| What it adds | Salt as a wild resource, Forum tiles that give each player special powers, and two new maps (Byzantium and Hispania). | Double-sided map: Aegyptus (Nile flood food bonus, frankincense/gold trade for money and points) and Creta (tight 20-city map in nine provinces). |
| What it fixes | Gives the vine resource a real use (salt cities) and makes awkward storehouse turns more forgiving, so mistakes hurt less. | Base maps feel open at 2-3 players; Creta and Aegyptus give small groups a crowded, competitive board. |
