Tokugawa (Japan)
Having served under the legendary Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu put an end to Japan’s chaotic Sengoku period following the famous Battle of Sekigahara where he won after leading a coalition of Eastern Army consisting of clans from East Japan against an alliance of Western Army lead by Ishida Mitsunari.
He went on to establish the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan thereafter and is known as one of the three Great Unifiers in the land of the rising sun along with Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
His in-game Sakoku agenda, inspired by the edict of the same name made by his grandson, means he dislikes Civilizations that have conquered other Civilizations’ original capitals.

He went on to establish the Afsharid Dynasty and ruled as the Shah of Iran.

His land conquests also covered most of Hungary and the Ottoman annexed a huge area of the Middle East and North Africa.
