Description: This is a 6-scenario campaign about the Chou dynasty of
China. Each scenario has a historically accurate pre-game instruction map,
and custom AI's & PER'S. In the campaign, you lead the Chou from their
beginning as a small frontier tribe, to their demise during the Warring States
period.

The Chou dynasty (1027-221 BC) lasted longer than any other Chinese
dynasty. The Chou were a seminomadic people from the Wei Valley
region in China. The founder of the dynasty was Wu Wang, "the Martial",
who claimed that Shang dynasty misrule justified the transfer of the "mandate
of heaven". Under the Chou, agriculture and commerce developed further,
iron implements and metal coins came into use, cities grew up, and
the philosophies of Confucius, Lao Zi, and Taoism flourished.
