I missed like 2 videos and suddenly I see the the Rus is in Sicily? WHAT?

norway does border with you in the far north

Stalin if you are allowed to: Make preperations along your border with the Cumans and the border that is black. Also make alliances with the Byzentines and the Cumans. Update your cities with walls, build moats, etc. Yes having a army is grand, but if you do not have the structure to support the army then the mongols might as well own Rus. Make alliances, make alliances, make alliances.

And stop wasting your levies on these phony wars over a few pieces of land. You need every man you can get for the Mongol invasion.

I agree Karakoran, don't waste your time with the little wars because in the long run it will eat away at your man power and then you won't have enough to fight the mongols. Remember: Alliances.
