3 XIII Century: the most vast empires and powerful kingdoms con- They tend the absolute rule.
It is a period of strong divisions and great contradictions: the desire to unify Europe and the entire Mediterranean basin, the desire to restore a great universal power, memory of a now distant past, still survive in the Holy Roman Empire to West, and the Eastern Roman Empire.
But at DEFEAT against military and political, to these great empires, now oppon- Gono powerful opponents from the glorious culture and endless energy, coming from the south, from the east and from within the same Europe.
This time the battle is also held and especially on a different level, higher and more delicate, more important and the most difficult to conquer: the winner does not dominate it on mere lands, seas, cities, fortresses, strategic positions, not only will control the wealth, commerce, power policy tico, this time the winner will get the absolute domination of every single soul in this world.
In a period of struggles and clashes that transcend finiteness human, of empires Sacred, religious schisms, Holy Land from win, wars to be proclaimed, the Popes and Antipopes, it must be an absolute power that imposes a charge to others and be upgraded the role of undisputed ruler.
Who is he? In the Middle Ages Universalis, players must develop United in its commercial, diplomatic and mil- tate, facing catastrophic events, wars and betrayals.
Who will get the highest number of honor points (PO) at the end match will be the winner.
DURATION OF THE GAME There are 3 ways to modulate the duration of the game and suit your needs: Time Limit: setting a maximum time for the par- tita.
When time runs out, you complete the turn of game going and then the game ends: the player with more PO, wins the game.
Limit of days: a maximum number of rounds is fixed by play and, after the last round, the player with the most PO, wins the game.
Limit of PO: The PO number is fixed to reach for end the game.
This can happen in two ways: 1) when a player reaches or exceeds this limit, introduction considering the points already totalized and those that must tota- lizzare at the end of shift, it can say so and the game ends at end of the current round.
Note: If you are wrong, the game continues normally.
2) when a player reaches the end of the shift limit considering only the points already aggregated.
In both cases, the player with more PO after the game, It will be the winner.
You can use all modes together, or pick only two or only one.
The PO acquired during the game are recorded on the scoreboard.
Example: the players decide to play with a limit of 30 BIT.
During the game, the Blue has already counted 28.
After a attack carried out successfully, you realize that you have met his Objective card, which is worth another 3 PO.
declares immediate ately victory to end the match at the end of the current round.
Example: the players decide to play a game with a time limit set to 3 hours and / or 10 rounds.
If 10 rounds of play They are completed before the 3 hours the game is interrupted.
Otherwise, regardless of rounds completed the game interrupted after 3 hours of game play.

4 Separate the cards in 4 different decks (Empire, magnets, Events, Treasury), then mix them and place them face down near the game board.
Each player chooses a color game (alternatively It can be drawn) and a relative Kingdom among those available: Byzantine, Mamluk Sultanate, Kingdom of Hungary, Holy Roman Empire, or Khanate the Golden Horde.
Then it receives its allocation of game: Coins for a total of 1000 Fiorini Mercantile (miniature) 1 Caravan (miniature) 1 Galea (miniature) 1 Cathedral (thumbnail) 1 Captain (miniature) 1 Catapult (card) 1 War Wagon (miniature) 1 player sheet 1 Screen 1 Dice 3 1.
If there is at least a Christian player, he is assigned Pope: he pulls lots of players who have a United Christian (Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary).
2.
On each Settlement Center (X) on the map is piazza Zano Village a card and a card with Tower the exception of a Inhabited Center your choice for each United the players, where it goes instead placed a thumbnail City (capital of the Kingdom).
Note: of Constantinople goes It placed a fort instead of a tower, while on Kiev should not be buildings of any kind.
3.
The players place their own Cathedral in a some- Siasi territory of His Kingdom.
4.
The players place one on each Fante Heavy territories Preparation Note: this is not the final board but that of the prototype.
The we report to give you an idea how will.

