  • i'm just starting to look at Stainless Steel mod. where should i start downloading? 1.0? 2.0? 3.0? 4.0?

  • Ukrain + Russia = my lovely "KIEVAN RUS´ "One belief, one history, one god, one people"

  • Actually, Kievan Rus was conquered by Novgorod and it became center of Rus due to it strategic position and warm climate. At that moment territory of modern Russia was called Zaleskaya Ukraina (Forest Periphery). But when Kiev was conquered by Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth it became Ukraina (Periphery).

  • @Gedd84 Where does the part of mongols raping everyone fit in here?

  • Ukraine became a country in the 20 century

  • Kievan Rus Rus is for Russian

  • @Neizvestnyu no kievan rus is ukraine!

    republics of novorgorod and muscovy is the herritage of Russia.

  • @JarnsidaViking Miklagard is actually the name for Constantinople whenever Harald Hardardr and his men became mercenaries. From Constinoplies giant walls he called it ''The city of the Gods'' Miklagard.

  • lol@holywar idiots

  • There are many theories of the origin of Slavs, but none of them confirmed

    but it is history of Ukraine and we respect it

  • @KirkChernishkov bullshit

  • Prussiaaccount

    The Rus are mentiones as Swedes in two sources: Nestors Chronicles and the

    Annales Bertiniani. All the Norse archeological finds in Russia have been from the Mälar valley in Uppland, Sweden, and according to Wulfstan II, Gotland had been a part of Sweden since 880 (before that it was independent) so even if the Rus Varyags came from Gotland they would still be Swedes. Not trying to put anyone down, but the archeological work, speaks for itself.

  • russian say that they are the first. and ukraine is small russia. kievan rus is ukraine.

  • @Narutych14

    I had to learn this in university.

    chronological simple version: Kievan Rus, coexistence with Novgorod, annexation of Kievan Rus by Novgorod, Rise of Moscow, defeat of Novgorod and finaly Moskovite empire

  • how do i get this mod ? plz answer

  • ukrainians and russians are both rus and kievan rus is the first russian country but to modern standerts they are separated

  • Lol Keiv and Novgorod were very active in your campaign. I'm playing Stainless Steel 6.3 and I am going to play as Kiev or Novgorod soon for my AAR.

  • you guys are real morons.. todays russia and ukraine, hungary,.. were all part of the same kingdome in the past.... leave your pride outside and accept the fact that you russians are related to your neighbours.. more than you think... your all the same, culture might have changed over the time... but not the rest...

  • Uuum what does the stainless steel mod do and where can i get it?

  • @MrFisturmom just ype in google stainless steel 6.1 and it will be there the 1-st one it does add more factions more units and a bigger map

  • if they were one and the same then it would just be called russia there wouldnt be no name ukraine or watsover russians need to fuck off and go back to their vodkaland fuckin prosoviets cunts;

  • @TarasCutYaThroat

    how nice of you, my slavonic friend ;)

    you need to calm down and eat some salo, mister gorilkaland bandera fan ~:)

  • @immortalx50 wat is ur problem ?; Russia And Ukraine are preety similar cuz yes we are slavic but there are differences; a little different language; different traditions different culture; different ways of thinking and i dont hate Russians i hate ur government & i hate Ukraines government; ukraine and russia both suffer from alcoholism! sadly : (

  • Comment removed

  • In kievan rus' people dont calls "Ukrainci" they are calls ruskiye (rusians)

  • @1Veers  No is not tru

  • from Wikipedia on Ukraine:

    In the 9th century, much of modern-day Ukraine was populated by the Slavic tribes. The so-called Kievan Rus was founded by Rus' people, Varangians who first settled around Ladoga and Novgorod, then gradually moved southward eventually reaching Kiev about 880. Kievan Rus' included the western part of modern Ukraine, Belarus, with larger part of it situated on the territory of modern Russia.

  • and im NOT surprised that things might not be going so well considering they only had two decades to govern themselfs after a few centuries of oppression!!

