¶ Vote for the Event
Receive your voting cubes: the first player takes 2 
voting cubes from the bank, each other player takes 1 .
Vote for an event by placing all your voting cubes on a single event card. You may openly discuss your choices and use any methods of diplomacy to influence other players.
If you have any voting cubes remaining on event cards from province exploration, leave them on the card you are voting for, and return any cubes from other cards to the bank.
After the main voting round, you may additionally place your unused action cubes and experience cubes on the event card to change the outcome of the vote.
¶ Resolve the Event
After voting, determine which event card received the most votes. If there is a tie, take one cube from each tied card, place them in the bag, and randomly draw one. The color of the drawn cube decides which event card is selected.
All players then resolve the selected event card in two stages:
- The Emergence of Adversities: Each player inflicts adversities on themselves as specified in the upper block of the event card, but only if they meet the conditions described in that block.
- Blessing: Each player gains rewards as specified in the lower block of the event card, according to the current state of their game components.
per game component (religion token, map hex, technology card, player mat area, or unit). If an adversity targets a component that already has a black cube, ignore the new adversity. Exception: structures can have multiple cubes up to their hit points.
rebel on a hex with other objects, move it to an adjacent empty hex and place 1 black on it. If no adjacent empty hex exists, use the unit's maneuver range. If still impossible, ignore the adversity.
hit points, destroy the structure and return its token to your player mat. This resolves the adversity without placing a black .
¶ Acquire the Achievements
Obtain each 
recurrent achievement for which you meet the conditions by placing your cube from the box on the corresponding card. You may acquire achievements of all 4 classes in a single round. However, you cannot acquire achievements of the same class from different cards: once you acquire an achievement of a particular class (color), you may only continue to acquire further achievements of that class from the same card for the rest of the game.
