New ways of war
19 of December 1887
Aleksey Brusilov watched the field with a critical eye analyzing every detail so that he could give his tsar a good report on everything he had watched. As things were the army needed to adapt and fight with new strategies and tactics no longer were forming a line and advancing towards the enemy possible with the invention of machineguns who could keep firing continually as long as they had ammunition.
Guns had advanced to much and with the new system of trenches, if a fight couldn't be won fast enough then thing were going to become a complete slaughter for both sides, as assaulting trenches who were things that required you two face both artillery, rifles, machineguns and the new additions sharpshooters who could kill men from a much larger distance than usual.
Perhaps what hurt the most was how his beloved cavalry would have to change, the image of the horses after they were spooked and charged a machinegun had made him realized that a charge was now impossible and they would have to take another roll in the army.
He now knew that if somebody went to war in Europe then it was going to be hell on earth.

Wasn't Tesla's thing the electric car or will this take time and good rolls to make?

Wow, I can't believe I didn't discover this gem sooner!
I love the premise of the game, as world history in the hands of a different Nicholas II would have changed everything. Russia gaining Hawaii alone is a huge deal, as now Russia's naval forces can use Hawaii as a naval staging point to deploy all across the Pacific. If the Russians have to go to war with the Japanese any time soon, Hawaii will alter the strategic picture immensely. We should build up Hawaii into a major naval base, like the OTL US did.
And Tesla is just broken! The major developments in electrical power and infrastructure at least makes sense bc of Tesla's OTL talent and creativity with electricity, but the huge leaps forward with vehicles and airplanes is slightly OP. Its really cool to see though, now RUSSIA will be the innovators, while everyone will lag behind them!
Anyways, love whats up already, and look forward to more.

Electric cars were feasible the moment they were conceived as an idea, people just didn't fund it because it would make oil irrelevant in the automobile industry.

Tesla is broken the man got so many crits that he is driving me insane with the research on technology i now have to do
that's going to be covered in the news form the world update that starting in after roll 6 results.
on the subject of cars and public transportation, I'm going to put both in terms of options for you to develop and choose what to research more, electric cars will become an option in turn 6.
as a reminder event rolls are going to start happening from next update and in terms of crit the requirement will go from 90 to 95 in turn 8 or 9. Progress on economics is going slow so I doubt it will come into play before the beginning of part 2 which starts in 1900.

Pure awesome,now we just need to prepare for WW1 and make damn well
Sure that the second one does not become a thing, also build up Russia into a true hyper power with our sheer industrial and military might.
Walk softly and carry a big gun indeed.
Plus we can then go full hedge on in electrical cars and such, gear a early start on reducing demand on oil and using it as a export so we can control our rival nations.

I do sympathize, there's a lot of tech out there. I have a link to my Research Tech list in my signature, feel free to use anything there if it might help. Page 2 is where the updated tech lists are kept.
They'll be shitting bricks that Russia just acquired the lynchpin of the Pacific?
Possibly researching better batteries might be a good prerequisite for electric cars, just saying. The batteries back then weren't that good.
That's a good change about the crits, they shouldn't be so easy to acquire.
Concerning WW1:
- Properly heavily fortifying the western Russian border against any European onslaught. That should include emplaced artillery batteries, airfields with Russian air forces, and tank brigade deployment centers a bit farther back from the front lines.
- Focus on modernizing the Russian Navy first, then expanding it. And build up the Hawaiian Islands into a major naval base, it definitely needs to be defended from both the US and potentially Japan.
- We'll need a large air force, and ideally to stay one step ahead of advancement compared to the western powers.
Concerning Industry/Infrastructure:
- We'll need to push advancing educational standards, and building more public schools, colleges, universities, and technical/engineering schools.
- We need to seriously push for improved medical infrastructure, many more hospitals and clinics, as well as medical schools and institutes to teach those who would staff them. Focusing on poaching the best European talent should be a priority.
- More factories, and building them behind the Ural mountains like was done in WW2 when the Nazis invaded the USSR would be a good idea. Heck, keep the original western factories, and just building concentrated industry behind the Urals would double our industrial output!
- A major focus on advancing the quality of our factories is important as well. And building in basic things like filters for smokestacks and such should substantially cut down on pollution.
- Instead of just the one Trans-Siberian railroad, there should be a second one as well, cutting through more northern Siberian territories and running to the tip of Anadyr by the Bering Straight to provide full coverage of all of Russia and Siberia. This will vastly accelerate industrial development and colonization of Siberia in later years.
- While railroads should be our major push for now, building proper highways would enhance transportation and mobility even further. The US Interstate Highway system has provided a LOT of economic and military bonuses to the US, Russia should do the same, but maybe on a slightly smaller scale initially.
Research:
- Getting mechanized agriculture up and running (McCormick reapers to all of Russia's farmers, for instance) would vastly improve food production.
- Improved urban sewer design should boost the health and cleanliness of Russian cities, as well as making it easier to expand them later on. Expensive, but sewers are always worth it. Developing methods of basic sewage filtration would be a good idea too, head off polluting Russian lands too badly.
- Radar is definitely a huge deal (the Battle of Britain proved just how useful that will be), as is sonar for naval forces. We should push for this.
- Oh, and we know just how paradigm-breaking aircraft carriers are, we can push for that decades before anybody else.
Probably, we'll need to develop a KGB-like organization to fend everybody else off Russia's shinies.

Well, I was thinking taking over the Ottoman Empire and Saudi Arabia would be a great start towards getting all that Middle Eastern oil that iusn't technically coveted yet by every nation on earth. We play our cards right...could be very good times for us.
then lets wait until the war is over and without Russia the France and British will suffer more loses then we make our move and take lands in Europe and the Middle East
