Billed as the "first immersion pack" for the grand strategy it focuses on deepening the experience players can enjoy controlling Russia and its cultural neighbours. It includes new ways of doing so spiritually, politically and militarily as you build toward the mighty Russian Empire.
"Navigate new interactions with the Orthodox Patriarchate to convert piety into political power, expand the power of the state with new government ranks, levy powerful new military units and colonize the Siberian frontier as you aspire to claim your seat as Tsar."
Third Rome feature highlights:
• Tsardoms and Principalities: New ranks of Russian government with new abilities and, for Tsars, strong bonuses including the right to claim entire States – not just provinces.
• Iconography: Commission great religious icons for the Orthodox church, boosting your empire’s power depending on the saint you choose to revere.
• Metropolitans: Consecrate highly developed provinces with Metropolitans, adding to the authority of the Orthodox church, but for a cost.
• Streltsy: Special Russian soldiers that excel in combat, but raise the cost of stabilizing your empire
• Siberian Frontier: Russian nations can slowly colonize uninhabited border regions, with no fear of native uprisings