  • and at the end of ww1 when ukraine was officially recognized as a country they didnt have the military necesarry to fight back threats from the soviet empire due to the constant abuse to the ukrainian region of the russian empire rule...like when russian tried to ban all ukrainians from speaking their own national language...and they still failed at that...now ukraine finally has the freedom to pull it self together !

  • @frunk69

    also go watch: UKRAINE HOLOCAUST

  • wow people...ukraine and russia are not the same culture. althought they are very similar, and kievan rus is not russia because kievan rus at one point in history was a very powerful empire untill the constant raid by the mongols weakened it and novgorod turned on kievan rus and took over. no ukrainian will call himself russian for even though the people were oppressed by russia and poland at one point the ukrainian people never stopped fighting for freedom.

  • dang u call this a small battle

  • Хохлосрач как всегда радует =)

  • 1. loading panel looks nice (i especially like that sword as loading bar)

    2. Sb should translate Nowogród not for Novgorod, but for New City / New Castle

  • The mod helps alot, thats for sure, but it lags a bit that usual and when I press a faction button when I select a faction for a faction, it randomly crash. Once I press Ireland, and it crashed. Then I try again and it doesn't crash and now the turks button makes me crash. But Except for that, it's awesome.

  • What does Stainless Steel change?

  • besides bug fixes and balance issues missed in the main game, it redoes every unit and faction to be more historically accurate. if you find a site that allows you to download it, it should have a change log letting you know exactly

  • @jordakai Everything! :D

  • i have installed Stainless Steel 6.0 and it works it is a bit laggey some times that i dont mind it is just i cant play eny battels andt he late campane does not work can some one tell me how to fix it

  • Ukraine vs Russia :)

  • Russia vs Russia

  • ukraine vs russia .... kiev rus = ukraine

  • Actually, both are right...Kievan Rus is at the root of both Russia and the Ukraine, while Novgorod was just a northern offshoot, within the area that later became Modern Russia.

  • @RaelWander Ukraine is a direct offshoot of the Kievan Rus, and the Kievan Rus branched Novgorod and Vladimir-Suzdal which became Russia. In a way, Ukraine is the actual Motherland.

  • @RaelWander Kieven Rus was Russian!

  • @Neizvestnyu no u fucking retard. why do u think its called a "KIEVAN rus" dumbass

  • @Neizvestnyu u mean rusyn then yes as in rus but russian as in modern russia then ur a fuck\tard......

  • I like this mod and being Ukrainian I like fighting under the tryzub(probably misspelled) but how do you get the pre-battle speeches for the Kievan-Rus????I had only one and I've had a dozen battles?

  • I agree, but it is really fun no matter what, and this was a great video, good job!

  • Its a good mod but i dont like the unit statistics.

  • if this is only for kingdoms then why do you got the normal map?

  • Other features from kingdoms were included.

  • i have this mod i have installed part1 then part 2 in the same folder then patch 6.1 i enter in the game i play on the campaign map but when i wanna fight i mean when the game changes into the battle mod the game takes me out it crashes how can i solve this?

  • lol i know iam not good at Medieval History iam just good in World War 2 history but isnt Novgrod and Kievan rus are like same Russians!

  • lol pretty much slight differences as russia isnt a nation of one people but i have a questuion what factions r in this mod?

  • Ukraine is Kievan Rus; Novgorod is Russians

  • Ukraine, Russia one and the same.

  • are you crazy?

  • Somewhat.

    But if we look at my statement objectively, in terms of genetics, culture, history, even peoples attitude, one notices a huge similarity. Furthermore, Russia began with Kyevgrad, and therefore the country is one and the same.

  • are you russian patriot? this explains your attitude.

    if you want to know the history then do not read books by russian nationalists.

  • And you are a Ukranian nationalist.

    Historically, Ukraine was Russia. It became a seperate nation due to neglect, and was labelled as the Okraina, hence the name. If you belive that the Russians oppressed the Ukrainians, you are sorely mistaken, as all of Russia was oppressed, not individual regions. Examples include, Ivan the Terrible, Boris Godunov, Peter the Great, Stalin, etc.

