As of 2021, no further updates will be made to this campaign upload. The original files used to create them have been lost from a fatal hard drive error and I have no backup. If I update this campaign [which is not guaranteed due to real life], it will be in a separate upload on the site as the maps and events would have to be recreated from scratch, which will take an inordinate amount of time.
Hi there! My first ever Emperor custom campaign. I do hope you enjoy it! :)
This is a campaign consisting of five missions. Most of the goals are attainable and can be reached, though a couple of missions are considered "Hard".
There is a text file included with this download. It contains SPOILERS about how to play the campaign, the kind of events you'll find and so on. DO NOT READ IT UNLESS YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO COMPLETE A MISSION!
Please note that ALL missions have been thoroughly tested for playability. While some missions are harder than others, a good knowledge of trading and how to balance the cities budget will help in completing the campaign. Novice players should probably avoid this campaign as it includes some advanced strategies that may result in mission failures.
Although I have tested these missions extensively to ensure events are fired as intended and that they can be "won", it is possible that I have either made the missions too difficult or made a mistake in the events. If you've found an issue with a mission, I'd like to know! Post in the comments section with the following:
* Mission you are playing
* Difficulty
* Event/year the issue occurred
* What the issue is
I cannot guarantee I can fix all issues, as some may be introduced as a result of engine limitations, but I'll do my best to tweak missions to ensure they play appropriately for all skill levels!
How to play:
- Download the file using the Download File button above
- Extract the contents of the DATA folder to the "Campaigns" folder for where your installation of Emperor is installed.
- Open up Emperor and select Custom Campaigns, then select "Power of the Tang"
- Enjoy!
Please note that the audio files provided in this download are 2 second blanks and contain no speech. This was done to ensure that the required briefing/victory tracks played. They "may" be replaced with voice tracks in a future update.
Any comments/reviews are welcomed! I would really like to get into making campaigns for Emperor across different time lines, knowing how this one played out will help immensely! :D

== Changelog ==
This changelog is updated when the campaign has been updated for any reason. It includes information that relates to each change. Only the latest version can be downloaded from the site, this is provided as a form of historical guide of the campaign's formation.
1.0.0: Initial Release
1.0.1: General Campaign Update
- Enemy invasions now trigger earlier in Tamralipti 1
- The Paper Maker has been made available in Daxingcheng 1
- A bridge has been placed in the map area of Daxingcheng
- Yangzhou now purchases Ceramics in Daxingcheng 1 + 2
NOTE: A new map has been designed for Kaicheng, but it has NOT been included in 1.0.1 as it has not been tested.
1.0.2: General Campaign Update
- The Kaicheng map has been overhauled to be more realistic.
- There are more persistent invasions in Kaicheng which get stronger.*
- Trading opportunities have been improved in Daxingcheng 2.**
- The time to complete Tamralipti 2 has been reduced significantly to 10 years.
- The treasury goal in Tamralipti 2 has been reduced to 25000 cash strings.***
- It is now required to have two allies to complete Kaicheng.
- The Yearly Profit goal in Kaicheng has been increased to 2500 cash strings.
- The importation of Wood from Chengdu in Daxingcheng 2 has been improved.
- The importation of Lacquer from Chengdu and Guangzhou in Daxingcheng 2 has been improved.
* The invasions stop after about the 12th game year. I felt it was not necessary to continually hound the player in invasions, given the extreme lack of space to build a massive army.
** Some cities now buy weapons and salt. These are made available in Daxingcheng 2 only through events that trigger in the first two years of the mission start.
*** This change was made to match the change to "completion time".
1.0.3: Balance Update
All of the Balance changes in this update focus on Kaicheng, no other mission is affected. Thanks to Gwelio for the feedback relating to this mission!
- The starting funds in Kaicheng have been increased to be more in line with the other missions
- Raw Silk cannot be imported from Tamralipti as the associated buildings are now disabled
- The requests in Kaicheng to Daxingcheng, Yangzhou and Changzhou now trigger a little later into the mission*
- The Fishing Points in Kaicheng have been removed, as they could result in confusion to the player
- Wheat can now be grown, as Game Meat + Salt + Millet isn't stable enough early on
- The beach has been scaled back somewhat to provide more space
- Ferries can now be constructed to allow quicker travel around the lake edges
- Some trees surrounding single rocks have been placed to provide the Water Feng Shui element
- There are now more trees on the map
* There have been no changes to the scripted invasions |

Just a small update: I'm planning to have a general update to the campaign up tomorrow. For obvious reasons, I will include a changelog in the download, as well as including the changes in the comments below when the updated version is posted.
Watch this space. :) |

Apologies for the delay, but I've just updated the campaign to 1.0.1!
Change log is in the opening message of the file, but I'll include it in this comment for completeness :)
1.0.1: General Campaign Update. Big thanks to Gwelio for the comments that made this update possible! :D
- Enemy invasions now trigger earlier in Tamralipti 1
- The Paper Maker has been made available in Daxingcheng 1
- A bridge has been placed in the map area of Daxingcheng
- Yangzhou now purchases Ceramics in Daxingcheng 1 + 2
NB: A new map has been designed for Kaicheng, but it has NOT been included in this version as it has not been tested for playability. It will likely be included in a later patch once I've received feedback on the current map incarnation of Kaicheng. |

I've been very busy as of late, so haven't had much chance to play the campaign a few times to try and improve it in other areas.
If I get free time, I'll try to test the campaign using the alternative Kaicheng map, but we'll see. Am also gonna try and work on a new campaign with a couple of mixed missions where possible. :)

Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to get close to no time to update the campaign. At least not for a few months anyway. I might get time during my Easter break, but the work for my degree is piling up and I can't devote any time towards the campaign. I'll try, but can't promise anything. Sorry all! :( |
