I’d like to offer a critical view on the choice of Rurik as the ruler of Rus and Novgorod as its capital in this mod.

Historically, Rurik is a legendary and poorly documented figure. His story appears only in much later chronicles, and no reliable sources confirm his existence. Most historians see him as mythologized. At the same time, the Rus are first mentioned in the Annales Bertiniani in 839 - before Rurik’s supposed rule.

Choosing Novgorod as the capital is also questionable. Archaeology shows the city appeared only in the 10th century and had no major role in early Rus. The true core of Rus was in the middle Dnieper region, with Kyiv as its main center from at least the 10th century.

A more historically accurate setup would be to feature Kyiv and a documented ruler - such as Sviatoslav or Volodymyr. This would make the mod more immersive and respectful of real history.

Псевдоисторический свинский мод хрю хрю. Забавно как Русский Рюрик захватил походом из Новгорода, блядский Киев.

Возьму себе Трампа...буду редкоземельные ископаемые забирать :))))

О, у свиней из руин как всегда своя реальность, классика, так сказать баZа

Hello, is it possible to change in game music of this civ? Now there is a russian theme playing and i would like to change it to Norway's theme, how can i do it?

Представляю, как обидно этому гусю с ником: "Просто Царь". Он кукарекал за "Русь", а тут на тебе, изменили название мода на Kyiv, по правописанию всего цивилизованного мира))

з.ы.Мод добавил. Буду играть против Петра 1. И всегда буду войной побеждать.

Special district doesn't work and won't allow you to build upgrades, why copy a mod to make it worse?

Ладно если Рюрик, хотя он легендарный персонаж, не факт что он существовал. Но Новгород не может быть первым городом. Киев старше и был единственным стольным градом Руси

Боже, жертвы ЕГЭ....

На московии считают что они каким то боком относяться к Киевской Руси, украли название и даже не понимают что когда Киевская Русь переживала свой золотой век, московии еще не существовало

пхахахаха ну що що, а РОДНОВЄРІЄ - це крінж. А Рюрика взагалі не існувало

Киев НАШ

Сколько не чиркай, а всё равно - Русь ;)
Да здравствует Триединая Русь! Да здравствует Империя!
Привет с остатков Украины, славяне!

Ахахахаа, обиженный селюк слизал и напысав Кийив. Отакойи!

Is a downgraded copy of the original mods.

Стёпа, ты там осторожнее, а то потом ещё будешь нам отстраивать те города, которые вы нам 7 лет бомбили. Победа то наша близка😏
Да и смотри, а то у вас там насильно в армию забирают, не то что в России

свинособаки тут как тут, ничего нового

кыивскую рус придумали в 19 веке по приколу, не

Тот случай, когда ничего своего создать не могут, а то, что было ненавидят.
У такого народа нет будущего.
Чё, Мыкола, 3D модель почёркать не вышло, не научили на майдане?

Can you please fix the mod, we cannot build more than 2 cities, Bogatyrs cannot be upgraded or healed and this is game breaking, also, a concise and clear guide for people who want to use your mod would be useful as i worked it out after about 5x restart trial and error. cheers.

Russny1a S0sat, поки Київ стояв, вас тоді ще не придумали

Could I please suggest a mod that would change the Scythian colour/jersey scheme to yellow and blue?

Weaponized Smirk, how's your "kick Ukraine's ass in 3 days" doing? I am worried for you being silent for 3 weeks already

May i suggest changing the city list to more historically accurate? I can send you one if you want. Also can you change music to Norway or something? Hearing fucking "kalinka-malinka" is exhausting.

I only tried this so I could kick Ukraine's ass.

Hi here,
Thank you for the mod.
I do see that there are some minor bugs in the City names department: there are some duplicates like Chernihiv AND Chernigov, duplicated Suzdal etc.
Seems like this is coming from one of the origin mods you have uses as a starting point.
Could you please check and fix when you have time.

@SAmid

That doesn't make any sense. If you play YnAMP's Giant Earth map, there will be no problem. You're not using Merrick's Keiv Rus mod together, are you? If you use it together, there's a problem

Doesn't work with YNAMP TSL, sadly

@kotiash1989
It's because original mod is based on Harald III Hardrada. So audio is his audio.
And Rurik based in Novgorod. So I already explain in this page how you can change the capital to Kyiv.
And please use English when you communicate with other countries people.

@Adonis Gaming
Okay~ nice

Looks like unsubscribing and re-subscribing reset it and now everything is working fine!

тай чому лідер нації несе якусь не зрозумілу тарабаршіну, а не говорить Українською???

якого біса столиця новгород а не київ????????

@Adonis Gaming
Thanks bro
I don't understand. Do you subscribe it exactly and play game?
How about you use the mode manager mod?

hey don't listen to the haters.... this mod is great!

However it seems to not show up at all. It does not appear in the mod list so I can't enable it?

Thank you for making this mod though <3 hopefully it works soon

Sorry Everyone now I fix error

Doesn't work. pls repair

Doesn't work.

казалось бы при чем здесь Украина?

Не работает к сожалению.

Kyiv not Kiev

Doesn't work. Delete this sh*t

mod is broken wont load even when its the only mod activated so its not a conflict with another mod

Mod does not load, even when all other mods are disabled

@ZEDTH

yeah finno-ugrics and vikings named a city novgorod which literally means new city in slavic

Typical Russian mythology. Nogorod, like Russian today was mostly Ugro-Finn ethnicity. And Kyiv was of mostly Slavic. Rurik was Norman, who represents "one" tsar-like mythic figure. In fact he was one of many Viking war-lords, who conquered lands of Finns and Slavic. These bandits were called Rus, thus today's rogue name.

Kyiv was not founded by Rus-Vikings, but was conquered by one of that bands.

Completely idiotic mod.

@WedgeUA is the smartest person on steam

If I'm not mistaken, this is a mod for CivV, not VI

Кляті кацапи всунули свого носа. Який сцуко кремль????

Mod is not working.

Hi. Mode do not works. Every time when starts a game with this mode - the game says: there is an error in loading game because of one of the mods.
