THE MAP
The map is divided up into numerous regions. 
Note that regions are also referred to as territories, and spaces. 
Each region provides a specific resource. 
Some regions are the starting locations of Civilizations (Boldface). 
Some regions start with a City (Italics and Strikethrough). 
Fish regions are Sea Regions. 
The Egypt and Attica Trade spaces are Sea Regions. 
The Island of Rhodes is a land Region completely enclosed by a Sea Region. 

PLAYER COUNTERS
Note that the term Markers, Tokens, and Counters are interchangeable. 
Each player has a set of counters of a unique color. 
Counters are used on the map to indicate control of regions and 
placement of cities. 
Counters on player mats are used to keep track of resources. 

NEUTRAL MARKERS
These are used to indicate a space is controlled by a non-player civilization/tribe. 
Use white, black, or grey colors for neutral counters. 

PLAYER MATS
Each player gets a player Mat. 
A Mat is divided into 14 Sections. 
Sections are also referred to as Boxes or Spaces. 
The Sections are labeled: 
1. Population
2. Armies
3. Fleets
4. Ideas
5. Metal 
6. Stone
7. Wood
8. Grain
9. Wine
10. Fish
11. Fruit
12. Olives
13. Livestock
14. Monuments
Each section is large enough to make a stack of player counters. 
Mats are used to keep track how many of each resource a player has. 

VICTORY
The first player to accumulate 100+ Victory Points (VP) wins. 
If the Knowledge deck ever runs out, the game immediately ends and 
the player with the most VP wins. 

VICTORY TRACK
This is a winding track of 100 numbered spaces. 
Each player uses a marker to keep track of how many VP they have. 

DECKS
There are 2 Decks: 
The Event Deck
