Here comes my first Civ4 scenario/mod, because of my limited knowledge and patience about modification its not yet finished or fully tested, still I hope it could be enjoyable for some people to try it. (and help me to finish this project)
Btw, I am not really good with english so please dont be surprised if I make any(or many) mistakes.
Like the name says this is about east Asia in 1625, and the factions are:
China: Ming dynasty is about to face its end after nearly 300 years of ruling. Generations of mismanagement, corrupt rulers, natural disaters, internal rebellions and foreign invasions have weakened the empire, still its larger and stronger than any of the other nations in the region by far. Now its up to the last Ming ruler: Emperor Chong Zhen to save his dynasty, although it looks like Ming dynasty has lost the blessing of heaven, he is convinced to protect his heritage with his life.
Special unit: at northern Manchurian border, there are some "Iron rider" (experienced knights with many useful promotions), use them carefully as they are limited.
Chinese Rebellion Force: Led by Lord Li Zi Cheng, one of the most famous rebel warlord in the chinese history, the poor and oppressed people united together to create a new dynasty of their own. Although they have only one city/province at the beginning, its should not be difficult to spread their anger while imperial army are busy with Manchu invaders, the question is wherether they could replace the Ming dynasty with a new one before the foreigners fall into China.
Manchuria: Once under the rule of Ming China, the native tribes have been united and broken free from their weakening former rulers. Now its the time to finish the dream of their ancestors (Jurchen) to conquer China and beyond. Manchurian leader Huang Tai Ji has proclaimed himself emperor of the manchurian Qing dynasty and he is ready to show the world that he is the real "son of heaven".
Special unit: Around the capital city Shengjing there are eight "Banner rider" (experienced Keshik with almost all the promotions) being the leader of each army group, use them wisely.
Korea: Being an traditional ally and vassal of Ming China since beginning, the choson kingdom of Korea is convinced to assist the bigger confucian brother against the babarians, nevertheless Ming China have helped Korea in the Imjin war against Japanese invaders not too long ago, the problem is although victorius, both Korea and China have been weakened because of the war, now both have to face a new Manchurian threat without time to recover, a smaller and weaker Korea has much more to worry.
Japan: After the failed continental invasion and the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Tokugawa shogunate has to keep the unity in Japan and help Japan to recover from the war, while having no real enemies at its door (or coast), there are northern barbarians who have not yet submitted to the rule of the shogun (and the emperor).
Mongolia: After being kicked out of China and the destruction of their former capital karakorum by the chinese Ming troops, disunity and natural disasters have prevented the children of the great Khan to rise up again. Now being newly defeated by the Manchurian force, mongolian tribes have no choice but to submit to the Qing empire.
Tibet: Once belonged to the Yuan dynasty of China created by Kubilai Khan, Tibet have gained much of its freedom back after the end of Mongolian rule in China, while being officially a vassal of Ming China, Tibet is actually more close to the Mongolians and Manchurians because of the religion and relatives. Now seizing the chance of the weakening Ming empire, Tibet has broken free from China and created their own theocratic state under the leadership of the holy Dalai Lama the Fifth. Ming court has no way but to accept this as they are about to face their end, but the question is will the new (or the old) ruler of China accept the independence of Tibet once things are settled?
Dai Viet: Being once conquered by Ming China, Vietnam have regained their freedom after they have pushed the weakening chinese troops back into China, their leader Le Loi has preclaimed himself "emperor "and the founder of the Le dynasty, however at 1625, the le Empire is also weakened like their former invaders, while still one of the major forces in southeast asia, will Dai Viet hold their positions against local enemies and possible new threat?
Burma: After centuries of fighting among the local city states/kingdoms, Burmans have reestablished their dynasty at the city of Ava, now they are ready to face the threat from the east(Siam and Dai Viet), west (Arkan) and possibly north. However, Burma also know that their old enemy: the Portugese has establised their position at the south, But surely Burma will beat the european invaders like they once had.
Portugal (and other Europeans): While being the richest and most advanced (Ming China not included) people around european have seriously lack of Manpower, and this will prevent them from becoming a major faction in the region (at least for a few more centuries). To hold their position at Malacca, Aomen/Macao and Taiwan/Formosa will be the main job for the europeans.
