing them. As usually in this scenario enemy AI with all it’s bonuses will grow significantly stronger with every turn. When the Mongols founded their 3rd city at the chain of units blocking them, I attacked.<\/p>\n

    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Almost lost Rostov <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Citadel <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Battle of Rostov <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

    Whilst the Battle of Rostov was raging, I advanced in the south. Also: Focus on the melee units, as Mongolian unique units can not capture cities!<\/p>\n

    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Second War <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Attack Mongolia <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Contain Mongolia <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

    Eventually after the second (maybe even third?) war, Mongolia was defeated:<\/p>\n

    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Good for Russia <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Last days of Mongolian Dominance <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
    \"Civilization <\/a>
    Two Enemies fight each other <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

    Step 3 – Scoring VP against Turkey, Sweden and Austria<\/h2>\n

    Now Mongolia is defeated. But how about the score? Eventually one has to win<\/strong> the scenario as Russia to get the Steam achievement. There’s three obvious targets and no other way to score:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. some City States and Sweden to the west (mostly Catholic, so good for Victory Points)<\/li>\n
    2. Austria<\/a> (Catholic) and Byzantium<\/a> (Orthodox) to the southwest<\/li>\n
    3. Turkey<\/a> (Muslim) to the south<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Byzantine Fleet <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Bribe Ayyubids vs Ottomans <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Peace for many Cities <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Marching through Caucasus <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Swedish Attack <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Austria + Byzantium <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Battles in the Baltics <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Russian veterans in Turkey <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      15 THOUSAND !!! <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

      Focus on Turkey<\/a> mainly: It follows a different religion, so you’ll get a lot of VP and the Caucasus is a choke point from where you can finish their army and then advance into their country.<\/p>\n

      Sweden and Austria<\/a> are also welcome opponents as they’re Catholic. Obviously your front will be very wide fighting them. So you’ll face much more resistance, as they’ll throw everything they have at you.<\/p>\n

      Try not to mess with Byzantium<\/a> too much. In the end they follow your religion (Orthodoxy), so you won’t get VP from their cities.<\/p>\n

      Winning the game and getting the Yokes on the Mongols Steam Achievement<\/h3>\n
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Russian Turkey <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Biggest. Land. Ever. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Russian Heartland <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      FINALLY! <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
      \"Civilization <\/a>
      Russian Baltic <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Yokes on the Mongols (Emperor) – Conclusion<\/h1>\n
      \"Civilization<\/a>
      Expansion of the Russian Empire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      18 hours playing time, not counting the various failed Deity attempts. Playing Russia in the “Into the Renaissance” scenario to get the Yokes on the Mongols Steam achievement is a tough nut to crack!!! Dealing with the Mongols is an incredible challenge. It requires excellent city management and honed military tactics both in war and peace.<\/p>\n

      The final score was quite low for Emperor difficulty: “Only” 7800, resulting in a normalized score of 11,877. Compared to the Netherlands Deity win<\/a> – nothing!<\/p>\n

      Overall getting this achievement might very well have been the biggest satisfaction this scenario has to offer. And like usually this makes up for the frustration of all failed attempts. So if you’re looking for the ultimate Civilization V<\/a> challenge: Play this one on Deity and deal with the Mongols! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
