Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ece35b83c5.75120573.jpg[/img] Lead your people to their glorious future! By going through the rise and fall of empires, your unique civilization will finally arise! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerIn *Age of Civilization,* players will choose civilizations, each of which has unique characteristics. They will then assign workers to various actions to develop technologies, build wonders, and earn points, all while keeping an eye on their military. [green]After six rounds, whoever has the most points wins![/green]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerOn the first turn, you must choose a civilization to *"rise."* Each civilization card has three important factors: [red]A main ability,[/red] [blue]a legacy ability,[/blue][green] and population.[/green] [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ece3814837.23039967.jpg[/img]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a71481bff1000
NekonyancerWhen you *rise* a civilization, you will get both the [red]main[/red] and [blue]legacy[/blue] abilities. The main difference between the two is that main abilities are *temporary.* The [green]population[/green] dictates how many workers we will receive, up to a maximum of 4.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a71481bff1000
NekonyancerThere's one more factor: [red]*bonus coins.*[/red] Whenever someone takes a civilization card, a coin is placed on each untaken card. [green]When you take a card, you get any bonus coins on it too![/green]4civ863a71481bff1000civcoin32 1 civcoin1 1 civcoin12 1 civcoin37 1
Nekonyancer*Let's play as Mali!*5riseciv163a71481bff1010riseciv1 2
NekonyancerOkay, time to take our actions. Mali provided us with *three* workers that we can assign, but our choices are limited to [blue]*these permanent options*[/blue] and [red]*the spaces directly under them.*[/red]1action363a714e7284c900action1 7 action2 7 action3 7 action5 6 action6 6 action10 6
NekonyancerLet's start by looking at the *Research* space. It says... *+ star* (referring to victory points) *Gain a blue diamond* (referring to technology) Below that, there are two action spaces. Each one shows one meeple, meaning they take 1 worker each. The $ 4 in each circle indicates a cost.2action263a714e7284c900
NekonyancerAll in all, the research action costs $ 4 and 1 meeple, but it will give us 1 point and 1 technology. [blue]Sounds like a good deal.[/blue] *Click on the indicated space. Then scroll down and click continue!*3action263a714e7284c900action2_2 16
Nekonyancer*This is your Tech tree.* As you might expect, you can't unlock higher technologies until you have researched the prerequisites, so our only choices right now are Writing, Sailing, and Mining. The Sailing technology will give us additional money whenever we use *fish* or *trade* actions. It also provides one *military shield.* *Select Sailing to research it!*4tech1763a714e7284c910techcheck17 16
NekonyancerGood! There's now a cube here, showing that we researched it. We also had to put a meeple on the [red]*action space*[/red] - the one that said $ 4 on it.1techcheck1763a714ee5e15900action2_2 1
NekonyancerWe still have two workers to use. Let's use the [red]*Trade action!*[/red] It grants two coins to the active player and 1 coin to all other players. Our [blue]*Mali civilization card*[/blue] and [green]*Sailing technology*[/green] will give us extra coins for taking Trade actions! *Click on the Trade action space!*2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a714ee5e15910action10_1 16 action10 6 tech17 8 civ8 7
NekonyancerGreat! Now we have enough money to research another technology! Good thing there are two research action spaces! *Click here to use the research space. Then research Mathematics!*1action263a714f3ab47410action2_1 17 techcheck14 18
NekonyancerGreat! We have now used all our workers, so our turn is over. At the end of a turn, all your workers come back to your supply so the next player can use the spaces.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a71508482b000
NekonyancerWe were the last player to take a turn, so now we're going to start a *new round!* Whenever a new round starts, the [blue]*permanent action spaces*[/blue] move one space to the right!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a715088ef0100action1 7 action2 7 action3 7
NekonyancerRemember, only the permanent action spaces or the spaces *directly under them* can be used! That means the [red]*Build action*[/red] is no longer accessible, but the [blue]*Farm action*[/blue] is!3action1163a715089498700action5 6 action11 7
Nekonyancer*We're starting this round!* We have the option to "Rise" another civilization card, replacing our Mali card, but I think we're good with Mali for now. [green]There's also an Annex option, but I'll explain that later![/green] *Click on "Skip" at the top!*4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a715089498710
Nekonyancer[green]Let's keep the research train rolling![/green] First, we'll need some money, *so take the Trade action!*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a715a0630b710action10_1 16