5 thorium in their possession.
The player who is awarded the Pope places 1 additional Footman Heavy in the territory State of the Church, since it is a territory in its possession.
Note: State of the Church is represented yellow area around the city of Rome.
5.
Players then place the Caravan, the Float War, the Captain and the Catapult's Villages / City of its United as they prefer.
Galleys and Merchant go into villages with a port (X icon).
Note: Players who start the game without Vil- down there with Porto (X) icon, can place the Their Merchant and / or Galleys in any territory a port of a neighboring kingdom with its own.
6.
Each player then in turn positioned as preferred risce a total of 35 points of the value of their Force Army (40 points for the Pope player), taking into that the Jack is 1 VF, the Archer 3 VF, the Fante Heavy 5 VF, the Knight 10 VF.
can place them in their territories with the Villages (maximum 10 VF armed) or where there is capital (maximum of 30 VF aramte).
Where there is the Cathedral you can have 10 VF more.
You can also place in the Armed Galea own and / or Float War (maximum 20 VF for half).
For example, the blue player adds 3 Fanti Heavy (5 + 5 + 5 = 15 VF) in the territory where it has its Ca- capital.
Here there was already a heavy Fante (5 VF), so the VF total is 20 less than the limit of the capital which is 30.
Then add 2 Archers and 4 Fanti (3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 10 VF) in the territory where the Cathedral and 1 Cavalie- King (VF 10) places it on its Float War.
Look at the chapter "Overpopulation" for how work positioning limits.
7.
Each player takes the papers relating to the pro- Objective prio United, shuffles and draws a chance.
The cards of his Kingdom are easily identified by the back.
The remaining cards are removed from the game.
8.
Finally, each player places their 5 counters Tech- nology on the level 0 of the corresponding grids backboard and its scorecard on the grid 0 OPs.
At this point the preparation phase is completed.
The values of force (VF) according to the type of army: Guy VF knave 1 Archer 3 Heavy infantryman 5 Knight 10

Example: in a 4 player game the blue player, last played in the last round, bets first in the auction and chooses to offer 10 florins; the yellow player, next to last in the previous round, and follows tip 15 guilders and then the green 20 guilders.
At this point the Red player passes, and then takes the last piece Player (4th player).
The blue player resumes betting round and offers 25 guilders, then the yellow one passes (up and become the 3rd player), while the green tip 40 guilders.
The blue player passes and becomes the 2nd player, then the first player is green and has 40 guilders in its game reserves.
Empire cards represent special characters, each specializing in one or more fields, such as the combat, espionage, taxes, diplomacy, trade.
The combinations avail- ble with the technologies enhance and extend features.
The technological level (LT) affects many aspects of the game and it depends on the number of acquired technologies site by the player: less than 8 equals LT S, from 8 to 15 technologies to LT II and III 16+ technologies to LT.
The acquisition of a technology indicates a progressive I know and development in a given field and has numerous consequences: for example, can increase the capacity the characters or reduce the effects of some disasters.
There are 6 technology trees: Military, Science-Com- trade, Religion, Agriculture-Craft, Politics, University-Medicine.
A special marker on scoreboard shows the progress in each branch for each player.
In this Regulation whenever you mention a technology is in CAPS.
A complete turn of the game is divided into 10 phases.
All stages, with the exception of Combat and Diplomacy, you can play simultaneously in all players.

The player that passes takes card with the highest order number still provi- it.
If no one makes a bet, the previous order remains.
The first round of play begins the auction by more player young and continue clockwise (if no one bets remains the order clockwise from the youngest player).
Only who wins the auction (the first player) pays Fiorini his latest offering by placing them in the reserve, others Players will not lose anything instead.
Note: If the vincito- King auction has committed a mistake and does not possess sufficiently room Fiorini, loses 1 PO and becomes the last round: the others climb position and the new first player pays The Fiorini who had bet.
2.

It indicates the possibility of building a settlement that will enable trade and placement of reinforcements.
Example: You can convert a Village in City paying 100 florins (150-50 = 100) or a tower in Fort paying 200 florins (300-100 = 200).

• The player who owns the territory of the capital of Golden Horde also receives +5 Fiorini from every Russian principality (Kiev, Turov, Chernigov, Polotsk, Smelensk, Murom / Ryazan ', Vladimir) until they They are occupied by armies of other players.
Then there are the following modifiers for Empire cards and for technologies: • Gabelliere Paper: If you have MATHEMATICS, doubles Fiorini obtained from the territories.

If also you have 4 centers Abitati and VASSALLAG- GIO collects 10 x 4 = 40 Fiorini.
It also has 2 City and SIGNORIA cashes 2 x 50 = 100 Fiorini.
Total: 120 + 40 + 100 = 260 Fiorini.
The player Sheet is used to write down some important many game information and facilitate the calculation of at CuNi items as taxes or reinforcements to be taken.

