	Description Edit \| History

Antiquity is set in an environment loosely modeled on Italy in the late Middle Ages.

Players choose their own victory conditions: They can focus on population growth, trade, conquest, or city building by choosing their patron saint, and each strategy requires a completely different style of play. Or you can choose Santa Maria, the most powerful saint of all, but you'll be expected to build a civilization twice as impressive as any other player.

While your economy is constantly improving, with more and more advanced cities bringing new options each turn, the land around your cities is slowly being depleted, forcing you to travel further and further to gather your raw materials until finally, there is no more land left to farm.

Let’s hope one of you has won the game before that time!

Antiquity - German Player Aid (modular)

German modular player aid / Modulare deutsche Spielhilfe. Anstelle der engl. Spielhilfe im Din A3 Format gibt es hier 3 Seiten, wobei nur Seite 1 als Spielertableau vorm Spieler liegen muss. Dadurch ist diese Spielhilfe ein wenig flexibler. Seite 1: City, Goods, Harvest, Cost of Housing. Seite 2: Spielablauf, Kathedralen, Seite 3: Gebäude (Stadt u. Land). Wer möchte, druckt es aus, klebt es auf Karton und schneidet es zu.

Correct Italian Saints

This replacement card set is for those who noted that two of the saints' names only sound Italian but are not, which "error", I must add, may have been made intentionally by Splotter. Original print-quality PDF file (9 MB) available here: http://flyhi.de/transfer/santoscorrettos.pdf

Antiquity Saint Cards

This is an alternative card set to the one already published by Zhenya. I think the graphics are more in the style of the game, but this is a matter of taste. Original (21 MB) print-quality PDF file available here: http://flyhi.de/transfer/saintcard_set.pdf
