A map based on real history. The Mongol conquest of Song China beginning 1229 – 1241 and completing 1260–1294 was the final step for the Mongols to rule the whole of East Asia under the Yuan dynasty. Choose 200% and each color's diffculty is as follows:
Cyan (Mongol), Easy.
Red (Song), Normal.
Orange (Jin), Hard.
Purple (Da Li), Expert.
Teal (Tibet), Export.
Blue (Korea), Impossible.
Author: Hero3 (Poland), 11-01-2021 22:40 Easy - The Mongol conquest of Song Played blue at 200%. Only one challenge with teal and his hordes of black knights against my weak troops in the early stage. Just avoided the confrontation and went to conquer strongholds, which soon lost to him, anyway:)
Then move more south and conquer easy towers and castles in grassy area. Received town portal in first built guild and since then all was easy as it could be.
Key to easy victory was:
- get to the shipyard in the very first days and send starting hero (expert in navigation) to sail across the seas: too many valuable artifacts and goods placed at the sea; also came across Taipei - could not hold it, but collected all the valuables placed there
- make both shooters dwellings in my dungeon asap, no more development of the city, just went abroad with another lord, who became my main carrying two weeks stack supported by 1 devil from the camp and 4 kindly joined archdevils.
Conclusion: really liked the map, and enjoyed playing it but found it way tooo easy. Maybe necro cities should have unlocked dragon caves to be more strong. Also less artifacts in the seas would make the game more challenging.

Glad you liked the map. I made a new map which increased diffculty. It's called Shanghai Bund rise of Minhang.
You can search for it by date under Horn of Abyss map.
Thanks for playing!