7.
STAGE EVENTS This phase is divided into 4 sub-phases listed below and so ordered.
Events.
The first player to draw 1 card round Event from the bottom of the deck.
First checks the back MENT the card that shows the possible areas of impact: then pulls 1d6 and checks where the event takes place.
Then reads the Paper effects to other players and they proceeded from their application.
Disasters.
From the 2nd round of play on the first turn He rolls 2d6; a double one because the calamity, which is caught from the bottom of Calamity deck and applies to all.
If the result is not a double one, the next round will be valid for the activation of disasters, 1 double and Double 2.
For each turn that does not occur a calami- ty, the results valid will increase gradually (all double up to 3, all double up to 4, up to all double Armies are represented by thumbnails Fanti (force value 1), the Archers (3), of the Fanti Heavy (5) and the Knights (10).
When you are talking about value of the armed, or more simply armed, reference is made to force them to value (VF) com- Plessiva.
Example: "receive 10 armed" means, get a num- ber of armies equal to a VF of 10: is the player choose how many and which ones.
Example: A player who controls all of its United Starting, 2 small kingdoms and BIGOTRY, receives 10 armed reinforcement.
Prisoners represent 10% of the losses subi- you in battle and can be redeemed with Fiorini or with an equal exchange.
See the section "Combat".
Example: the player first turn draws a card Event, determines that applies in the Black Sea and Quin- of the law: "It triggers a storm.
All players in ships lost in the middle of the affected area load (whether armed or goods).
If by the end the shift does not leave the area (or take refuge in a Port friendly or neutral) vessels concerned will destroyed and removed.
" Example: the second game turn out two to 1 die roll.
Then the first player on duty fishing Calamities a paper, it determines that applies against the Hungarian king and therefore the law: "Heresy.
Remove 1 religious building in the possessions of the victim and the first edition religious office of each player present in the Kingdom and in neighboring Kingdoms to his possessions.
where vengo- not removed the Cathedrals and 1d6 of armed Player become heretical: replace them with armed barbaric ".


Page 10
10 5, all double up to 6); once you reached all double up to 6, the combinations do not increase more.
After the resolution of calamities combinations twenty Gono reset.
The next round does not hold again for disasters, but by the next turn it starts with valid result of double 1, and so on.
If you get a valid result, the procedure is as for events, drawing a card from the bottom of the deck Calamity and controlling the back of the card to determine the area (or the target) of Calamity.
Rebellions.
If there are areas with less than 5 Armed this sti are at risk of Rebellion.
You roll 1d4: the result + 1 It expresses the number of armies that need to have the territories to avoid the rebellion.
This technology increases the LAW of 1 die roll.
On the contrary the SIGNORIA and FEUDALISM diminui- scono the result of the nut 1.
If there is a rebellion in the territory, the armies of gioca- tor must be removed and replaced with 1D6 armed barbarian plus 1 Leader Barbaro 1st level, if this is still Available in the game reserve.
Barbarians.
Captains Barbarians enlist respectively depending on their level, 1, 2 or 3 armed in their territory rio; Kingdoms also partially occupied by armed barbaric enlist 1 army in any territory occupied by armies of a player.
Then solve all the fighting Barbarian second their rules of engagement (see the "Barbarians" section).
8.
PHASE POSITIONING The player must place in the territories of the map play all purchased miniatures and / or obtained in stages previous.
It can place them in the territories or in the media military transport.
If owns LOGISTICS can place the 10% rounding since by default the armed behind their screen.
During Phase Combat can reposition them any territory that contains a settlement, but only a maximum of 5, 10 or 15 according to its armed LT (1st, 2nd or 3rd).
If owns ROADS can place them on any territory in their possession that is adjacent to one with a settlement (no islands).
9.
STAGE COMBAT The player can load / unload the armed on / by own means of war, move them and / or attack.
Yes They can perform these actions in the order that you prefer and it is also possible to repeat several times.
Example: The blue player has a territory with 3 Armed and one with 2.
You roll the dice and gets 2, the second territory rebels, while the former is not.
Example: a territory contains 1 Archer Barbarian 1 Captain Barbaro second level.
The territory question is part of a United occupied by the player blue.
Events are added in phase in the territory 3 armed barbaric.
Example: You can load the Armed, move, Attack, move and Attach yet.
The Means War (Galea and war Carro) Han-


