'''Triumphal Arch''' is a [[Landmark]] from [[Empires]].  It rewards players with {{VP}} for accumulating lots of copies of at least two different [[Action]] cards.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* For example, if you had 7 copies of {{Card|Villa}} and 4 copies of {{Card|Wild Hunt}}, you would score 12{{VP}}.
=== Other Rules clarifications ===
* The tie can be for either first or second place: if you had 7 copies each of Villa and {{Card|Village}}, you would score 21{{VP}}.  If you had 7 copies of Villa, then 4 copies each of Village and Wild Hunt, you would score 12{{VP}}.
== Strategy ==

Triumphal Arch is a situationally powerful landmark that adds significant [[alt-VP]] when there are at least two actions that you want multiple copies of inside your [[Engine]], and sources of +[[Buy]] or a [[Gainer]] on the board. Often this will mean that you will have a [[village]] as your primary action and a source of draw or (preferably [[non-terminal]]) payload or as your secondary action to activate Triumphal Arch.

This landmark works even better when your opponent(s) are not going for the same strategy as you (i.e. a non-[[mirror (strategy)]] game). A non-mirror matchup reduces competition for the second action that you want for Triumphal Arch, and if your opponent(s) go for it to deny you VPs, it will likely hurt their own existing strategy. 

===Synergies===
* [[Slog]] games
* Card you want a lot of ({{Card|Minion}}, {{Card|Hunting Party}}, etc)
* Gainers and +Buy

===Antisynergies===
* [[Big Money]] games
* Trashing attacks
* {{Card|Castles}}, {{Card|Fairgrounds}}, [[Prizes]], {{Card|Knights}}, {{Card|Menagerie}} (sort of)
