Congratulations to the winner - redspyder

Can you build the Mongol Empire, annihilate all enemies in your path and take your place in history alongside the mighty Khans?
Taking control of the Ancient Kingdoms of China and Korea is the key to developing the Empire.
This tournament is another in a series of Short Terminator tournaments I am releasing.
It is open to all players with a decent attendance record (see below). Freemiums welcome (two-games-at-a-time).

Spoiler
Fog of War will be present in the first battle of each phase due to initial minimal military intelligence.
Fog of war will also be present in tie-breaks and play-off battles.
Given the limited speed of cavalry, chained reinforcements will be applicable.
Escalating spoils will be in place due to the rapidly accelerating popularity and recruitment methods of the mongol hordes.
(Other settings will be Terminator, Sequential, No Trench and Automatic)

Spoiler
The competitor who goes first in round 1 must either wait 10 hours before taking their turn, or inform their opponent(s) in game chat of any regions conquered during their first move, and where from.
