The game begins immediately after the Tumu Crisis of 1449, where the numerically superior Ming army suffered major defeats against the Mongolians. The fate of the empire is uncertain, and this is where your journey begins. Build and lead your army personally in conquests against foreign foes. Utilize the rich and detailed economic system to obtain wealth from within. Navigate through the most sophisticated political dealings and make decisions in the court that would have profound impacts across the nation. Enact major reforms that may determine the course of your country. Progress and sail around the globe, or seal your kingdom from the outside world. The choice is yours to make, may your Mandate be Eternal.