    For you information I come from Odessa.

  • Comment removed

  • What Communist myths? That Kyevgrad eventually became the "Okraina" of Kievan Rus?

    You are living the myths of Kravchuk and Yuschenko, who teach Ukrainians it is in their best interest to be independant. Do you remember the total collapse of Ukraine after it was elected to seperate from the Soviet Union, and the Kravchuk administration was elected? I remeber full well. At least under the Soviets life was good. Not like it is now.

  • @MercifulBoss life was good u say.....if it wasnt for the communists ukraine and other countries wouldnt be exploited and poor......

  • @MercifulBoss ukraine was part of russian but after the kievan rus era.........but then we got our freedom in the early 1990s and the word ukraine has been around alot longer then russian....

  • And one final point, a great many people in Odessa believe and believed that Ukraine's seperation from the Soviet Union was a grave mistake. Some believe Western Ukraine should have been left to the Poles....

    Where are you from?

  • Я з Бердичева. І я пишаюсь тим що я Українець. Після такого зомбування у вас в Одесі ще й не таке думати будуть. А час іде й Україна повертає своє. В Одесі багато хто думає так як і Ви: москалі, армяни, євреї, молдовани; а ось ми українці своєї держави вам не дамо!!!

  • Odessa has nothing to do with the way I or most people in Eastern Ukraine think. Is your quality of life currently very high? No it is not. Life under the Soviets was better. Furthermore, if many people think such as I, then our logic must be correct, and many agree Ukraine is Russia, and will always be.

    What makes Ukraine a "держава"? It has neither the military, nor the economics, nor a individual culture. It's culture is very Russian, as the Ukrainian language is old Russian.

  • Ви за більшість не кажіть, а подобається СССР то поїдьте у Північну Корею, цікаво а чи довго там протримаєтесь. А якість життя в Україні негірша ніж у Росії,

  • взявши до уваги ще деякі критерії як демократія, вільний сосіб життя, ВОЛЯ, рівень злочинності то Україна взірець для Московії. А хто думає так як Ви? Старі комуністи яких вже майже не лишилося (яким 80 років промивали мозги)

  • та ті савкові шовіністи проплачені диктатором Путіним. Ви бува за чергами за хлібом скучили. Що, вам подобаться голодомори? Ну які "many" хлопче, більшість українців моляться за те що мають свою незалежну державу.

  • Ваші пізнання в українській культурі та мові говорять про те що в Україні Ви ніколи не були. а являєтесь пропутінськім блогером, якому платять за свою совкову роботу. щоб своєю балаканинею впливати на неосвідчених американців

  • Uh, actually I am from Ukraine, and do not get paid because I am underage to recieve such payment.

    If you want proof that I lived in Odessa I will name my street. I lived on "Kirova".

    Hmm. Prove to me that Ukraine has a different culture from Russia's and I will prove that it is identical or very close.

  • Merciful you are thinking about this the wrong way. "Russian" cannot be described as the culture for all of Russia. In every part of Russia there are different ways of life and cultural backgrounds. The same goes for Ukraine. It's people, while living a similar life to Russians, have different ways of thinking and backgrounds.

    What may answer your obvious attachment to Russia is the fact that millions of Russians migrated to Ukraine in the Soviet era. Russian families keep their identity.

  • Agreed. Throughout it's territory Russia has a great deal of cultural diversity and backgrounds and is not solely limited to one culture. However, historically, Ukrainians were and are Russians and shared the same language and culture. Therefore, I am not undermining any identities.

    History lesson, from Keyeven Rus, Russia was born.

  • What are you going on about? The similarities of Russian and Ukrainian cultures?

  • Correct buddy. Like the english always think they have a claim to welsh and scottish lands, though we live in the same area we are totally different

  • The conqueror has the right to impose whatever they feel on the vanquished.

    Or however it goes.

    Anyway, i must be off to drown some puppies and impose HUUUGE taxation on everyone i dont know.

