MILITARY ACTION

Example (See illustration)

EXAMPLES OF CONQUEST ACTIONS:

The defender has one galley and one legion standing in the Province of Corniclanum. The city has a temple. The defender also posses- ses the know-how MONARCHY. The defense strength of the city is 6 (3 for city with temple + 2 military units, plus 1 for MONARCHY) = TO- TAL 6.

The conquering nation clears the board of its active (still standing) military units equal to the defense strength of the city. The units removed may be legions or galleys.

At the conquest, the defending nation removes the following from the board

•its city stone

•its temple, if any

•all of its legions and galleys in the province of the conquered city

The destroyed temple is returned to the bank, for re-use.

The conquerer places his city stone (of his color) on the city, signalling the change in ownership. For this new city, it is not necessary to have any military units left in the province.

beforeafter

The defense strength of Tryos totals 2 (that is, 1 city + 1 legion). There is no know-how bonus. The city is conquered by two galleys. The city stone changes to yellow, signalling the new ow- nership.

beforeafter

Here too Tyros‘ defense strength totals 2. The city is conquered by one legion and one galley. Only a yellow city stone and a yellow legion remain. (Yellow could have attacked with two legions, and then had a yellow galley instead of a legion left over.)

RARE EXCEPTIONS:

1.If a conquering nation already owns 25 cities and so has no more city stones left for a new conquest, it can give up one of the cities foun- ded previously and use that stone for the new town.

2.If a nation has only one city left, that city cannot be conquered.
