"+15% Culture and +1 Amenity in cities with a Trade Route to an ally."
Is broken for sure , I do not get anything
shame about it

Please update :)

@xflomasterx
I'm not sure what you mean in the second part of your comment, are you talking about ъ being "u" in Old Russian or about Kiev originally sounding more like Kiev? Either way, my point was that Kiev was originally called most similarly to Kiev, as stated by Ukrainian linguists like Yaroslav Rudnitsky.

@xflomasterx
That's simply not true, what language does Russian evolve from if not Old Russian? Every linguist agrees that Old Russian is the older stage of the Russian language, the distance you are talking about is probably because of Old Church Slavonic influence that came with conversion to Christianity, it's why in Russian the months are called in their Latin names, while in Ukrainian they are called by their Old Slavic names. There was also other influence in the Russian language, but that doesn't make it not descended from Old Russian. English today is descended from a purely Germanic language, but today it has huge Latin influence, that doesn't make Old English not a stage in the same English language.

@knjaz cos its not. Rus and ukrainain ARE different stages of one language, but russian, despite its name - not. it is easily proven by linguistic distance. So Кыѥвъ and Київ are chronological versions of word, while Киев - its translation.

I can see what is ur point, but at this time it seems more like unwilling to accept proofs of opposite. Transcriptions of Кыѥвъ can be easily googled, so it is not a question of beliefs but rather "do we arguing in science field or we are going to praise mystifications"

@xflomasterx
Ok, so why did you say Kiev is an exonym by going from "rus/ukrainian" to Russian if that is also a case of different stages of the same language? And also does not represent different nations.

Ъ is a technical sign in modern Russian, but in Old Russian it is likely that it was a separate sound, this is still the case today in Bulgarian. But my point there is that the name for Kiev back then was not Kyiv, but closest to Kiev.

@knjaz Old ruthenian and Old rus are just languages (even more: it is just chronological STAGES of development of one language) and do not represent different nations/countries so translation (even mor - adaptation) from them is not an exonym

And if u refer to old refers of name: in Povest' vremennykh let (one of the most citated historical text from 12 century) it was referred as Кыѥвъ which can betranscripted as K-y-je-v (last letter is just techical sign, not separate sound)

@xflomasterx
By this logic, "Kyiv" is a double exonym as well, since it comes from Old Ruthenian and then Old Ruthenian got it from Old Russian (and I suppose now it's in English as well, making it a triple exonym in your view). If you read any mention of Kiev prior to modern times it was always called Kiev/Kievu.

Kyiv is already exonym, while Kiev is double exonym ( from rus/ukrainian to russianand then to english) which makes no sense.
Kyiv is only option. Same as Rome, despite that russians read it as Rim

I think the Russkaya Pravda is broken! I don't get extra trade routs by having allies, and my cities don't get 15% culture for sending them a trade route.

Any chance of updating this to require the new City Styles Pack?

Honestly, I can't stand the revision to English where we're now calling it Kyiv instead of Kiev. Do people not know what an exonym is? Kiev (I know its not an exonym relative to Russian, but it is to Ukrainian), Lisbon, Vienna are such obviously better sounding names compared with Kyiv, Lisboa, and Wien.

@Wenyanngat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russkaya_Pravda

Nice, bro! Slava Ukraine!

Russkaya Pravda? What?

My gripe with this mod is that I try to put as many cities on rivers as possible, but they DO NOT get a free trading post. Very annoying.

I would love to see Kyivan Rus vs Novgorod and Ivan the Terrible. Succession of the East Slavs!

