The map does not show exact borders: in the 9th century, power shifted along rivers, cities, and tribal lands.

Capture is only the beginning: the garrison must hold the land, and the faith and language of the population affect resistance. Any power on the map can respond with a campaign, seize lands, demand tribute, or devastate a possession.

DIPLOMATIC OVERVIEW

Relations of Powers

Keep an eye on your neighbors' sentiments: strained relations increase the risk of a campaign, and several enemies may unite in a coalition against Rus.
