INSTRUCTIONS

Player 1 (Purple) - Kushans (Indians or Persians)
Player 2 (Red) - Easterners (Japanese or Chinese)
Player 3 (Green) - Dwarves (Franks or Portuguese)
Player 4 (Yellow) - Rebels (Goths, Vikings or Huns)

The first player to collect 8 relics and hold them for 10 minutes will win the game alone (even if allied victory is checked in).. Most players start the game with 1 relic. Additional relics will be produced at your capital on top of the big flag of your color when you complete missions. Be careful not to block the flag, or the relics will not spawn. Each faction, except the Rebels (Yellow) who start with 3 relics, can complete 3 missions to gain 3 relics in total; the other relics have to be taken from other players. For conquest missions, the player has to take control of specific provinces (custom-named town centers).

You can take control of provinces by constructing town centers in the areas marked by torches. The provinces will provide significant amounts of resources every 15min. For a list of how much each province is worth, see the "Scout" section.

Trebuchets have been disabled for this scenario, and gunpowder units - including the bombard cannon - are only available to the Dwarves (Green). Defensive techs such as Masonry, Architecture and Hoardings have been disabled for every faction but the Dwarves (Green). There is a limit of 15 onagers and 5 bombard cannons (for the Dwarves). If the limit is exceeded, all of your units of that type will start to break down. There is also a castle limit of 3 (4 for the Dwarves). If you build more castles than that, all of your castles will start to break down. Fortresses and the Necropolis (Poenari Castle) do not count towards the castle limit.

MISSIONS

As a vassal (P1, P2, P3 and P6) you provide the Emperor (P5) with troops by placing them within the flagged area in the Imperial Capital in the center of the map. For these missions to work, the Emperor has to be your overlord; that means you have to own your main province (named TC), and the Emperor has to have a watch tower next to it.

Some factions (P3, P5 and P7) are able to train custom units with trainers (kings). For P3 and P5, this is done by placing the trainer in a custom-named tower. The Necromancers (P7) get their trainer and can train hellspawns if they manage to open the Gates of Hell. If Hell is opened, the Hell Gate can be destroyed by putting a petard next to it.
