Historical modification about Ruthenia (other names: Rus, Kievan Rus) in 13th Century.
One of my top 3 MODs for Warband... too bad that after some time it seems to keep crashing.
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!
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!
