I know it's supposed to be hard, but come on I worked for it 200 years, a Jewish playthrough seems easier. You now have 2k levies, your vassals hate you and give you 500 troops. You upgrade everything in your provinces. You afk another two hours to create the Empire of Russia. You finally have enough money to create the Kingdom. You just afk wait for the 0.50 tax per month to bring you to that 200 something gold. You lose more money moving troops around than you get sieging down all the mudholes around you. You try to gather money to create the Kingdom of Rus. You deal with being sorrounded by Summuonensko.