Page 11
11 LOAD DISCHARGE Load and unload military and transportation costs 0 PM if in the territory there is a settlement (Village / Castle / City) or a Captain, in all other cases 1 point Move- chin (PM).
The Float War must be in the same territory Armed to upload / download.
The Galea instead must be in a sea zone adjacent to the land territory where to upload / download armed.
MOVEMENT Move from one territory (or sea zone) to another Basic costs 1 MP.
There are several modifiers of land movement: cross a river coast 1 PM additional, a territory hilly or wooded rio 2 PM, a mountainous territory 3 PM.
Through a narrow overland 3 PM coast.
finally cross a desert coast 2 PM territory for wagons war (while always 1 MP costs for wagons to be trans- transport).
For movement by sea: to enter or exit a Port costs 1 MP, moving offshore costs 2 PM (zones not directly adjoining territories).
these modifiers They are summarized in the player's screen.
They can move only the means of war, not the Armed.
The means of war must have loaded at least one of the armed its color to move.
It may happen, that a means of transport remains without armed, in which case it may not move, and if not will be occupied within the next turn by the armies of his color or those of his enemy, will be removed and He will return in the player's reserve.
If it is occupied by armies of an enemy must be replaced with the thumbnail the new player.
The number of PM available for any means by di- war hangs, as well as its load capacity, since its level, as indicated by the following table: War means ability to load PM The level 20 7 II level 40 8 III level 60 9 Note: a thumbnail-free banners is the first level, with the small banner is Level II, with the great standard is Level III.
The wagon movement is improved by +1 from techno- nologies STREETS and MAPS.
That of the +1 Galea by WEAVING, Astronomy and Cartography.
no value of its own motion and a specific load capacity, allowing it to load a number of armed and siege means.
Only the Military means can upload media siege and Captains.
Each army occupies 1 point of load capacity the means of transport, the Captains do not occupy space, the siege and the means of transport OC- Cupano each 5 points of the loading capacity of the means of transport.
The movement points (PM) express the ability of means of transport (or civil war) to move, upload and download.
For example, a medium that has 6 PM, can move the 3 territories, download, and then moving the other two territories.
The level of means of transport is its evolution in terms of capacity of movement, trans- extruded and, in the case of galleys, also combat.
A Float Level II War can therefore for exam- ple load 8 Armed Fante Heavy (5 VF) and make 9 movements.


Page 12
12 ATTACK There are several types of battles: the pitched battle, l 'Siege that takes place with the appropriate means of Siege, l 'Assault and Battleship.
This section trattere- mo the pitched battle.
The pitched battle can serve to win a territory and / or to conquer a means of transport.
If the territory is defended and want to conquer the armed AT- taccanti must be located in an area adjacent to it.
If the territory is already won and should be conquered only transport, the armed attackers must instead find already the same transport area.
An attack consists of one or more battles fought with Nuts.
We follow these steps: 1.
The attacker aloud communicates the Captain from which part of the attack and the area / means of transport attached; 2.
they play the Empire cards.
3.
You roll the die.
4.
Calculate the results.
Some important notes: • The attacking army must be accompanied by a Captain to attack.
In the absence of it can only defend themselves.
• A Captain may perform any number of battles against the same opponent or against warn- sari different, but the maximum number of achievements for turn equal to his level.
• Armies attacking an adjacent territory, to conquer it must be equipped with one or more means of transport able to transport them and equipped of Points Movement (PM) needed to occupy the territory if you win, if not, the attack can not future.
• The defender is obliged to use in defense all armed in the area, whether they are in the territory rio same or loaded on a means of transport.
USE OF EMPIRE CARDS Before you roll the dice, the attacker before and the defender Then, they reveal the empire card they intend to play for that battle; the maximum number of cards Empire playable by every player, for every roll of the dice, you equal to its LT.
The cards you can play go together with other cards and with the technologies acquired by the player.
Some cards can only be used in the attack, other only defense, some in both situations.
this restric- it is indicated on the Empire card.
The Siege Vehicles are siege engines Medieval to weaken or destroy the fortified tions of the enemy: Catapult, Trebuchet and Bombard.
It also gives a bonus in battles pitched.
The Nuts available in the game are 1d4, 1d6 and 1d8.
They are used in battles and other details phases of the game, as for the events and calamities.
Example : 3 light Fanti, 2 archers and 3 Fanti Heavy (24 value) attack an adjacent territory.
With them there is a Float War I level, which can carry 20 armed and that has a residual movement of 2.
The young er attacker can use in the attack only 20 Ar- mate, giving up to 1 archer and 1 light Fante, since that they are not able to be moved by the Chariot.
Example : the blue player attacks the yellow one.
having an LT 3, can play up to 3 Empire cards.
His opponent who has instead LT 2 can respond to Maximum 2 Empire cards.
For example, the card allows the player to Sicario watching the other's Empire cards and removing them one of his choice.
For example, the card is worth Heroin use of a greater nut than in battle.
If you used 1d6, 1d8 you use.


