Overview

X

Turn

First roll the Fate dice + 1 Empire Dice for each Province OR Port you have

Set aside any Skulls, but the other dice can have up to 2 rerolls, each time setting aside Skulls

If the Fate Dice results in Omens, you can change one dice to any face, this includes changing a Skull

For each Good/Port face, gain a good for each port you have

Skulls provide a single Good each

You cannot go above you maximum allowed Goods, excess are lost

After which, collect Food based on the number of Food showing, Fate and Developments can multiply each face to give you more Food per Food, as with Goods you cannot exceed your maximum Food slots

Some Dice faces give options e.g. Food/Population, in which case gain either food or population but not both

After resolving all the dice, feed your Provinces, each Province requires 1 Food to be spent. For each Province you cannot feed, fill in one Skull on the Disaster section

If you rolled Skulls, for each skull a Disaster occurs, resolve non-combat disasters first

Battle

First total your armies plus development bonuses

Compare this to the strength of the opposing force

If you have a higher strength, you win and gain Tribute equal to the difference plus a Conquest mark

If you have a lower strength, you lose and gain Disaster Skulls equal to the difference

Regardless of the outcome, lose 1 Army & 1 Ship if possible

The other type of battle is a Tribute Demand, in this compare strength and gain the difference in Tribute if stronger but nothing else is gained or lost. Alternatively, a weaker opponent can choose to give you 1 Good, in which case you do not gain any Tribute
