Historical modification about Ruthenia (other names: Rus, Kievan Rus) in 13th Century.
one of the best mods.
Bug-free
Many intriguing details that one comes to appreciate only gradually.
A rough start for an adventurer.
No freelancer
Have enjoyed manyhours of play
Finally a mod about the rus.
BRILLIANT
The mod is hard at the beginning. You don't have money for anything. You can't participate in the tournaments at first, because you have to bring your weapons to it. You simply don't stand a chance against those exellent equipped knights. Looting works different, you have to search the battlefield for loot and it takes time. Just like raiding someone's village. Oh and recruting villagers is no more. The mod is different from the others. It's hard but rewarding. It was a great feeling to put my first chainmail on, taking that bearded axe facing the group of sea-raiders. But this time i was the last man standing on the battlefield.
Really damn good. It's like if 1257AD focused on a single region, and it's bloody great. There is so much detail in everything, from the locations to the mechanics to the weapons and armour. I love the little tidbits of historical info that come with some of the equipment, and just how huge the world feels. There is much troop diversity, hell, you can hire English knights and Byzantine cataphracts :D . Only real issues are a few glitches here and there and the somewhat iffy English translation. Keep up the good work mod authors!
