Rurik: Dawn of Kiev*

Players take on the role of potential heirs following the death of their father, Vladimir the Great, in 1015. They must build their legacy through construction, taxation, combat, and great deeds to win the hearts of the people and become the next ruler of Kievan Rus. The game features open bidding for actions with advisors, creating a strategic layer where stronger advisors offer greater benefits but act later, while weaker ones provide less reward but execute actions more quickly.
