Ukrainian Civilization

[astralrok]

Is there Ukraine as a civilization in the game? or Kievan Rus as the predecessor of Ukraine? if not, then it makes no sense to buy

[pete0714]

check out the workshop mods, there are at least a couple versions I am sure. Otherwise, as much as I get Ukraine is important, sounds more like just trying to start something here.

[SLG]

If you did a search here, you would have gotten your answer.

[Goran]

Sorry mate but there is not really a Ukrainian civilization. Cossack tribes in the 16th to 18th century that you can compare more to the Republic of Pirates in the 17 century in Nassau (Caribbean) and a nation of Ukraine after 1917 if I remember well and which was part of the Sovien Union. The Kievan Rus can be connected with the Russians, the Ukrainians and the Belorussians. They dont belong just to the Ukrainians. But yeah, Firaxis could add the Kievan Rus with its own leader, probably Sviatoslav, his mother Olga or Vladimir the Great, son of Sviatoslav and first Christian ruler of the Rus.

[SLG]

You could add the Khazars. They controlled most of the land that would become Ukraine.

History is the biggest evidence (at least from 19th century) that whenever a group of nations rally together and isolate one nation, it just makes that singled out nation more desperate and aggressive. That was one of the fundamental reasons for WW1, WW2, and many of the conflicts in Asia, Africa & Middle East since 1900s.
Why prove the quote "History repeats itself" right?

No, we got 25-35% of the population old commies 50+ years who are pro-ruzzia still but even they will see the light at some point very soon.

[xeedo]

For fans of a game about war and history you are all pretty braindead, it's astonishing.

[Aelfric]

is there a russia? That's closest to the kievan rus. Allow me to explain:
--You have the kievan rus
--then due to the mongol invasion, their population left-overs are centred up north
--then russians and polish had people form free going cossack communities but continuously fought under russia against sweden and napoleon, sometimes pretending they would turn against the tsar when they were actually loyal
--then you have Imperial Russia
--next the USSR which genocided the last remnents of the cossacks
--and last is USSR creates ukraine for the first time

How can you have 1900s state in medieval times?

[SLG]

Ukraine had experienced a brief period of independence in 1918–20, but portions of western Ukraine were ruled by Poland, Romania, and Czechoslovakia in the period between the two World Wars, and Ukraine thereafter became part of the Soviet Union as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (S.S.R.).

Civ isn't limited to any sort of time period, as long as its not very modern. Russia does exist, its led by Peter.
