From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf, originally released as Aoki Ōkami to Shiroki Mejika: Genchou Hishi (蒼き狼と白き牝鹿・元朝秘史), is a 1992 video game developed by Koei. It is part of Koei's Historical Simulation Series of games, and is the sequel to Genghis Khan, though this is the third game in the series. Genghis Khan II was developed and published for MSX2, Nintendo Entertainment System, DOS, X68000, PC-9801, PC-8801, Mega Drive/Genesis, Super NES, Sega CD, PC Engine, and later PlayStation. The Super NES version was also made available on the Wii Virtual Console in North America on June 8, 2009[1] and in Japan on May 11, 2010.
Gameplay
The player is given the option to conquer either the country of Mongolia as Temujin, the man who would one day become Genghis Khan himself, or as one of three other rivals in that region; or to take over the known world of the time as one of several rulers from throughout Europe, mainland Asia, and North Africa. Conquests are made through the balance of economy, population, buying and selling manufactured goods, family relations, promoting and demoting generals, developing military, all in a turn-based fashion. All of these actions can happen only within a given number of "turn points", so some actions are given priority while others are overlooked. The game also includes a turn-based battle sequence, allowing specific control to the player or delegated to a general.
Scenarios
Scenario 1: Conquest of Mongolia
In the first scenario, it is the year 1184 AD in Mongolia; the player has the option of controlling four different characters. The objective is to become ruler of the Mongolian steppes (basically control all of Mongolia). At the end of this scenario, if it is beaten by 1212 AD, the player can take on the rest of the world in the fourth scenario, World Conquest. The player gets to lead the fight with their chosen ruler, and their choice of eight generals, and an advisor.
Playable factions:
Mongols - Temujin
Jadarans - Jamukha
Keraites - Togril Khan
Naimans - Tayan Khan
Players are also given the option of leading various other nations in all of the worldwide scenarios. These nations suffer from a lack of relatives as generals and significantly weaker leaders. Also absent is the ability to hire the elite Mongol units, largely viewed as the most powerful of all units in the game.
Scenario 2: Genghis Khan's Grand Ambition
This scenario enables the player to take over the world (that part of the world which was known at the time, including Europe, North Africa, and mainland Asia). The player can select to lead one of several countries, each with their varying strengths and weaknesses (for example, only when occupying Japan can Samurai be drafted, and Japan is the starting point for the Kamakura Shogun). In the Korean version of the game the player is able to play as the Goryeo Kingdom, the Korean dynasty during the Mongol invasions.
Playable factions:
Mongols - Genghis Khan
Kamakura Shogunate - Minamoto (Minamoto Sanetomo)
Khorezm Empire - Ala al-Din
Ghore Sultanate - Ghuri
Angevin Kingdom - John I (John Lackland)
Capetian Kingdom - Philip II
Scenario 3: The Birth of the Yuan Dynasty
The third scenario takes place at the point of the Yuan Dynasty (1274 AD), where Kublai Khan is the ruler of Mongolia and China. The aim is to try to rule the world.
Playable factions:
Yuan Dynasty - Kublai Khan
Kamakura Shogunate - Hojo
Il-Khan Empire - Abaga
Mameluke Sultanate - Baybars
Byzantine Empire - Michael VIII
Sicilian Kingdom - Charles I
Scenario 4: Load World Conquest Data
The fourth scenario, World Conquest, is unlocked for the year 1185 AD, but only after successful completion of the conquest of Mongolia in the first scenario. The ruler chosen in the first scenario now attempts to take over the world with his Mongol hordes. In this scenario, Genghis Khan is the default leader of the Mongol Empire, with the eight best generals and the best advisor of all the scenarios.
Playable Factions:
Mongols - (Whichever faction you played in Scenario 1)
Kamakura Shogunate - Minamoto (Minamoto Yoritomo)
The Ayyubids - Salah al-Din (Saladin)
Byzantine Empire - Isaacius II
Holy Roman Empire - Frederick I (Frederick Barbarossa)
Angevin Kingdom - Richard I (Richard the Lionhearted)
Events
Random occurrences
During play, the player can expect some random events, including typhoons, droughts, epidemics, sand storms and blizzards. There can also be bountiful harvests in some countries in the autumn.
Family relations
An important aspect to the game is to raise one's family; choose who one's daughter is going to marry and who will succeed one's ruler when he dies. As is the case with any scenario, without any successors, the game is over. A strong family-oriented empire is less susceptible to revolutions. The US version of the game removed the harem subgame entirely, in which the player raised their affinity with one o
