History of the Ancient Seas, the ultimate journey through these exciting times

Build new fleets in your city to explore unknown lands, conquer islands and build a great empire.
In MARE NOSTRUM, the third and final instalment in the “History of the Ancient Seas”game series, you will lead one of the great Empires: The Roman Empire, the Mighty Seafarers of Carthage, the Greek City States, Egypt or Persia.
MARE NOSTRUM is by default a five player game but there is an optional rule for 4 players, the “Archimedes” Solitaire bot and the “The King is dead” static empires feature, which allow you to reduce the player count if needed.
You will move your wooden meeples (representing legions, ships, armies and fleets) across a huge, beautiful illustrated map from the Iberic half island in the west to the Anatolian mountains in the east and Gallia in the north to the Nile Delta in the south.
The game is played in highly interactive micro-impulses. The heart of the game is the “action cycle”. An action chosen by a player can’t be chosen by the other player in his upcoming segment. And each action can only be chosen a limited number of times each turn. There is always more you need to do than you can actually do.
War or peace: That is your decision! You can expand your empire by leading your people to war! But war is costly and the outcome is uncertain. You can lead your empire to the golden age of civilization by keeping the peace and bringing stability and wealth to your people without following the path of war. Offer terms to aggressive enemies to distract or delay them, but always be prepared to defend your empire.
