Campaign
"In the 14th century, while lesser men tear apart the decaying remains of the Mongol Empire, Tamerlane sees entrophy as opportunity. A brilliant, charismatic tactician bred on the rugged steppes of Transoxiana, can he restore the splendor of the fractured state—even if he must slaughter half of its inhabitants in the process?"
