The reason is because he was the one who make the first centralized state of Russia, was the tzar that longest rule (40 years) and the founder of the fisrt professional army of that country: the Streltsy. The conquest of Siberia by the cossack Yermak, the conquest of the old Khanates and the first russian-turkish war.

But I agree with you there are other great historical figure from Russia that deserve more attention rulers and commanders. For example Alexander Suvorov, really this guy deserve to appear in the next Age of Empires Definitive Edition, because his one of the greatest commanders in history. He defeated Frederick the Great in the Seven Years Wars.
