Instead of a preface

Despite the period rich in various historical events, there are very few modifications dedicated to medieval Russia. There is an incredibly beautiful in terms of models and poor in terms of gameplay mod RUSICHI: TOTAL WAR, there is certainly a good but damp YAROSLAVICHY: TOTAL WAR. Both of these mods are undoubtedly good, but each of them is missing something.

Until recently, these were the only mods dedicated to medieval Russia. But then the creation of the VIR master appeared - Rus 2: Total War.

This mod has been developed for a long time and many have been waiting for it. Many played the first Rus, a modification authored by the same VIR, and therefore there was no doubt that we would see a very high-quality product again. And our hopes were justified! Despite the fact that the mod is currently listed as a beta version, the quality of Rus 2 is superior to many finished mods. Some imperfections are certainly present, but where are they, one wonders, not? Yes, and work on the mod continues, and according to the author, a very tasty update awaits us soon.
