I also updated this mod to match what I had done in another of my mods, since I was busy translating Mk1212 and adjusted some names for consistency. We don’t actually know what the dynasty called itself, which is why I used a more general title such as “Grand Knyazate Dynasty” or “House of the Grand Knyaz.”

I disagree with this point. Why? Because they never called themselves “Rurikids” - that term is a later historical invention. Princes of the time identified themselves by their realm (Kyiv, Chernihiv, Suzdal, etc.) or used their father’s name, like Volodymyr Sviatoslavych, but not a pan-dynastic “House of Rurik.” Chronicles mention Rurik, but the collective name appeared only long after the end of Rus’, and even “Kyivan Rus’” never existed as a contemporary name - it was simply called Rus’ or the Rus’ state.

it doesnt matter whether or not the rurikids existed, that's beyond the point. i dont care if rurik existed or not. the difference matters in that the rus princes at this time stylized themselves as members of the wider rurikid dynasty and believed they were descendant of it, impacting the conscious of the nobility and their wider actions. it doesn't make sense to just remove it when regardless of rurik's own existence, they still believed in and thought of themselves as 'rurikid'. there was no historical house called the "house of rus" nor were any ruling houses calling themselves as such. it would only make sense to remove mentions of rurik and the existance of rurik if mk1212 was mk890 but it isnt. overall the mod is fine but removing mentions of rurik is clearly politically motivated

So removing mythological Rurikid Dynasty is "ukrainization"? Ukraine and Russia even not existed at that time. Are you ok dude ? :)))

Read this with links to sources explaining why Rurik never existed:

this mod is not "correcting historical inaccuracies" its just a politically motivated ukrainianisation attempt lmfao

Привіт, помітив цікаву "деталь", що після встановлення мода, юніт "otroki" змінює свою іконку на якийсь римський загін
