Genghis Khan (Civ1)

Genghis Khan (c. 1162 – 18 August 1227), born Temüjin, was the first Great Khan of the Mongols, uniting the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian steppes under his rule and founding the Mongolian Empire. He leads the Mongols in Sid Meier's Civilization.

== Gameplay ==
The historic Genghis Khan united the Mongol tribes in the 12th century, then swiftly overran much of Asia. His actual base of operations was in what is now Mongolia. Samarkand was the capital of the 14th-century conqueror Timur ("Tamberlane").
Genghis is particularly dangerous in the early stage of the game. He focuses upon military science, giving him early Chariots and an ability to expand his nation at a faster rate than any other NPC.
While other leaders may become technically more advanced towards the end game, if the Mongols have land to expand into, they will conquer it from the beginning, and annihilate any unprepared opponent. For this reason, the Mongols are one of the most difficult neighbors in Sid Meier's Civilization.
