Example (See illustration)
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
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.
EXAMPLES OF CONQUEST ACTIONS:
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.
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.
