1508 AD 狮子与新月 The Lion and the Crescent

年轻的中亚猛虎巴布尔，站在命运的十字路口上。作为帖木儿的后裔，十一岁登基，十五岁夺取帝国王座，如今才及二十五岁的他，却因为伯克们的反复背叛和宿敌的强势侵入，不得不离开费尔干纳故土，在一路颠沛流离中的逃往异域喀布尔。在他身后，帖木儿帝国的残骸被乌兹别克人的旗帜覆盖。然而志满意得的乌兹别克可汗昔班尼不会想到，自己新征服的国土也处在来自大陆另一端的巨大阴影之下。狮子与新月，两大宿敌的对决，将在中亚草原掀起一轮新的沙暴。
Babur, the young tiger from Central Asia, was facing the critical challenge in his life. Inheriting a collapsing empire at the age of 11, he had to flee to the mountainous Kabul due to the threat of Uzbek enemy and betrayal of Begs. Shaybani, the ruler of Uzbek Khanate, had crushed the resistance of Timur’s descendants and annexed his empire. However, what he did not notice was a new wave of sandstorms from the West that could swallow his pride. The rise of Persian Lion and Turkish Crescent would not only reshape the balance within Islamic countries but also shake nearby civilizations, bringing further uncertainty to other parts of the continent.

在这个时代，随着蒙古诸汗国及其继承者的衰落，旧大陆的定居文明再度崛起。而火药武器的出现和普及，更使人类的战争形式发生了不可逆转的剧变。游弋于草原深处的骑手们，也不得不面对来自新时代的挑战。一个又一个游牧部落，或主动拥抱定居文明，或因外力挤压而逐渐式微。草原帝国威震四方的岁月，即将成为历史。这究竟是诸汗的黄昏，还是大草原的黎明呢？
This was an age of change. With the revival of settled civilizations and development of gunpowder weapons, nomadic tribes were gradually losing their advantages in warfare. They had to decide whether to embrace the lifestyle of their neighbors or to face increasing pressure from nearby powers. It seemed that the old days of the Steppe Empires were about to fade. Was it the dusk of the khans, or the dawn of the grassland?

此剧本设定于公元16世纪初巴布尔征服印度，建立莫卧儿王朝前夜。共计60个派系。
This scenario is about Babur’s conquest of Mongolia and the conflicts between empires of the Early 16th Century. There are 60 factions from East to West Asia.

西戎城郭枕龙荒，一望平川百里长。
汉使旌旗千骑拥，番儿冠剑万金装。
锦帏灿烂夫容毯，宝石玲珑翡翠房。
归日更陈西域记，千年国史有辉光。
——陈敬宗《送陈中郎重使西域·其六》
