Mongol Empire — 1279

The Mongol Empire in 1279: Yuan China, the Golden Horde, the Ilkhanate and the Chagatai Khanate across 36 territories. Free in your browser.

Nine sea routes on a 36-territory board makes this the land war of the set: everything is decided by who holds the steppe corridors between the khanates. Yuan China pays the most at +6, but the Heartland is the board’s hinge — it touches four regions, and whoever holds it chooses which war to fight next.
