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.
