Russian Exodus

[Quintus.JC]

You could move to the Iberian Peninsula. Its in the right-mid section of Europe which is an easily defendable area. From there you can expand to upwards to france, downwards to Morroco, or sail forward to Italy. Also its far far far away from the Mongols which are nothing compared to the Timurids that come later on. Downside is that its a long trip to the Holyland.

Iberia is a great place, but I rarely bothers to migrate there. Despite its rainny weathers I always found it more attractive than the Iberian penisular.

Thats really the whole point. To be more prescise, it was a move to the Baltic region, including Scandinavia to an extent.

That's true, the Russian stepppes wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for the Mongols.
