This page of theAge of Empires 4guide contains a description of the Rus civilization.
Here you’ll learn about the Bounty system, all unique units, technologies and Landmarks.
The Rus civilization is characterised by fast resource gain, expansion, conquest and trade.
Thanks to their unique buildings and the Bounty system they obtain food and generate gold very quickly.
In the early-game they protect their vast territories with wooden fortresses and upgraded wooden walls.
Additionally the Bounty system rewards then with gold and additional bonuses for each wild animal they kill.
The Hunting Cabin, which replaces the Mill, forms the base of the Rus' economy.
In addition to storing food, Hunting Cabins generate gold depending on how many trees are around it.
The Rus have some powerful and unique military units.
Their mounted Warrior Monks have more hit points than religious units of other civilizations and are great in combat.
The Streltsy ranged unit, which is equipped with gunpowder, deals immense amounts of damage.
Their cavalry can also be enhanced with unique technologies to make it even stronger.
This allows you to transform a fishing boat into a powerful naval warship.
The Rus have strong bonuses but they lag behind technologically until the IV era.
