Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf
Koei's 1992 sequel to Genghis Khan, with four scenarios from Temujin to Kublai Khan, Body Points that pay for every order, and heirs to raise; read through its SNES manual.
On this page
Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf is Koei’s sequel to Genghis Khan, titled Super Aoki Ōkami to Shiroki Mejika: Genchō Hishi on the Super Famicom. Its Japanese manual says it builds on the Secret History of the Mongols, the chronicle of Genghis Khan’s time1. Wikidata dates the game to July 1992, its Super Famicom release to April 1993, and its North American SNES release to October 19932. The claims here come from the North American SNES manual unless they say otherwise.
The game has four scenarios: Mongol Conquest (1184), Genghis Khan (1206), Yuan Dynasty (1271), and World Conquest3. Only the first three can be chosen at setup4. World Conquest follows if the player unites Mongolia before winter 12144. The Japanese manual adds that it starts the next year, from the game’s state at that point5. Scenario 1’s goal is Mongolia and the others’ is Eurasia6. The game ends if the ruler falls with no successor or becomes a rival’s vassal6. Scenario 1 offers four nations, led by Temujin, Jamuga, Togorul Khan, and Tayan Khan7. The other scenarios offer six each, among them Kublai Khan’s Yuan Dynasty and Richard I’s Angevin Kingdom7. One or two people can play8.
#How a turn works
A year has four turns, one for each season9. In the home base, the ruler gives orders for as long as his Body Points last, or hands the turn to his advisor9. Every command costs Body Points, and a command he can’t pay for can’t be carried out10. Body Points run from 0 to 1511, and illness, injury, and age lower them. A ruler with better political ability pays less for the same command; the manual’s listed costs are for grade E12. Electronic Games’ review read Body Points as a limit on the actions a character can manage in a turn, more than a measure of health13. That makes them a form of action points10.
The player commands only the home base14. Vassal states follow the policies and orders sent to their governors, and an advisor can plan for the home base14. A policy sets five things: the allocation of labor, domestic policy, investment, military focus, and diplomatic policy15.
Every season each state collects food, based on its conditions, the season, and the weather, and collects specialty items16. It also feeds its people by population and pays its troops by the number of units16. Tax comes in each spring, based on the state’s economy16. Gold, food, and population each run from 0 to 9999; economy, land yield, and popular support run from 0 to 20017.
#Characters
Characters are graded from A to E in four abilities: political, war, leadership, and charm18. War ability raises the damage a general deals19. Leadership raises his mobility and speeds his units’ recovery from confusion19. Charm makes rebellion less likely and diplomacy likelier to succeed19. A ruler can have up to eight20 generals.
#Family and succession
An empress may bear the ruler children if the two get along21. The Family command spends time with the empress and children, which the manual calls important for grooming a successor22. A prince of at least 1023 can become a general and never betrays the ruler. A princess of the same age can marry a general, who stays faithful as the ruler’s son-in-law23.
When the ruler dies of illness or in battle, a prince aged 10 or older succeeds him; with none, the game ends24. A successor who governs a vassal state makes it the new home base, and he starts with no children24. Old characters may die, sooner with low Body Points or a serious illness25.
#Trade
The Market command works only while merchants are in the state26. It sells food and specialty items, buys food, arms, and specialty items, and hires mercenaries26,27. The game has four26 merchants, Uighur, Islamic, Chinese, and Venetian; the Islamic and Venetian ones are absent from Scenario 1. An information screen maps where the merchants are and where each has his base28. Each state can produce only some of the 1029 specialty items. Mercenaries cost more or less by unit type and arrive at 50 arms and 20 training30. Selling goods brings in gold, and buying them spends it31.
Buying and selling prices both depend on the rate27, shown on the main display beside the year and season32. A specialty item’s value depends on supply and demand and varies by area33. Electronic Games’ review of the computer version describes “fluctuating markets”34, and its screenshots show the rate at 1.0 in 1184 and 1286 and 1.4 in 124135.
#Battles
Each state holds at most 20 units36. An army marches in up to five legions of up to four units each, war costs 50 gold per unit, and the food taken sets the supply36. A state’s culture decides which of the 1637 unit types it can recruit, and artillery exists only in China.
On the battle map the attacker moves first, then the defender, and each turn is a day38. A battle ends after 30 days38, and the commander’s leadership sets how many orders he can give in a day. The weather depends on the season and the climate39. It can cut mobility and supply and cause desertions39. Legions that meet fight on a separate combat display40. There, units act in order of mobility, which comes from their basic mobility, legion level, and commander’s leadership, up to 1540. The weather sets how many combat turns there are40.
A side wins by annihilating or repelling the enemy’s first legion, or by forcing its commander to surrender or defeating him41. The attacker can also win by taking every stronghold and base, and the defender by holding his base for 30 days41.
#Events
Epidemics, sandstorms, blizzards, typhoons, and droughts strike at random and lower popular support and farm output42. A blizzard or a drought halves the next harvest, and typhoons hit only tropical and subtropical climates42. An abundant harvest doubles the regular harvest43. It is equally likely in every state except one with an epidemic43. A state with low popular support may revolt, and rebels who win become an independent nation44.
#What II changes
| Genghis Khan (NES) | Genghis Khan II (SNES) | |
|---|---|---|
| Scenarios | 245 | 43 |
| Players | 1, or up to 4 in World Conquest46 | 1 or 28 |
| Orders per turn | 3 in the base country47 | as many as Body Points allow9 |
| Abilities | 6, up to 99948 | 4, graded A–E18 |
| Officers | up to 5 princes49 | up to 8 generals20 |
| Daughters marry at | 850 | 1023 |
| Merchants | 351 | 426 |
| Battle length | 30 days per order left, up to 9052 | 30 days38 |
| Unit types | 353 | 1637 |
Electronic Games’ review says the sequel keeps the original’s two scenarios, with some fine tuning, and adds two about Genghis Khan’s successors54. It also notes that letter grades replace the original’s numerical ratings55. Wikidata places Genghis Khan II third in the Aoki Ōkami to Shiroki Mejika series56.
Mechanics
| Mechanic | Kind | How |
|---|---|---|
| Commodity trading | four merchants; prices depend on a rate shown beside the season | |
| Action points | Character pool | Body Points, spent on every command |
| Dynastic succession | Prince heir | a prince aged 10 or older may succeed after illness or death in battle |
| Character aging | Condition-modified risk | old characters may die, with low Body Points or serious illness raising the risk |
| Random events | ||
| Turn order | By a stat | on the combat display units act in order of mobility; on the campaign map the attacker moves, then the defender |
