Here's a sampling of the innovative game features...
- Unlike normal Conquest games, the AI will
build armies and use them in battle against you! Prepare for a whole new
way of creating armies.
-
Multiple Shoguns: In the original scenario, you had only one Shogun. If that Shogun died, your civilization collapsed. In AOS, your first Shogun can now raise heirs to the throne. Once you have Shogun princes, your society is much safer because ALL of your Shoguns must die before your civilization collapses.
- Special abilities: new special abilities for Agricultural and Political civilizations.

 |
 |
| Farming Co-op | Imperial Retreat | Den of Spies |
- Cultural warfare: unique improvements that generate only culture points allow small civs to compete culturally with large ones.

| Tea Pavilion | Poets Guild | Confuscion School |
- New leader graphics: Clan banners combined with a new method for showing mood and technical advancement.

LENGTH: medium to long. PLAYERS: single or multi. |