Nekonyancer*Now take this research action.* Note that Mathematics enables all three of the top-level technologies. *Research gunpowder!*1action2_163a715a1cacd310action2_1 16
Nekonyancer*Great!* Gunpowder gave us +3 military shields, so we have more than our opponent now!1player_board_1194135463a715add6fa500shield_92143487 1 shield_11941354 1
NekonyancerLet's put our military to work by taking the *Conquest* action! Note that this action space is [red]red.[/red] That means any meeple placed here will *NOT* return to us at the end of the turn! *Take the action!*2action663a715add6fa510action6_1 16
NekonyancerThe action spaces just moved over the [blue]*Plague*[/blue] space, which has an icon in the top-left corner. It indicates that each player *loses a worker* when the permanent action spaces reach it! And since we didn't get back the worker that we used on the *Conquest* action, we're down to one worker! [blue]This is an excellent time to Rise a new civilization![/blue]1action863a715e5b590e00action8 7
NekonyancerRome looks perfect. It gives us 2 strength, plus 1 strength for every 2 technologies we have. It also comes with 3 bonus coins! *Click on Rome's Rise button!*1civ1263a7168426e4d10riseciv4 2
NekonyancerRome's civilization card is now covering most of our old Mali card! That means we no longer have Mali's main ability, but we still have access to their [blue]*Legacy ability!*[/blue] It lets us use a build action, just like a [red]*normal build action space,*[/red] but we'll never lose access to it! I think you understand most of the mechanics now, so I'll skip ahead...1civ1263a71694f3c5400action5 6 civ8 7
NekonyancerAnother new phase! This time the action spaces moved over the [blue]*Hunt space,*[/blue] which has a sword icon in the top-left corner! This icon represents *War.* When triggered, whoever has the *weakest military* loses a worker! [red]It sure sucks to be our opponent right now![/red]1action763a71703095ac00action7 7
NekonyancerNext, let's learn about *Annexing.* It's similar to rising, but instead of putting the civilization card on top of your old one, you put it *underneath,* so only the legacy ability shows!2civ2063a71703095ac00
NekonyancerKhitan's legacy ability looks good for us. *Annex it!*3annexciv363a71703095ac10annexciv3 2
Nekonyancer*Okay!* We hit the limit of *three* civilization cards. We can't rise or annex any more civilization cards this game!1civ1263a7172ba9e3700
NekonyancerJust a couple more things to explain. First, [red]*wonders.*[/red] You'll need $ 7 and a worker to build one. Since the action space is red, the worker will *not* come back from this assignment.2action163a7172ba9e3700action1 6
NekonyancerWhen you take that action, you can claim one of the [red]*wonder cards*[/red] that was laid out at the beginning of the game. The number of wonder cards is equal to the *number of players +3.* When purchased, the supply is *NOT* refreshed.3wonder363a7172ba9e3700wonder2 6 wonder3 6 wonder6 6 wonder11 6
NekonyancerLastly, there's [red]*resting.*[/red] Any player may choose to *rest* on their turn instead of taking any actions with their workers. If they do, they gain 2 gold and 1 worker. [tip] [green]By resting, you can end up with more workers than a civilization card provides, but you can never have more than 4 at a time![/green]4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a7172ba9e3700
NekonyancerOkay, that's everything! [green]After 6 rounds, whoever has the most points is the winner![/green]5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a7172ba9e3700
NekonyancerIf you get bored of the base game, there are *two variants* that add a lot of replay-ability. Both can be enabled in the lobby options.6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a7172ba9e3700
Nekonyancer[blue]*Variant 1: Special technologies*[/blue]---In this variant, a market of new technology columns is set up. On your turn, you may acquire one of the columns for $ 1, replacing a default tech column. This can only be done if you have not yet researched any of that column's technologies. The top step of each column is the same as a default tech column, determining which column is replaced. *Hit continue to see an example.*7archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a7172ba9e3700
Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ece3a3ed67.82807585.jpg[/img] This column has *Gunpowder* as the top step. Thus, if purchased, it would replace the *far right column* of the existing tech tree.8archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a7172ba9e3700
Nekonyancer[blue]*Variant #2: Changing World*[/blue]---Changing World adds special events to the game. They trigger at the ends of rounds 3, 4, and 5. They're a lot like wars and plagues in that they occur as the permanent action spaces move onto the relevant spaces. *Click continue to see some examples.*9archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a7172ba9e3700
Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ece3c7a772.17890509.jpg[/img] As you can see, some events are positive, and some are negative. If you play a game with events, you can easily see their effects by hovering over them with your mouse.10archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63a7172ba9e3700
