Hello, and welcome to the third installment of Tinto Flavour, the happy Fridays in which we look at the flavour content of the super secret Project Caesar! This week we will be traveling to the cold north, where the Sovereign Lord Republic of Velikiy Novgorod lies beside Lake Ilmen:
Grand Prince Ivan Rurikovich I ‘Kalita’ of Muscovy is the Prince elected by the Council of Novgorod. As usual, please consider the UI, 2D and 3D art as WIP.
And here are the lands of Veliky Novgorod:
Today with a different camera angle!
This is the starting situation of Novgorod:
Pskov and Oreshek, the two first shown in the subject list, are vassals. The other subjects are pop-based tributaries; we need some work to make them visible on this screen. Besides that, Muscovy and the other countries with a similar color share a PU with Novgorod throughout their ruler, Ivan I.
Let’s now take a look at Novgorod itself. The first thing is the country's government type, which is a Republic. As per that, and Novgorod’s main culture belonging to the Russian culture group, two different things get unlocked. The first is a major government reform, the Veche Republic:
The second is this Age of Traditions advance:
This in turn unlocks the Veche Selection, a succession law that allows your country to select the ruler among neighboring countries:
You might have noticed that Estates are important and powerful in the governance of Novgorod. This is also reflected in the unique privileges it starts with, with 3 unique privileges for Nobility:
And one for Burghers:
There are also some unique policies. The first is for the Legal Code law:
And the second is for the Administrative System Law:
Novgorod also has some unique works of art, such as:
This will reappear later in this Tinto Flavour, keep an eye on it!
And a type of work of art that is unique to Orthodox and Miaphysite countries, the Icon:
Speaking of Orthodoxy, there’s some Orthodox-related stuff that I’m just going to tease, as we will talk in detail about this in a future Tinto Talks, like this Law available to all Orthodox countries:
Patriarchates, a concept that you will either love or hate as an Orthodox country!
Now let’s move into taking a look at some of the unique advances that are available to Novgorod:
The last one unlocks another unique government reform, after it has been researched during the Age of Renaissance:
Finally, let’s take a look at some of the events that Novgorod may get. The first appears early in the campaign, after an event that triggers to Sweden:
Shall we debate with Swedish about theology, or just forward them for a Byzantine debate?
Another one that may trigger early on is this one:
These Swedes are troublemakers!
This is an event you will get to expand the Cathedral of St. Sophia, with an option to start constructing a building on top of the WoA:
This is another event that you can get after 1400:
That will unlock a new government reform, that will replace the Veche Republic as your main government reform:
…And much more content will be available for Novgorod, but that’s all for today! I hope you enjoyed today’s Tinto Flavour, next week we will be taking a look at Mali, the land of Mansa Musa! Cheers!
