UPDATE:

A complete overhaul of the Rus' army: new icons, unit types, descriptions, and visuals!
Units are now tied to **provinces** instead of **kingdoms**.

The unit system has been reworked: each province now belongs to a historical **region** and pulls from its own unit pool.

---

## 🌍 Regions

All units are distributed across five historical regions:

- 🧭 **North**
- 🛶 **Novgorod**
- 🏔 **Northeast**
- 🌾 **South**
- 🛡 **West**

*⚠️ Currently, all regions use the same unit stats. This may change in the future for balancing or thematic reasons.*

## ⚔️ New & Reworked Units

### 🔄 Core Units

- Light and heavy infantry
- Light and heavy spearmen
- A new type of heavy cavalry

### ⭐ Unique Units

- **Junior Druzhina** – elite foot warriors
- **Senior Druzhina** – elite mounted archers

📌 *Vanilla units are still available for recruitment.*

## 🏛 Province-Based System

To assign units to specific provinces, I had to **rebuild certain kingdoms** from scratch.
Because of this, players using **non-English or non-Russian localizations** may experience **text display issues**.
In theory, it should fall back to English by default, but I haven't tested it yet.

### Affected Provinces:

- Kyiv
- Vladimir
- Ryazan
- Yaroslavl
- Polotsk
- Vytebsk
- Novgorod
- Smolensk

❗If you encounter bugs or issues — **please leave a comment so I can fix them!**

## 🛠️ Future Plans

- 🔓 A unification quest for Rus'
- 🏰 Unique buildings (e.g. **Kyiv Pechersk Lavra**)
- ⚔️ Reworked Varangians for selected provinces and Black Klobuck for Kyiv
- ⚙️ Regional stat adjustments for better balance
