Once upon a time, there was a grey wolf sent down from heaven. He and his empress, a white doe, came across a great lake. This is an ancient legend passed down from generation among the Mongols, the people who ruled most of the Eurasian Continent in the middle of the 12th century.

The legend describes how Genghis Khan, although abandoned and impoverish in childhood, succeeded in building the greatest Empire that has ever existed.

With GENGHIS KHAN, the latest in a trilogy of historical simulations, Infogrames gives you the chance to make legend reality. Take the part of King Richard, the Lion-Hearted, Emperor Alexious III, Shogun Minamoto Yoritomo, or even that of the Great Khan himself, Genghis Khan. Lead your armies across the vast Eurasian of the Middle East. Build your empire with wisdom and tenacity, but beware of others whose ambition may be greater than yours. Conquer, or be conquered.

Now, KOEI and INFOGRAMES are proud to present GENGHIS KHAN. We believe the game's unique emphasis on human interaction (personal commands, selection or removal of governors and successors, Rendezvous command to create an heir and many more), will provide the player many hours of enjoyment, challenge and learning.

Genghis Khan is a top-down 2D turn-based grand strategy game, based on the real mongol leader Genghis Khan's life.

The game's main objective is to become the supreme ruler. The player can select from two campaigns: Mongol conquest or World conquest. In the Mongol conquest, players take on the role as Temujin (later known as Genghis Khan), with the goal being to unite all the tribes of Mongolia. In the World conquest, Players can be one of four characters. Similar to the Mongol conquest, players must unite all the countries together. Players can use military force (players must gather an army and lead them into war) or use diplomacy (including things such as strategic marriages).

The main focus of the game involves management of territory, as the player manages various activities that improve their provinces. Battlefields are hex tiled based, with players giving commands to units groups with the objective of trying to defeat the forces of the enemy combatants.
