Smuta

The Smuta, also known as the Second Time of Troubles or the Russian Anarchy, refers to the current political situation in Russia, which is divided between governments of various political stripes seeking to reunify the country under their vision. Its name recalls a similar time of chaos in Russian history during the early 17th century.

In-Game Description

History does not repeat itself...but it sure rhymes. We are living in the Second Time of Troubles - with all the chaos, blood, and wars that come with it. Pages of Russian history are being written as the bullets fly - and who are we to become another footnote?

Gameplay

In game, Smuta refers to a gameplay mechanic available to all Russian governments with content other than the ones in the Southern Urals. The gameplay mechanic allows various governments to declare war on one another and start the process of reunifying the shattered Russian landscape.

In this mechanic, two meters must be maintained: Supply and Chaos. Supply is a currency-like mechanic required to declare war on the other warlords and to assist in acquiring buffs such as increased breakthrough or defence for units during combat. Chaos, meanwhile, affects stability and war support. Too much Chaos may lead to severe debuffs, potentially leading to ruin.

Completing relevant focuses and decisions can help influence the mechanic.

After the Smuta, the unifier who has conquered the region will enter the Regional Stage. The regional unifier begins solidifying its position in the regional tree, building up military forces, boosting the economy, and appealing for international recognition. It is at this stage that the US and the CIA can begin sending financial, technical and military aid to friendly warlords, whilst Germany and the HVA can sabotage reunification efforts. Additionally, a West Russian or West Siberian Unifier will begin the race for the Southern Urals after completing their initial tree. Meanwhile, the Central Siberian or Far Eastern Unifier will usually be caught in diplomatic battles for influence between America and Japan.

Subsequently, after the two main regions have been unified, they will enter the Superregional Stage. The two remaining states will either begin to arm themselves for the final showdown or through diplomacy.

Lastly, once the Russian unifier has annexed the other through force or diplomacy, they will finish solidifying themselves as the new government of Russia. Afterwards, the Russian unifier will declare war on Germany to retake Moscow and other areas in the Second West Russian War.
