In the game's words

How to use it

The Chinese civilization has its own method of building an army, namely through the War Academy, which allows the Chinese to build more military units faster by training them in groups. These groups are called Banner Armies. Each Banner Army has a specialty, whether its speed and anti-infantry, or siege and artillery. The Banner Armies available at the War Academy are: Forbidden Army, Imperial Army, Ming Army, Old Han Army, Mongolian Army, Standard Army, and the Territorial Army.

History

In the early seventeenth century, the Manchu emperor Nurhaci established the Eight Banners - administrative groups into which all families were placed, often based on lineage and tribal connections. These groups were broken down further into companies. Nurhaci wished to create a citizenry that could be called upon to wage war on enemies of the Manchu, as each company was required to furnish a number of soldiers, often 300, that together would form a larger regional banner army. Later, when Nurhaci’s successors conquered the Mongols and the Han Chinese in the mid-seventeenth century, they incorporated these new warriors into the banner army system. During its height, the Eight Banners system included ethnic Manchu, Han Chinese, and Mongol soldiers. Although it began as a foreign military system forced upon the conquered, the system quickly evolved into the core administrative philosophy behind many government practices, such as the disbursement of salaries, distribution of land, management of property, and oversight of popular welfare and justice matters.
