The Extension

 
The CARAVANSERAI adds an exotic flavor to OUTREMER/CROISADES with the introduction of camels.

The caravanserai itself is an intermediate level of defense, mid way between the Village and Castle maps.
 

The Map
Standard size map showing an inner bailey (sort of) surrounded by stables and an Inn with a covered way to a small medina on higher elevation. This is the second version of this map. Graphics were enhanced (new terrain and slope aspects, bilingual texts with improved font, new regular hex grid).

The Rules

They focus on the use of camels : how to climb up or down or to kneel them. Their negative influence on nearby horses is part of the rules as well.
