Thanks Razorfloos, you are the bestUnfortunately I think the mod author stopped working on the 3 kingdoms mod. You should be able to form rum once Byzantine is destroyed although it's been awhile since I played 2 but that sounds right. The best way to get Slavic nomads and have it make some sense is to make a custom character under one of the smaller hordes somewhere in sibera. Failing that make under the dulos and invade into Russia proper.
