The Age of Civilization

In this age, a great civilization appears in the dungeon, prospering for a period of years then ending.

If you have tracing paper, take a sheet and tape it over your first strata. Copy the surface line onto the tracing paper.

Choose a civilization, or roll randomly on the Civilization table. If this is your first time playing, I recommend choosing the Dwarves.

Each age from this point onwards is played in turns, called years. Each year is broken up into seasons.

Two Civilizations at Once
You may choose to run two civilizations at once. Don’t do this the first time you play How to Host a Dungeon.

The civilizations take alternating turns each year. The civilization with the most loot goes first.

Any time a civilization encounters tunnels or rooms dug by another civilization, roll on the Civilized Conflict table.

When a Dark Elf colony encounters another civilization, the colony and the main Dark Elf city add their populations together for the encounter.
