Currently in Open Alpha Testing
This mod introduces a historically grounded campaign set during Ukraine's 2013–2014 political crisis, beginning on November 21, 2013—the day Euromaidan protests erupted in Kyiv after the government suspended the EU Association Agreement. Players navigate escalating unrest, the February 2014 Revolution of Dignity, the annexation of Crimea, and the outbreak of armed conflict in Donbas—choosing to either defend Ukraine's territorial integrity or lead a separatist movement in eastern regions.

- Faction Diversity: Play as Ukrainian government forces, separatist militias (including the Azov Battalion), or alternative political/military leaders.
- Alternative Histories: Multiple decision points enabling divergent outcomes—preserving unity, federalization, or fragmentation.
