Description:

Based on Map of Northeast Asia and Map of Northeast Asia (Function Pack), this map portrays the major powers at the early Warring States Period, after Zhao, Wei and Han divided the once mighty State of Jin. Players may choose from the Seven Major Powers of Warring States, as well as Yue, Song and Xiongnu.

The game starts from the Classical Era, with the research cost of technologies and civics greatly boosted. Captured cities are annexed immediately and all factions cannot gain Settlers via ordinary methods to encourage prolonged warfare of the Warring States period. All factions starts with similar technologies and civics, with the exception of 1 additional technology fitting its military style.


Leaders are chosen from Spring and Autumn Leaders Pack, Warring States Leader Pack and the Xiongnu crafted by Phantagonist. Note that as these leaders were chosen as the most iconic representative of their factions, there could be a bit of anachronism.
