Aqueduct is a Landmark from Empires. It acts kind of like a Gathering card, accumulating tokens as players gain Treasures, and then giving them to a player when they gain a Victory card.
FAQ
Official FAQ
- If you gain a card that is both a Treasure and a Victory card, such as Humble Castle, you can resolve the abilities in either order.
Other rules clarifications
- Aqueduct only puts on Silver and Gold, but if you gain a different Treasure in the Supply that has on it, you'll move 1 to Aqueduct. For example:
- If you have Capitalism and then gain a Farmers' Market, you'll move 1 from the pile onto Aqueduct.
- Action Supply piles can have on them due to Defiled Shrine. If you rotate to e.g. Sunken Treasure, then gaining it would move 1 to Aqueduct.
- If the card you gain is both a Treasure and an Action (because of Capitalism, or because it's Crown), you move 1 each to Aqueduct and Defiled Shrine. If there's only 1 on the pile, you choose which Landmark to move it to.
- If you gain a Treasure from somewhere other than the Supply (e.g. gaining a Gold from the trash with Treasurer), you'll still move the tokens from that card's pile.
- If gaining a Victory card causes you to gain a Treasure (e.g. Hoard makes you gain a Gold), you can move the from the Treasure pile to Aqueduct, and then immediately take them.
Strategy
Because people tend to start with silver and gold may be either easy to obtain or actually valuable as payload, there is a high probability that there will land some tokens on Aqueduct. Just like Battlefield, this may incentivise a slightly sooner greening stage or at least a single gain of a good victory card, maybe an early Cemetery. There is also the possibility for a gimmicky "megaturn", such as overpaying a lot for masterpiece, to then put all of the 8 points on Aqueduct and then buying a single Estate or even a feodom, if available. This beats out the point gain of a province and helps the deck more, if your deck can handle the 10 stop cards. This strategy, more than any other megaturn suffers from 4 or 5 player games, because chances are high somebody else already took the points before the megaturn can happen.
