The Wall of 10,000 Li

While the many kingdoms of China warred amongst themselves during the recent past, the Xiongnu made the most of the opportunity and seized large areas of territory in the north. After unifying the empire in the name of Qin a few years ago, Emperor Shi Huangdi organized a powerful strike force, 300,000 strong, and sent it northward after the barbarians. As a result, vast regions have been recaptured, and the pestulent nomads have been sent reeling back with a stinging defeat. Before the mounted pests get a chance to return, the Emperor wants the empire's northern border sealed tight. A Great Wall, 10,000 li long, will be constructed, from Liaoyang in the east, westward to Togtoh on the northern bend of the great Yellow River, and thence southwestward near Lintao, near the source of the Wei. The sooner the wall is built the sooner the empire will be safe from the war-mongering barbarians.

Cooperative mission
1 to 8 players
In this mission each player builds a section of the Great Earthen Wall on their map to protect China. This can be a fairly long mission due to the length of time building the wall takes. Make sure you put in enough labour camps to move all that dirt and chop enough wood for the wall supports. Trading is needed if you wish to have a prosperous city. Both common and elite housing are available
