Japanese versions of the game has a rather unusual "dating" mini-game which Genghis Khan attempts to woo various female characters to become his concubines.

This mini game has been removed from overseas versions for obvious reasons. Home computer versions have somewhat more risque scenes while console versions' scenes are more tame.