Page 13
13 USE OF TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY: assigns a +1 bonus if the ratio the forces is equal to or greater than 3: 1 or cancels the effect the other player.
LOGISTICS (pitched battles only): it allows you added come when you want, the army into battle reserves gathered behind the player Screen: reserves They can be up to 5, 10 or 15 depending on the VF His LT; You can repeat this process for each 1 time pitched battle on offense or defense.
this technology can be used only if the territory of the bell battle is contiguous with the settlement of a player and does not They may exceed the population limits.
For many other technologies that indirectly affect The fighting, which MYSTICISM AND MONOTHEISM, TACTICS, ATTRITION, MEDICINE, surgical GIA, HOSPITAL, SCIENCE: ENGINEERING, alkyd MIA, refer to their description for an explanation he detailed.
SHOOT THE NUT Both players roll 1d6, unless they come modifiers in the game which we will see later; the result drawn add any bonuses given by the Empire cards and calculate their total combat .
RESULT The difference between the two totals of combat (nuts +bonus) determines the loss of the one who got the total less fighting, expressed in VF.
The winner loses half of this value (rounded down).
Each player assigns losses to their forces as She prefers.
The winner will inflict losses exceeding the num- ro armies engaged in battle, although the difference of total combat it could afford; if one of the contestants has not enough armies to which assign damages, losses on both sides are recalculated based on this actual amount.
In case of a tie nobody wins and nothing happens.
RESULT FOR CARDS AND MINIATURE After combat, each player discards all the cards Empire used which used except one which incorporates in his own hand.
90% of the destroyed armies are removed from the map- pa and placed in the game reserve.
The 10% of them (for defects to, at least 1 army) instead goes to the Player supply opponent (Prisoners).
Example : the attacker plays a Leader Card having TACTICAL getting +2 to the die roll; plays then also the Genius card having obtained ENGINEERING Nendo then +4 die roll.
Example 1 : the attacker and defender have no bonus, both throw 1d6, the attacker is 2, the defender is 3.
The attacker loses one army, defender no.
Example 2 : The attacker plays the Crossbow card (+1 on offense or defense), the defender is no bonus, and he makes the attacker pulls 6, the defender pulls and makes 2.
The difference is 5 (7-2 = 5): the defender loses 5 armed, the attacker loses 2 armed Example 3 : The attacker plays the Crossbow card (+1 On attack or defense), the defender plays the card GENIUS and the Engineering Technology (which com- combination damage +2 in attack or in defense).
The otherwise attacking you roll 3 (3 + 1 = 4) and defender 2 (2 + 2 = 4): the result is equal and there are no leaks and nothing happens.
Example 4 : The attacker plays the Crossbow card (+1 on offense or defense), the heroine card (one level higher than die), it has the technology STRATEGY (+1 attack or defense if the relation of forces is at least 3: 1) and uses 1 Bombard (+1 on attack or defense); the defender has no bonus.
The attacker rolls 1d8 and makes 3 (3 + 5 = 8), the defender pulls one: the defender loses 12 ar- mate, the attacker loses 6 armies.
However, if the defender has only 10 armed, will lose them all, and the attacker lose only 5 (half effective).

