The ancient city of Merv. A gateway between East and West. A hub of trade and exchange. The greatest city in the world. In Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road, players compete for power and wealth in the prosperous city. Through careful court intrigue, timely donations to the great mosque and successful trade deals, players try to make the most of this prosperity personally. Meanwhile, beyond the city walls, Mongol hordes are approaching.
If you help build the city walls, you give up valuable opportunities to increase your influence, but leave it unprotected, and you will burn with the city. Every decision is heavy and the consequences of every misstep are disastrous. Will you rise to prominence or fade into oblivion?
