Note that the art for the new components is PLAYTEST only - the real thing will look nicer, we promise!

Setup

Draft initial provinces in reverse order (last player picks first).

This should help reduce the first player advantage.

The 4th player gets a better pick and less chance of getting totally screwed by the time he gets his first turn. (Rule change only.)

Military Emperor

Change special disadvantage to:

Roll 1 die and add 1 to the value per hit dealt to the Emperor's army. If the total value is at least 7, your Emperor has died in battle.

This should make a Military Emperor considerably more durable.

Card - Foederati

Change card text to:

Select an army you command in a Roman province and remove one non-leader barbarian counter not in a player's army from the selected army's region. If the selected army contains fewer barbarians than legions, the barbarian joins your army. Otherwise, return the barbarian to its home region on its inactive side.

Limit to current province only.
Limit to Roman provinces (no recruiting in barbarian homelands).

Card - Demagogue

Change card text to:

Each other player with 5 or more cards in hand must simultaneously discard one card (of value 2 or higher, if possible.) Only one Demagogue may be played per Action Phase.

Limit to players with 5+ cards in hand.
Put in discard, not return to available.
Must choose a value 2+ card if possible.
No Mob tokens placed.

Improvements

Market: For each Market in a province you govern, during your turn you may exchange 1 Influence point for 1 Influence point of another type. (E.g. You control 2 Markets, and you decide to change 1 Red and 1 Yellow point into 2 Blue points.)
Port: You may move one army per turn from your governed province with a Port to any other Roman province for 1 Military influence.
Monument: Any time your Governor is removed from a province with a Monument, remove the Monument and place 1 Mob token in that province.
Temple: During your Crisis phase you may re-roll the Crisis dice once for each Temple in a province you govern. Note: Not the barbarian invasion dice!

Maximum 3 (different) Improvements per province.
