Age of Empires III, Definitive Edition - Battle of Lüshunkou (1894)

[Notes:] [Apologies for the lag, the main cause of this was the enemy units getting stuck at 1:07:40, so you can skip there if you prefer :p] [The map is based on the Conquest of Manchuria scenario i already uploaded and might do a third version with the Russians included soon] The land Battle of Lüshunkou took place on 21 November 1894 in Lüshunkou, Manchuria (later called Port Arthur, in present-day Liaoning Province, China) between the forces of the Empire of Japan and the Qing dynasty. It is sometimes referred to archaically in western sources as the Battle of Port Arthur, though nowadays this name is exclusive to another battle during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904. After taking control of the Yalu River, the strategic aim of Japan was to seize the heavily-defended and strategically important naval base of Lüshunkou, known in the West as "Port Arthur". This naval station had taken the Qing government sixteen years to build, and was considered superior to Hong Kong in it's facilities. Defended by it's hilly terrain and strengthened with fortifications and powerful artillery, it was widely considered to be an impregnable stronghold. Lüshunkou was also the only facility with dry docks and modern equipment capable of repairing the warships of the Beiyang Fleet, and it's loss would mean that China would no longer have the capability to repair any ship damaged in combat. The location of Lüshunkou, at the entrance to the Gulf of Bohai also meant that it controlled the sea approaches to Peking (Beijing), thus putting the Chinese capital in danger.
