Late Ming: Rise Through the Conscription of Imperial Soldiers

[Summon Soldiers] + [Conquer the Realm] +

Just as the protagonist is being hunted by bandits and stands on the brink of death, his blood stains an old command token left behind by his parents, activating the Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties Summoning System.

Summoning rules:

- At the start, basic troops from three Asian civilizations are unlocked: China (Ming and Qing), Japan, and the Mughal Empire of India. The protagonist can summon 10 basic infantry for free each day, chosen randomly from the three civilizations or specified by the protagonist. Summoning costs “resource points” (food, silver, and population can all be exchanged for them; 1 shi of grain = 1 resource point, and 1 liang of silver = 10 resource points).

- Unlocking units: As the protagonist’s power expands and he completes System missions (such as “Repel the Bandits,” “Hold the Fort,” and “Gather Refugees”), he gradually unlocks mid-tier and advanced units, as well as unique buildings from each civilization (such as China’s Confucian Temple, Japan’s shrines, and India’s Agra Fort) and technology bonuses.
