Historical modification about Ruthenia (other names: Rus, Kievan Rus) in 13th Century.
Finally a mod about the rus.
Bug-free
Many intriguing details that one comes to appreciate only gradually.
A rough start for an adventurer.

Its an exceptional mod and one I didnt even know existed till I spotted it in the credits of "Deeds Of Arms and Chivalry". It has incredible attention to detail and historical authenticity, which as a historian I am fascinated in.
Now I dont know a whole lot about the history of the region but it has enticed me to delve into it. The translations to English is impeccable aswell and make it almost hard to tell it was made by Russians. Battles feel great and have a proper heavy weight to them as do the units, and there is also a huge diversity of units for each faction. Im well impressed!
Some detail is good,but some detail could improve.
Good mod. Focuses specifically on Russia in the middle ages. Warning: Difficult. Contains Mongol invasions! Better played in Russian.
PROs:
+ Unique factions with historical names (though I find them incredibly hard to remember and pronoun)
+ Incredible detail on the units, towns and castles, and the world map, etc.
+ Some unique features that I haven't found in other mods.
CONs:
- Minor (non-gamebreaking) bugs.
- Poor English translation.
- Factions colours are too similar making them difficult to tell apart.
- Some companions do not have their stories updated for the mod.
- One instance of a CTD when attempting to finish a task.
- Not quite compatible with Mac/Linux.
