The Rise of Moscow

“

The story of Moscow's rise begins at a humble outpost on the Moskva River and ends with the emergence of a new superpower. Playing as the Rus and their iconic leaders, players will battle the relentless brutality of the Mongol invasion, unite allies and foes, and force a change of fortune – from subjugation to independence.
