The MANEUVER wedge appears twice on the

rondel, to give nations ﬂexibility at all times to

act and react militarily.

MANEUVER

The maneuver action is carried out in two suc-

cessive phases:

1. In Phase one the galleys and legions of a

nation on the board can move and ﬁght. (Mo

vement action).

2. In Phase two, the nation can conquer foreign

cities (Conquest action).

In the early stages of the game, each military unit

may carry out only one maneuver action per turn.

This may be either a movement or a conquest

action. By obtaining the know-hows WHEEL,

ROADS, SAILING and NAVIGATION, a nation

can increase its actions per military unit per turn

to two or three.

Phase 1: Movement Action

All of a nation‘s military units (legions and galleys)

can be moved on the board in any desired se

quence. In every movement action, a military unit

crosses a border of a neighboring province. Red

land-borders can be crossed only by legions, and

blue sea borders crossed only by galleys. Com-

bined red-blue land-sea borders can be crossed

by both legions and galleys.

Example:

A legion with the know-how ROADS can carry

out three maneuver actions, and so may cross

three red land borders per turn.

The movement of military units into a province

where foreign units are already standing may

result in a battle if either of the nations invol

ved wants it. Legions can ﬁght only legions and

galleys only galleys. In such a battle both sides

lose the same number of similar military units,

and remove them from the game-board on a 1:1

basis.

Example:

A nation‘s three galleys enter the Province of

Athens, in which the Greeks have one galley

and one legion stationed. The Greeks demand a

ﬁght. The invaders and the Greeks each remove

one galley from the gameboard. The Greek le

gion is not involved in the ﬁght, since it cannot

ﬁght galleys.

Battles are always possible, and require no spe-

cial preparation. Military units, including those

that have not moved, can battle enemy units in

the same province. All battles are resolved one

after another. When one ﬁght is over, the next

military unit can carry out its movement and/or

ﬁght too.

As each military unit completes its movements, it

is laid on its side. This way the nation retains an

overview of which of its units still have maneuver

actions left. Units that have not moved, or only

partially moved, remain upright.

Example:

A galley with navigation that has moved only

twice will not be tipped on its side, since it can

still carry out a third maneuver action.

A city with enemy military units in its province is

not disadvantaged in any way. It can continue

producing resources and setting up military units

in its province, unimpeded. If a nation has no wish

to carry out further movements or ﬁght, it may still

engage in conquest of cities (phase 2).

Phase 2: Conquest Action

In Phase two, cities are conquered.

To take part in a conquest, military units must be

situated in the province of the city to be conquered,

and must be standing erect, that is, still capable of

carrying out an action during the turn. To conquer a

city, the number of the nation‘s active military units

(those still standing erect) must be at least equal

to the defense strength of the city.

The defense strength of any city totals:

• 1 for a city without a temple,

• 3 for a city with a temple.

To this is added:

• the number of the legions and galleys of the

defender that stand in the province of the city,

• a bonus of 1 if the defending nation has the

know-how MONARCHY, OR 2 if it has the

know-how DEMOCRACY.
