Overview
The Russians start with one city and potential to expand. Their large steppes can be tough to defend, but they do have a cavalry-oriented army. They also need to be wary of Mongol and Timurid invasions. However if Russia can defend its borders and withstand the invaders the way is open in any direction, with a powerful mobile army.
Starting Position
Russia starts with only a single settlement to the far North of the campaign map, near the Baltic Sea.
Their city is;
- Novogord: Town - Capital
Victory Conditions
- Long Campaign: Hold 45 provinces including Constantinople and Jerusalem.
- Short Campaign: Hold 15 provinces and destroy or outlast Poland and Hungary.
