Description

Rurik: Dawn of Kiev is a euro-style realm building game set in an 11th century Eastern European kingdom and featuring area control, resource management, and a new mechanic - "auction programming."

You play as one of several potential successors to the throne, and although deploying your troops for warfare seems to be the easiest path for success, the people value a ruler who leads well in a variety of endeavors. Establish your legacy by constructing buildings and performing great deeds or pursue your own agenda by ruling large areas of land and collecting tribute. Will you win over the hearts to become the next Grand Prince or Princess of Kiev?
