## Rules questions

### If I play Tribune and take back more than 3 cards, do I get money for the extra cards?

Yes — when you take back more than 3 cards (counting the Tribune) you receive 1 sestertius per card past the 3rd from the bank (example given); you also may optionally buy a new colonist for 1 food + 1 tool and place it in Roma (p.1).

### How do colonists move — can sea and land colonists use the same routes, and can they move through occupied lines?

Land colonists move only along brown lines and sea colonists only along blue lines; a colonist’s first step is from its city onto an adjacent line and further steps go through a city to the next line, you may move through occupied lines (they count toward movement) but a colonist may not end its movement on a line already occupied (p.2).

### When I build with the Architect, what goods and coin costs do I pay and does the coin cost increase if the city already has houses?

Goods cost depends on the city type (e.g., 1 food in a brick city, otherwise 1 brick plus the city good) and coin cost depends on city type (1–5 sestertii); the coin cost is multiplied by the total number of houses that will be in the city after building (goods cost stays the same), you may not build more than one of your houses in a city and never in Roma (p.2).

### What exactly does Prefect do — produce goods or collect cash — and how does the Praefectus Magnus change that?

Prefect lets you either (a) choose an active province with its goods-side bonus to flip it and take 1 unit of that good while all houses in the province produce one unit each, or (b) take the cash bonus equal to the number of visible coin-side bonus markers (then flip them back); if you currently hold the Praefectus Magnus and use Prefect to produce you receive double the province bonus (2 units) and must then pass the Praefectus to the right, but Praefectus does not double the cash option (p.2, p.4).

### Where can I place new colonists and what do they cost; is there a limit to how many I can have?

You may place new colonists by paying 1 food and 1 tool each into Roma or into any city where you own a house (you may place multiple colonists in the same city), or instead take money (5 sestertii +1 per your colonist on the board); the total colonists per player is restricted to 6 (p.2, p.4).

### How does the storehouse limit goods — can I discard goods to make room or choose what to keep if I receive more than fits?

Each player has 12 storage spaces (4 initially occupied by colonists); you cannot discard goods to make room, and if you receive more goods than empty spaces you choose which specific units to take but you may not leave any available storage spaces empty (p.4).
