It is composed of national romantic folklore, kievian armies, combined with a touch of later tsar age russia and orthodox (and sectarian) christianity.

It could probably be split, but since there are just three eras in dom3 (this has started to become a gripe for me ) i felt that all these parts had to go into LA Bogarus. I would not mind playing a mod in the lines mentioned above.

Thank you! Being somewhat of a fan of 16th century, I may be just a little touchy with this interesting age being mixed with earlier times... And while we were students, one of my friends made a model of Ivan Grozny monarchy in his fantasy world. It was much fun

And sectants are, from my own point of view, surely due to be given their own faction.. Maybe Cossack-based: as you may know, some Cossacks actually were sectants and some even migrated to Turkish empire in 18th century - only to escape to have to serve Tsaritsa and her "heretical" church!

It would be interesting to see Polish husars if we allow later units

The ultimate cavalry.

You played WarHammer, too?

Yeah, Tsarina Kattarina rulezz! Especially 5th ed. version! But I digress...

Actually, Poland was at the time a military power in itself & remained so until 18th century, when their nobility's pride got better of them & their government system turned into a complete anarchy. It probably deserves a separate faction, as well - especially as West Slavs' folklore strongly differed from East ones' (though I am hardly familiar with the former - in fact, I know Caucasus or Finnish one better...

)
However, Polish hussars actually WERE present in Tsar's army - as mercenaries, along with German reiters.

I may try to make them a capital-only unit to accurately represent them being few in numbers...
