Hispania

What are the differences between the old edition and the new one?

The game has been redesigned to be played much faster than the original version. The changes mostly affect the combat system, most of the rest is almost identical.

More specifically:

• A few extra regions have been added. This affects income calculation and movement.
• An interesting feature (mountain valleys) has been included to allow faster movement in some key areas in central and northern Spain.
• Combat is bloodier and limited to only 2 rounds. No complex calculations and charts to consult for every unit, the battle result is directly viewable on the dice you roll. Only 2 types (black or white) and only 3 results: hit, killed or missed.
• The units’ orginal features and types (e.g. Knights, Legions, Castles) have been kept and affect the type of dice roll.
• A few original and new units are present: mountaineers, village strongholds, cities, royal guards. This give extra spice without altering the gameplay.
• Smaller scenarios can easily be played in an afternoon.