14 RESULT FOR THE CAPTAINS When a Captain wins a battle, buy 1 level.
It is added to the thumbnail of the layer pennant corresponding.
You can earn a maximum of 1 level experience in turn and at most 3 levels for each individual Captain.
When a Captain performs one or more attacks against a goal without conquer it loses 1 level, though he was only 1 level is removed and returned to the player's reserves.
If more Captains attack the same target at the same ously, the attacker decides to each die roll with which Captain attack and what Empire card use; self the attack will be unsuccessful all Captains will be reduced 1 level of experience.
If you own TACTICS, only the UL- thyme Captain that attacked is reduced by 1 level.
MULTIPLE ATTACK In the case of more players on defense (or more players attack in the case of a Crusade), the players attack and defend one at a time alternating with the roll of the dice and using only his empire cards.
The order to attack or defense is decided by the party with more players, or in case parity from the attacker.
CONQUEST OF A TERRITORY When the attacker destroys the armies on a territory / means of transportation enemy, must occupy at least the armies that used in the attack.
In the conquered territory could be captains, means of transport, means of siege, settlements or buildings (military, religious and commercial) of the defeated: the winner must decide what to do.
It can: • Destroy : thumbnails and tiles are destroyedremoved and returned to the Player supply or game.
Some elements, such as the Captain, the cathedra drale, Tower, fort and castle, if destroyed give the OPs (see table in chapter PO End Game), but only if they belonged to a player.
• loot : for each of the elements sopraelen-ed the winner gets an equal amount of Fiorini to half their value.
The looted items back in the player's reserves defeated or game reserve.
• Conquering them : settlements, siege vehicles and buildingsBusiness / religious, if not destroyed or looted, They go to the player who conquered the territory in which they are located.
The same for the means of transport, but in this case this case the original miniatures go in the player's reserves defeated and must be replaced by those of the winner.
you can not They are conquering captains.
The player must keep account normal game restrictions, such as limits defined by its own LT as regards means of transportation and siege means.
Example : a Captain's level, which plays a tery size conquering a territory, become Level II.
Example : if the blue player's attacking players yellow and green that defend together, first place a battle against the yellow and then against the green one.
Example : if the winner is LT II and already has 2 Ca- rovane, he will have to destroy or plunder force.


Page 15
15 It is not mandatory to apply one of these options, the winner may decide to destroy the Captain and enemy caravans, plunder and conquest Cathedral being the City.
CONQUEST OF A MEANS OF TRANSPORT When you defeat the last army on the means of trans- transport to behave as described for the conquest of a territory; you can not have more modes of transport those granted by your LT.
Excess ones must be destroyed.
ASSAULT TO A FORT You can do when the defender has a fort in territory (tower, fort or castle).
First occurs if some armed defender are to be considered outside the fortification, since the fortification has a capacity limit: contains maximum 10 VF if it is a tower, it is a Fortilizio 20 VF, 30 VF if It is a castle.
If some armed not enter the space then they are responsible before going outside and held a pitched battle against them.
If all the armies of the defender can get inside the fortification, you can play Assault.
There are some changes to apply than the pitched battle: • The attacker uses the basic 1d4.
• The defender uses 1d6 + 1 for the Tower, 1d6 + 2 for the Walled ilding, 1d6 + 3 for the Castle • If the defender wins, he loses armies.
• If the assault is conducted by sea, the defender can exploit tare LOGISTICS, but only if the territory contains a settlement of the defender.
SIEGE It can lead when the defender has a fortification in the territory (tower, fort or castle).
First, as for the Assault, occurs if some armies of defense should be considered out of the fortification, given that the fortification has a limit of capacity, as already described, (contains 10 VF if it is a Torre, 20 VF if it is a fort, 30 VF if it is a castle).
If some armies do not come into the available space, First is turning a pitched battle against them.
elimi- mined these armies or failing this, the attacker can declare a siege on condition that has at least one means of siege and has a number of armed upper King beleaguered .
The siege vehicles have an ability to break down the strong- ficazioni growing: 1 Catapult, Trebuchet 2, 3 Bombard.
Military buildings have a growing resistance value: Tower 1, Fortilizio 2, 3 Castle.
When the fortification suffers 1 damage should be replaced with Example : The green player of assaulting a Fortilizio red player.
Both choose not to play Empire cards.
The blue player rolls 1d4 and gets 3 while the red player rolls 1d6 and gets 4, to which +2 bonus sum of their fort.
The Blue player removes three armies as losses while the red player will not remove any.
Example : the blue player attacks an area of yellow player where there are 12 armed and Torre.
10 armies are considered within the Tower and 2 outside.
The blue player then resolves the battle pitched against two external armed and thus can besiege the tower.
Example : the attacker has a catapult; can then besiege a castle for 2 rounds and then assault the Remaining Tower, in this case the defense will only 1 level of military building intact, so only 10 armies will be considered in it.
Example: if Tunis is besieged by sea, a Carova-

