Kievan Rus - Winning

 I've placed this entry early for two reasons. Firstly, the point of playing any game is to 'win'. How one defines that term may vary from person to person. Even an unending game that brings satisfaction can be seen as a win.

The second reason is these blogs are a work in progress. I have not seen anything to help new players grasp the concepts of the game, so this is a record of successes in the hopes that victory will be realized and will leave a trail for others to follow and improve upon. If there is a comprehensive guide anywhere, please feel free to leave links in the comments sections.

In the Statistics command (main menu) is a tab labelled "1". This screen displays Military Victory... captured countries ??/74 as well as  Religious Victory ... countries confessing our religion ??/75 & colonies confessing our religion ??/117.

At time of writing, I am pursuing a Military Victory since converting the world religion looks rather daunting. Maybe later. I have defeated and annexed 18 states including the strongest. The remaining states although many, are significantly weaker. To grow in military strength you need three things: Tech research; Troops in large numbers and a very strong economy. These will be covered individually.
