Age of Empires II Genghis Khan 1 Crucible
is a real-time strategy video game developed by Ensemble Studios. Released in 1999 for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. Age of Empires II The Age of Kings is set in the Middle Ages.
Genghis Khan (1158 - 1227), was the founder and first Great Khan (Emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death.
The game features four types of resources: food, wood, gold, and stone. Players aim to gather resources, which they use to build towns, create armies, and defeat their enemies.
A blue wolf took as his spouse a fallow doe. They settled at the head of the Onon River to raise their offspring. And there were born the Mongols.
So begins my life's work, The Secret History of the Mongols. I have been selected to compose this epic because great events are about to take place. We are going to leave Mongolia.
I have lived always on this frigid, dry, on d endless steppe. The tribes here squabble like vultures fighting over the desiccated corpse of a marmot. We fight over limited resources: scarce water, few trees, sparse grass fry our herds to graze on.
A wise and dangerous man named Temuchin means to change all this. He says that if the tribal conflict is to end, the Mongols require but two things. First, we need green pastures for our herds. With more to go around, there will be less competition among the tribes.
Second, we are a nation of warriors; we need a common enemy with which to do battle.
To meet both these needs, Temuchin has come up with the most modest of schemes: to unite the tribes and go to war with anyone who stands in our path.
How, we ask him. How can nomadic horsemen in felt tents embark on a campaign of world conquest?
Temuchin replies that we will fight not as warriors, but as a unified army. We fight not for our glory, but for the glory of Mongolia.
And with those words, the name of Temuchin has passed almost into obscurity. His name is replaced with a title: Great Khan. Genghis Khan.
Nearly all of the Mongol tribes have united under the Great Khan. The chieftains of those tribes reluctant to join were boiled alive.
Each day new faces have takenup the bow; unfamiliar hands hold the Nine Bands of yak hair that has become Genghis's standard. There are more men and horses gathered in the camp than I ever knew existed.
Horse archers and lancers, men in leather cuirass and silk armor, all lift their heads upward to the platform fromwhere Genghis speaks. The Great Khan calls himself the punishment of God. Men .smile like hungry wolves. It is dawn of the first day of the Mongolian Empire.
An expansion for The Age of Kings, The Conquerors, was released in 2000. It introduced numerous new game features, including unique technologies for each civilization, and five new civilizations. Two of these, the Aztecs and the Mayans, represent the New World and have a distinctive architectural style. Other new civilizations are the Huns, Koreans, and Spanish.
The original Age of Empires II and its 2000 expansion pack, The Conquerors, were later released as The Gold Edition. Age of Empires II is often considered one of the greatest games ever made. An updated high-definition graphics version of the game, Age of Empires II: HD Edition, was released in 2013. The HD Edition includes the original game and the expansion The Conquerors, as well as new campaigns, civilizations, and updated graphics for high-resolution displays. A remaster, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, was released in November 2019.