    England <3

  • Мені гидко порівнювати свою козацьку культуру з якоюсь москальською. Вулиця Кірова є у кожному місті, так що ти прокремлівській блогер і працюєш на іноземну аудиторію. ШТО ПА МАСКАЛЬСКИ НЕ ГАВОРИМ? Українську через гугль перекладаєш.

  • @MercifulBoss dude ukranians and russians r different and the cultures r different too....

  • lol

  • uhm i downloaded stainlesssteel V3.2 and there is no new factions!

  • the stainless steal mod is big

  • what programm you use to put this video from game ?

  • FRAPS

  • Arent Russia and Kievan Rus suppose to be the same in Medieval Total War?

  • History lesson:

    Kievan Rus was the birth of Russia.

  • @Solechnaya

    from Wikipedia on Ukraine:

    In the 9th century, much of modern-day Ukraine was populated by the Slavic tribes. The so-called Kievan Rus was founded by Rus' people, Varangians who first settled around Ladoga and Novgorod, then gradually moved southward eventually reaching Kiev about 880. Kievan Rus' included the western part of modern Ukraine, Belarus, with larger part of it situated on the territory of modern Russia.

  • @Solechnaya Even better history lesson. The Scandinavian Vikings were the parents of Kievan Rus.

  • @DanMarik Only the swdish vikings... The Norwegian and Danes went west over to Iceland, greenland, Vinland, Ireland, the british isles and france. BTW! The swedish vikings came as far as to constantinopel :D

  • @Prussiaaccount No.

    The Rus (namesake of Russia) were a Gottish (Danes originated from southern Gotland) viking tribe. Not a Svede (Svedes were too busy fighting the Sami and Norweigan clans up north. Though there were Svedes, but the majority were Danes,Jutes,Zealanders,Angles,­Normans,Saxons and Gotlanders. The Varangians were not swedish they were Gotland traders. The migration period is one of my favorite era and I have many maps of all the migrations paths. Continued ---

  • @Prussiaaccount Part 2: The reason why many people have come to the conclusion that the Varangians were swedish was because of the location. Varangians came from Gotland which is Modern day south Sweden. The actual Svede tribes were far north near the Sami tribes. Danes whom originated from southern Gotland were mixed in with the Varangians.

  • @Solechnaya it was just a name peter the great stole to make russia look good cuz of the reputation of the Rus

    russia- greek for Rus

  • stockholm!!!!!!!!!!!

  • cool mod...its fun to play as the mongols and destroy everything in your path :)

  • The Mongols kick ass. The BEST calvary in the whole world. No contest.

  • Against Tatar or Zaporozhian horsemen... that is a match.

  • what is the best mod for medieval 2??

  • I'd say Stainless Steel Version 6 or Broken Crescent.

  • What's Broken Crescent like? What does it focus on? And how much does it change?

  • @TheAussie00 please can you tell me what is differens between stainless steel 5.1 , 6.1 and 6.2?? please

  • The lord of the ring mod is seriously the best of med. 2-kingdoms. Its almost like a whole new game.

  • Yeah it's good, but the Dwarves and High Elves are really bad in it. Everything else rock, especially the Orcs of the Misty Mountains.

  • I like the crymson tide mod, is more realistic with blood

  • kievan rus is the best just like ukraine and we shit on everybody else....

  • lol...hell yeah we run chit shon

  • Does anyone get long campaign loading times??

  • yo, just delete the BYG's mod dont install them, my turn only last 10 seconds

    This is the Best Mod For Kingdom!!!

  • can anyone send me a link to download + instructions to install??!

  • WHat does Stainless steel mod? What is it?!

    I know it's for TW: Kingdoms, but nothing else. :S

  • Stainless Steel 6.1 (I don't know about the earlier ones) adds 11 factions (I think) to the grand campaign, gives you the option to play a "Late-era campaign", enhances the campaign map terrain, adds several new units, changes the picture on some unit cards, changes most faction's symbols, and unfortunately makes the construction time longer on many buildings.

  • great mod send me a link with download please

  • As it was mentioned before, this game is fun but very innacurate.