@BattleFuri agree with you

should be Kyivan Rus' to reflect contemporary re-evaluations on Russian imperialism

@BattleFuri
yeah except if you look at how Kiev was called during the times of Kievan' Rus it was called Kiev, not Kyiv.

should be Kyivan Rus' to reflect contemporary re-evaluations on Russian imperialism

Issue is now resolved: the fix was buying rise & fall

@Solarius Scorch I tried removing the only other mod, which only left me with this one and the leugi city style pack. Still had the same issue. The thing is, when you select the civ, instead of showing the icon of keivan rus and the picutre of Yaroslav, it just has a question mark there. I tried on multiple PC's. I don't know how to fix this :o

@fufnulius Remove the offensive mod. It's not this one, I've been using it for a very long time with no issues. And I have almost 300 mods enabled.

Can you explain what to do with the issue where it says "failed to load content"?
Many people bought the game especially for this mod it seems, and the issues seems to be pretty wide spread.
I kindly ask you to help us all out

@Soniwko
No those are completely different situations, Yaroslav ruled over both modern day Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, to call Kievan Rus' just Ukraine is simply ridiculous

Muscovia itself was a direct heir to Kievan Rus' and destroyed the last remnants of the Golden Horde, how is Russia a direct heir of the Golden Horde?

Also how does Kievan Rus share much less in common with Russia than England with Canada?

@knjaz

with such logic, Richard the Lionheart, one of the most famous English kings, is not the king of the England, but France. Because he is from french dynasty. BTW England was ruled for centuries by french dynasties. But they are English kings, and the capital was in London, not Paris. But country was named England and kings were english.
The same way Russia is the direct heir of Moscovia, or even gold horde.
If we count Australia and Canada as separate nations, the Kievan Rus MUST be separate nations as well. Because Kievan Rus have much LESS in common with Russia, then England with Canada

How can I change the default names of the cities? Where are the mod files located on the harddrive?

@fufnulius

no, kievan rus' is not only ukraine, the only reason people associate it with ukraine is because the capital was in ukraine, meanwhile the royal dynasty came from around novgorod, a city in russia, the majority of the federation was also in russia, and russians, belarusians, and ukrainians descend from it

did anyone manage to fix the issue where it doesn't load. Specifically it doesn't load the icons

@wejktoras

Unfortunatly, you're not right, Kievan Rus is Ukrainian history. Russian history stems from the Moscovite prince that was outcast by the Kievan Rus. Russia just abused the term Rus the claim Ukraine's history, the history of the Kievan Rus. The only thing that you could say is that Russian territory partly belongs to Ukraine according to the land of the Rus

@Woland
Kievan Rus was not just Ukraine, it was the ancestor to modern day Russians, Belarussians, and Ukrainians, to be fair to every ethnicity who made it up it would make sense to change it to Pravda Rusĭskaya and věče

A few corrections, it's "Viche" and "Rus'ka Pravda". English wiki uses russian words for no reason. Too bad about Norwegian references, the thing about vikings is a long disproved pseudo-scientific theory. But it's better than nothing as it is, props.

Does anyone know how yo fix my issue? It doesnt load...

Super Mod! Thnx!

Молодчик

@Merrick can you update please?

чомусь не працює в чому може бути причина???

Слава Київській Русі, а Московія - смокчи!

I love this mode! @Merric, could you please, contact me - I have some ideas about mode development and would be happy to help with it somehow.

this mod sounds really cool but i cant play it, when every i try to load a new game with it there's a pop up that says something about failing to load something. idk i just hope this mod gets fixed

Don't work

Sorry, Merrick's Kievan Rus ' mod not function.

I was not expecting this to be updated, but I definitely appreciate it haha

Updated with new art for the Veche and gave it a more powerful ability then the old +2 Culture from trade routes. Also Kievan Rus' now uses the scandinavian city art from Leugi's city style pack.

@viktorslava The Varangians (Vikings) who between the 9th and 11th centuries ruled the medieval state of Kyivan Rus, thus music is Norwegian.

украина цэ европа евпора цэ я

Good mod, but it got broken with the new August update.

this is a bit of a nitpick but why are the rivers and music norwegian instead of russian?

Also a fix to make the Veche grant the governor title.

Druzhina fix uploaded, sorry i managed to miss all these comments. Just found it myself!
