Mare Nostrum: Empires – Heroes of the Bible

About this expansion

Mare Nostrum: Empires – Heroes of the Bible is an expansion for 3–5 players that adds five Bible-inspired Heroes to Mare Nostrum: Empires, with a play time of about 120 minutes.

Fully compatible with Mare Nostrum: Empires, this 2016 expansion introduces character powers that affect Military, Culture, and Trade. Each Hero provides a distinct effect for exploring new possibilities during the game.

• Daniel: Choose one trade good that an opponent must trade.
• David: Add +1 to land battle die rolls when at a disadvantage.
• Jesus: Temples in your province and adjacent opponent provinces do not double Coin Resources.
• John the Baptist: Remove an opposing Legion from your province or an adjacent province.
• Joshua: Opposing fortresses do not ignore the first hit.

These five Heroes add focused effects across several areas of Mare Nostrum: Empires. Their abilities address trade decisions, land battles, Coin Resources, Legions, and fortress defenses.

With its compact set of five characters, Mare Nostrum: Empires – Heroes of the Bible expands the existing game with powers inspired by the Bible while remaining fully compatible with the core game.
