History
Temüjin, born around 1162, became Genghis Khan in 1206 after he had unified the Mongol tribes. He died in August 1227. The Yuan imperial portrait album preserves the face later courts used for him. It is not a sitting from his lifetime.
The 1178 start is the boy chieftain at Ögräsh, four counties, Tengri, and rated Easy. Jamukha, if he is in your game, is the rivalry the early years turn on. The empire is a later chapter.
Before the 1206 title, the steppe politics turn on Börte, seized by the Merkits, and on the alliance and later break with Jamukha. He was proclaimed Genghis Khan in 1206 and died in August 1227.

How to play
Goal. Unite the Mongol tribes and follow the road to the 1206 title.
The card is a 16-year-old chieftain at Ögräsh, four counties, Tengri, rated Easy. The Genghis Khan title is the 1206 proclamation. Nomadic government and the decision that grants that title are part of Khans of the Steppe, released 28 April 2025. Herd size and the decision cost stay on the tooltip. If Jamukha is present, that rivalry is the early war. Secure the marriage and the heir before you ride at a stronger khan. The warfare guide covers the army. The dynasty guide covers the house that has to survive him.
Where this run fails. Dying in an early steppe war, losing the feud with Jamukha when he is present, or chasing the 1206 title before the heir and the camp are safe.
