=Geography=

Ancient China was located in the Eastern Part of Asia. They started beside the Huang River a.k.a the Yellow River, but this was a mistake because the water ruined crops, starting their civilization was good but also bad because it made them geographically isolated from other civilizations. They were isolated by bodies of water such as The Indian Ocean and The China Sea. They were also isolated from the Himalayan Mountains and the Gobi Desert. Also the Chinese thought that China was in the center of the world, so they named themselves "Zhong Guo" which mean the middle.

=Technology=

Ancient Chinese people made the compass and gunpowder they also created paper making. A city's population is confined to housing plots designated on the map by the player. Empty plots are soon developed by arriving immigrants, provided that they are adjacent to a road. Each house belongs to a discrete quality level which affects, among other things, the amount it pays in taxes to the city, and the number of residents it can accommodate. Initially, the houses that are developed on vacant plots are of the lowest quality slums llusion has already been made to the eclipses mentioned in Confucius' history as a means by which the probability of his general truth as a historian may in a certain measure be gauged. A few words upon the Chinese calendar, as it is and was, may then not be amiss. The Chinese month has from first to last been.
