Each scenario in Legend of the Conquerors replaces the barbarian track from Cities & Knights with a Chapter Board. Each Chapter Board consists of two items: the Hero Track and a chapter-specific replacement barbarian track.

Appearance

The vast majority of each chapter board is dedicated to the replacement barbarian track, whose length is specific to each scenario.

In a small corner of each chapter board is the hero track. Each space on the track with a number starting with 0, with each space from 1 onward showing a victory point marker (Catan chit) in the background. Each player will have a marker on the track, initially placed on space 0, advancing their marker on the track over the course of the game. A player’s progress on the hero track determines the number of Legend Points that are awarded to players over the course of the Legend of the Conquerors campaign.

The spaces on each of the barbarian tracks may be marked with specific events. These are marked as follows:

Space	Resist!	Stop the Conquerors!	Free All of Catan!

3		The Conquerors Land – Strength 3	Support from the East

25		The Conquerors Advance – Green side first / Game ends	Game ends if red die shows 1 or 2
26			Game ends if red die shows 1, 2, 3, or 4
27			Game ends

Generally, the barbarian track works in a similar way to the Cities & Knights track it replaces, except that the track is longer to compensate for the fact that the barbarian ship is not reset.

Gameplay

Because a Chapter Board consists of two separate tracks, each of the two tracks are discussed separately.

Hero Track

• At the start of the game, each player places a marker on space 0 on the hero track.
• Markers on the same space are stacked on top of each other in any order. The order in which markers are stacked do not matter.
• The location of a player’s marker indicates the number of additional victory points that have been awarded to that player.
• A player must have advanced one space on the Hero Track in order to gain Legend Points in the Legend of the Conquerors campagign.
• Legend Point Scoring: Legend Points are awarded after players complete the scenario, regardless of whether players are victorious or defeated.
  • If players are defeated, the players that have advanced the furthest score 2 Legend Points, and the players who have advanced the next furthest score 1 Legend Point.
  • If players are victorious, the scame scoring is done, except tha the players that earned the most victory points (which are not necessarily the winners) do not score Legend Points. The number of spaces advanced should also be noted, as the number of spaces advanced across victorious scenario playthroughs as a tiebreaker in determining victory over the course of a campaign.

Barbarian Track

• At the start of the game, the barbarian ship is placed on the first space on the track.
• Whenever the barbarian ship is rolled on the Event Die during a production roll, the barbarian ship is advanced one space. If the barbarian ship lands on a space with an event, the event is resolved before production is resolved.
• In all campaign scenarios, the game ends whenever the barbarian ship reaches the last space on the track (or, in the case of Free All of Catan!, conditionally once the barbarian ship reaches the last three spaces). Any player who is able to declare victory before this happens is said to win an early victory.

Manifest

Legend of the Conquerors includes two boards: one smaller board for Resist!, and a double-sided board with the boards for the other two scenarios, one for each side.
