It is a time of legends, an earlier time when men are just beginning to learn the art of war. It is a time for conquerors and warlords. On fierce battlegrounds, brave warlords go out to tame and protect new domains from other would-be rulers. Each ambitious leader tests a lifetime of military training against other fierce warlords. Which commander will emerge victorious? Come back to a time when mighty conquerors and warlords clash in great battles for land and honor. As a commander, you either lead your troops to heroic victory or suffer ignoble defeat! Conquer new territories and guard them from warlords striving to wrest away what you have earned. Each enemy, each battle, calls for a different strategy. Is brute military force enough to protect your domain? Will your opponent honor your offer of truce? Would a sudden cavalry raid or archery barrage pay off? You can conquer the world! Choose your strategies wisely. Each victory will bring you one step closer to glory, but only one player will emerge triumphant. Do you build great cities to feed and protect your people, conquer land and the valuable resources it contains ot build mighty armies with which to defeat your foes? Failure means certain defeat at the hands of your enemies. The time is yours, fight on! - BoardGameGeek
