Europa Universalis IV: Third Rome

2017
Real Time Strategy (RTS)SimulatorStrategy

Historical

Third Rome transforms the Russian region from a sprawling backwater into a dynamic engine of faith and conquest. Its central mechanic, the Siberian Frontier, allows you to colonize eastward automatically, creating a relentless, snowballing expansion that feels both historically plausible and deeply satisfying. This DLC layers on unique Orthodox Church mechanics and powerful national ideas, making a Muscovy campaign less about managing disparate provinces and more about forging a divine, autocratic empire through systemic, snow-covered momentum.
