The mod takes place in XVII century, in the times that are known in the history as "Khmelnytsky Uprising" and "The Deluge" (Second Northern War). In 1648 Bohdan Khmelnytsky leads cossack rebellion that turns into a Ukrainian war of liberation from Poland - Zaporozhian Cossacks, allied with the Crimean Tatars, fight against the armies of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
