reminds me of my latest Civilization game.

Great find! Here's the same map, slowed down, showing years, events, etc. FYI

Can't say that this video is uniquely of water nor Russia. But there is some kickass music accompanying it!

This could also really use a timeline to go along with it so you can see the years as the borders change.

I want to see the whole world of this!

Why is it always Europe? Don't get me wrong, I love my whities, but I'd love to see other region focuses as well. The iron curtain doesn't end in Russia.

Inception music much?

Anyone here played the Paradox grand strategy games like Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings? You choose the starting point from a map like this and as brilliant as the games are, the "New Game" screen is amazingly informative and have taught me lots about European political history.

I wonder what happened there? It was dead, and then it wasn't!

Amazing! For some reason I've always admired the Mongols, they seem like histories ultimate unstoppable force, so it gave me a warm fuzzy to see their colors fill half of Europe at one point.

Still shows up as dead for me.
