Expansion
Unplaced Items:
Buying sea-life attractions for an owned port - a port gets a number - the sea-life attractions produce fish
Owning a vault gives you the right to roll 3 dice and then choose your resource harvest from 2 of those dice.
Use a Raft / Boat to circle the outside of an the island - cost of fish
Off the cuff ideas:
Add a ark which will cost 1000 resources and use it in a flood or Tsunami situation
Caravan Enhancements
New Caravan Features
Build an oasis on a desert hex. Your camels and get refreshed.
Open questions - what does an oasis look like? How do your camels get refreshed?
What is required to merge two caravans?
Camels can leave portals - put a code on two hexes just like you do for battle. The camel can enter the portal and appear at the other one as part of the dice roll without costing extra wheat to traverse the distance.
New Resource / Hex Suggestions
Artifact - maybe an off-chute of the desert
Gold - Turn an ore hex into a gold mine
Artifact - have a hex where you can perform an archeological dig and get an artifact resource card. This could be used in building museums...
New Hex Types
Iceberg - you boat or raft must sail around it.
Volcano - could be used for geothermal power or for a destruction event.
Jungle
Gold Field

Sphinx
# Resources on dice roll
A Sphinx was a hand on a clock that pointed to a location in the 12 constellations as procession took place.
A Sphinx also acted as a guardian for the Great Pyramid.
A Sphinx is an add on like an obelisk to a hex - not a replacement for the center structure.

Long build turns
As the game progresses, and build time becomes longer for a player, then the floor is available for open building. This will keep the game from getting boring.
Battle Time
If a long battle is taking place, other players may build as long as they do not build in the fighting area.
Game Strategies
New techniques for game play
[Hex Claimer]
Use roads to claim hexes before building structures
[Port King]
Target a monopoly
[Isolation Master]
Use roads to section off parts of an island so that other settlers cannot cross them
[Island Master]
Use the entire resources of an Island
[Hex Monopoly]
Own all the hexes of one type of resource in the game.
Currency
Gold
Gold Exchange
You can exchange resources for gold once you have a palace.
I recommend using gold resource cards instead of representational tokens.
| Resources | Gold |
|---|---|
| 3 : 1 @10 resources | 1 |
| 2 : 1 @30 resources | 1 |
| 1 : 1 @100 resources | 1 |
New Tokens
A new token will be added to indicate that an owned hex produces resources on all dice roll numbers. This is not a new feature just a way to keep less items on the game board. The token will be an A if available.
Purchasing Soldiers
The cost of a war license is 25 gold & 1 gold per turn per soldier.
Hiring the Robber
You can hire the robber to rob and owned hex and you must own a hex on a desert outpost.
Knights can fight against the robber.
Robbers cannot break into vaults.
