Form them, keep your ideas (but take their missions), and you can get another -5% dev cost permanently very early on (just dev 3 provinces in slavonia to 10 and culture switch to croatian if you don't start with it).Īnother good negative modifier to stack (esp. If you want go truly tall, you can get -20% dev cost in your ideas and start somewhere near Croatia. Cheaper advisors is also among the best ideas to increase your mana generation since skill in MP has a lot to to with how well can you generate mana and how efficienly you use it Dev cost reduction is absolute gold to push your MP even higher, it breaks the game with MP in ides, Orthodoxy and Tsardom, Manpower in ideas to stack with Tsardom is the way to go, especially since you can't take any army quality ideas You are also close to the steppes which will be your main place to develop with the cossack privileges. Novgorod node is actually quite good to defend and can be quite rich, also easier to conquer into Orthodox lands. Tsardom is the best government type, better than Prussian gov since it helps with blobbing(+ gov cap) increases your MP and gives you amazing buttons to play with Orthodox is self-explanatory, best religion in vanilla, hands down, Orthodox Tsardom in Novgorod node with manpower and Dev cost reduction in ideas together with cheaper advisors. But sometimes you just need immediate manpower and drilling allows you to bank it. The scaling buff to fire/shock damage is definitely nice too. The only truly good threshold buffs you get from professionalism are refill garrison and reduced morale damage taken by reserves so you often don't want to slacken if you have 40% or 80% professionalism. If you have very high base manpower, it can give a ton on just one pop of slacken (2 years of manpower is a lot). Slacken recruitment is how late game wars are fought. MP definitely has more of this downtime than SP because it's hard to expand into players and you need time to do diplomacy.

If you've basically maxed out your economy and don't have an immediate conquest objective (or if you're fighting a war that doesn't require the whole army), it's worthwhile to drill. If you don't have buildings/manufactories, it's probably better not to drill + reduce maintenance and save for those.