    Novgorod was one of East Slavic states. Kievan Rus' was established after Novgorod state conquered southern lands of East Slavs. And Kievan Rus' army of course did not look like that it was Slavic army, not some kind of Tatar.(with all respect to them)

    Novgorod was part of Kievan Rus. So Eastern Slavs should be represented by either Novgorod or Kievan Rus. To compare its like England vs Britain.

    sorry for my English

  • Yeah I agree 100% with you.

    I filmed this battle just so I could show the game mod :)

  • Actually-England like Russia was made up of different people too...Look at William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings...There were many cultures that eventually combined to form the modern day British...anyhow its just a game and this is a cool mod

  • Is there a mod with Sweden? Please link me the site for it

  • this one has it just google it

  • hey guys how do u follow ur missle or arrow like in rome total war

  • I think the key is delete

  • I WANT THIS I NEED TO PLAY AS UKRAINE please tell me where to get

  • go to the medeival total war center and look up stainless steel mods or just google search it!

  • how do u install mods?

  • medieval 2 pwns, I still play vanilla, im planing on getting the expansion so that this mod will work for me :D... I wunna play stainless steel 6.1 soooo bad :'(

  • who is more powerful Novgorod or Kieven-Rus?

  • You can't really say which is more powerful, at one point Kievan Rus expanded past the borders of modern day Ukraine, at another point its city's was left smouldering by The Khan.

  • You obviously don't understand this game.

  • Im not the one complaining here, and I didnt say anything supporting that Kievan Rus had Swedish towns historically.

    IF you played this game you would know that you can pick any faction to play with, and then sculpt its expansion away from historical guidelines. To win the game you basically need to take over half of Europe/Middle East/ N. Africa.

  • Do u start with towns in Sweden? When u are Kievan Rus? During the Medieval age, Sweden had lost all its connection to the Kievan rus organisation. It was fully slavic.

  • ok, look you retard, let me put it in a simple way. IN THE GAME YOU PICK A NATION, AND ITS A CAMPAIGN, WHICH YOU CAN HAVE WARS AND EXPAND, MAKE ALLIANCES, ETC. now in the game that he is playing, he picked to play as KIEVAN RUS' and he conquered SWEDEN. NOW HE IS FIGHTING WITH NOVOGROD to CONTROL SWEDEN. DO YOU UNNNNNNNDERSTAAAAAND?

  • but then again, this is a mod, and it is inteded to add more factions and make it more historicaly acurate, and fun :D... but since it IS independent work done to create this, it wouldnt suprise me if the starting towns arent EXACTLY correct for the time period

  • dude my vid is gonna own ur fucking veiws allready at 5000 and rising muhahah!!!!!

  • Lol the starwars one?

    ps. thanks for giving me ANOTHER VIEW MUAHAHAHA!

  • russians are vikings and slav people the rest are tartars and cumans who are nomadic people

  • Russians, Ukrainians, Belarussians, all have people with Slavonic, Scaninavian, Turkic, Tartar, and Cuman origins.

    (Tartarstan is a modern russian province)

  • to be Slavic has nothing to do with tatars or huns, or monlgols or smth.

    Slavs spread from present day Belarus, some parts of Poland 7 Ukrain. But they came to those places from Northern parts of Europeans Russia. So Slavic nation originally was (and is) European. But some Slavs did mix or assimilated with local communities like some Blakan people, Finno-Ugric and others.

    Despite some westerns attepms to rewrite some history(like Hitler did). Slavs are "white" European nation

  • yep indeed. your totally right :D

  • many of russian people was some percent turkish and hunnic people and mongolian. like the cumans and the horse archers.. i was novgorod once and a captain had a turkish name ( old turkish )

  • you're complete retard

  • long live ukraine-russia friendship and Medieval II: TOTAL WAR

  • Brothers why are you fighting?

    We are of the same culture. So stop being so immature and get along.

  • lol-preach it brother and go eat a pierogie

  • Kiev was founded by a bunch of Swedish vikings called Rus. It grew from a trading city to the mightiest empire in Europe for 200 years. Both the Swedish and Ukrainians should get more credit for this.
