Example: Bruno produces 2 Stones with his Quarry.
•
If Antoine wants to purchase one or more stones, he must pay 4
coins for each.
•
If Bruno needs a third Stone, he must pay 2 coins, as Antoine
doesn’t produce any with his brown cards.
Bruno wants to construct the Fortificaitons, which has the following cost: 2 Stone,
1 Clay and 1 Papyrus. He has in his city 2 Stone. He must therefore purchase the
missing Clay and Papyrus. As his opponent, Antoine, has 1 Clay in his city, but no
Papyrus, Bruno must therefore pay 5 coins to the bank: 3 for the Clay (base 2+1),
and 2 for the Papyrus (base 2+0).
Antoine wants to construct the Aqueduct, which costs 3 Stones. As he produces
none, he must pay 12 coins to the bank. That’s because Bruno produces 2 Stones
with his brown cards, which give a price of 4 coins per Stone (2+2), and Antoine
needs 3.
Cost in coins
Some cards have a cost in coins, which must then be paid to the bank when they
are constructed.
Example: The construction of the Scriptorium costs 2 coins, the construction of the
Stone Pit costs 1 coin.
Cost in coins and in resources
Some cards have a cost in coins and in resources. To build these cards, you must
pay the coin cost to the bank and must either produce the resources, or get
them through trading.
Example: Bruno wants to construct the Caravansery, which costs 2 coins, 1 Glass and
1 Papyrus. Bruno must pay 7 coins in all. 2 coins for the card’s cost, 3 coins for the
Glass (Antoine produces 1), 2 coins for the Papyrus (Antoine does not produce any).
Free construction condition (chains)
Some Buildings grant a chain symbol (white).
Some Buildings in Ages II and III contain, under their resource cost, a white symbol
linked to a Building from a previous Age.
If you have the Building containing this symbol in your city, you can construct
the new one for free.
Example:
Antoine has constructed the Baths. During Age II, he
can build the Aqueduct for free as the icon is on
the Baths.
Bruno has constructed the Palisade. During Age III,
he’ll be able to build the Fortifications for free.
