All Under Heaven takes the game and transforms it into a Medieval Asian setting, in a period on the eve of the Mongol invasions of Asia, where the entire continent is about to be thrown into a period of warfare which will shape its history and determine the autonomy of many sovereign nations. In All Under Heaven, you may choose to control one of 15 nations from the start date of 1180 A.D. to the end date of 1280 A.D. Hundreds of new units, buildings, events, traits, ancillaries, and other features will bring the mystique and splendor of the Far East into your home.
Carrying long spears (mdung) these professional warriors wear mail armour constructed of either finely made iron rings or scales (lung gi khrab) or lamellae armor made of thin plates and iron foils (byang bu’i khrab). These infantrymen wear a short form of this armour (khrab thung ha) which covers the torso down to the knee. Patronage from the newly-founded Gompas means skilled armourers can expect to continue the fine tradition of metalworking in Tibet, even though fewer armoured warriors enter battle than during the days of the Empire.
In addition to their long spears (mdung) they carry distinctive rattan or cane shields (sba phub).