Page 16
16 the lower fortification: so when a subi- Castle utes 1 damage becomes a fort or when a Castle 2 suffers damage becomes a Tower.
If the Tower undergoes 1 more damage to be removed, as well as a castle that subi- utes 3 or Fortilizio who suffers 2 or more.
• If the armed besieged end up outside the fortified cation because of its destruction, the attacker must play a pitched battle against them before able to resume the siege.
• The attacker can interrupt the siege when he wants and pass such assault or move.
• If carried by land, the siege prevents media transport (civil and military) to exit / enter the terri- thorium by land, but they can always do so by sea.
To the Conversely, if the siege is conducted by sea, transport can not leave / enter the territory by sea, but they can do it by land.
If the siege is conducted from both routes, means of transport can not move in the territory under any circumstances.
At the end of each turn after the first in which you CARRY to a siege, the armies of both parties undergo a attrition : 10% of VF armed (rounddefect) must be in the player's reserve.
LOGISTICS cancels this effect.
NAVAL BATTLES In a naval battle, first Galleys involve- you speronano an opponent: you roll 1d4 and add a bonus equal to the level of the Galea.
The result is losses on the other side.
The losses are chosen by the owner of the armed and removed from the board.
After this initial clash, if there are still armed by both sides, switching to a normal combat pitched .
You can also apply the following changes: The player who owns ALCHEMY gets a fixed +1 every warship in the initial clash and fixed +1 I know when the die roll in the subsequent fighting pitched.
Apply all of the combat bonus pitched, com- STRATEGY taken or +1 for each half of the Siege III embarked level.
• Galleys do not participate in land battles, nem- not when there are landings by a fleet of armed in a coastal territory.
• The naval battles take place just offshore.
If you attack a port does not happen ramming starting with its losses and move directly to classic fight.
• It is obliged to attack the port and its inserted diamento to attack the ships docked in it, even if the city is in possession of the barbarians.
If the na therein could be moved by land, while a Mercantile would be forced to remain there.
Example : at the end of the second round of the siege yellow player is besieging with 15 armed and catapult Fortilizio the green player in which di- cleave the first armed.
Both have in the own 1 reserve army because of attrition.
Example : The Green player uses his Galea III level, which has uploaded 40 armed, to attack the merchant of the blue player protected by Galea I level with 25 armed.
Both speronano, throwing 1d4: the green player gets 2, while the Blue gets 3.
The green player because then 5 losses opponent (2 + 3 nut of the Galea level) while the green will cause 3.


Page 17
17 ships docked are NOT the player who possie- of the settlement, and you have a deal with this that allows (Territories Step), you can attach Player ships.
• If the settlement is fortified you can decide whether to make a siege by sea, land to make a siege by land or directly assault the fortification.
BLOCKS NAVAL You can use their armies to block the ships opponents, using the shape of the coastline.
The blockades can be of two types: passive and active .
Passive : a player who controls both territoriesoverlook a narrow, automatically generates a naval blockade against the other players, who, if you want to spend a pact should take with him Territories step or must win at least 1 2 of coastal territories and break so the block.
Active : a fleet with at least 1 Galea says in con-fronts of another player the naval blockade in the area of sea ​​areas where there is: the enemy fleet can cross the block only if it is made by a higher number Galee, otherwise it will only pass if they witness the battle and passes in numerical advantage; who created the block can ingag- jars battle even outnumbered.
Who says the blockade can stop it in round next.
ELIMINATION OF A PLAYER If the far land / means of transport of a young er is eliminated from the game, the winner takes possession of all the Empire cards, the TECHNOLOGY (the Tech- Double gie not count) and all of the defeated florins.
Example : the red player occupies both Thrace that Misia (Dardanelles) by imposing a naval blockade so that no enemy ship can move from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and vice versa.
