The Ways of Command

The Ways of Command token can be used to gain a specific special power. This power lasts until the end of the current game Era. Each player takes the Command token of his Civilization during Setup.

Each Command token shows two black symbols which represent the token requirements. To activate it the player must be the first in a symbol category and not the last in the other category. If a player is tied in the first position with other civilizations the command cannot be activated, but if a player is tied in the last position it can still be activated.

For example, the Roman Command token shows the Territory and Military symbols. This means that in order to activate the Command token, the Romans must have more territories than any other Civilizations and not be the last in Military level OR be the Civilization with the highest Military level and not the last in number of territories.

When the token is used, the player must turn it face down, take his own cube (from the Bank, the Used Pool, or from his reserve) put it on the Command token to show which Power has been activated.

The back of the tiles show the available powers:

• Take up to 2 cubes of your color from the general supply and put them in your personal supply. At the end of the Era, before the Turn End procedure, return the cubes to the general supply.
• Score Territories you are sharing with others in the Territory Bonus steps of the Era. Other players cannot consider these shared territory for Leader bonus and for cube turn recovery. If two or more players activate this power in the same territory, they cancel each other out.
• Gain 2 Technology levels until the end of the Era.
• Gain 2 Military levels until the end of the Era.

Any bonus associated to the lost Technology or Military levels (new advisor, recover card / cube, 6VP) is not lost and can be gained again when increasing the level.

At the end of the Era, any activated Command tokens are removed from the game.
