Hi!

I need to know if I can through a region with enough units to conquer the enemy city without conquer it? For example, to attack an other city behind it with a temple.
Same question, can I stay in this region?

yes (as long as there are no enemy units of the same kind present there).

To still add the rule support for actaion's correct answer:

It is clear on p. VI of the English rules that the second phase after movement, the conquest phase, is completely voluntary. The rules say "After all movements and battles are done a nation may decide to conquer hostile cities. [emphasis mine]"
(The wording in the German original is a little less clear, by the way, but still.)
In addition, the example on the right side of the same page mentions that the player "wants to conquer Tarraco", he doesn't need to if he doesn't want to.

So you a) only decide about conquest after you finished your entire movement and you may b) decide against conquest - either against all conquest or against the conquest of only a particular city while conquering others.

Thanks for your answers.
I've got the french version. And it's not really clear in the rules. But there are approximatively the same sentences.

I've played a few times on Yucata (quite a while ago) and picked up a copy recently. I don't have the rules in front of me (at work), but I'm not sure if this question is answered in the rules:

If I move units into a city space with enemy units and decide no to conquest, does a standard conflict occur with legions and galleys cancelling each other out at 1:1?

I'm thinking yes, but would like a confirmation.

Thanks!

Yes, you have to fight legions and galleys when in the same territory. It is only when no opposing armies are left that you have the option to fight a city.

Just noting that this obligation only applies if they are the same type (e.g. legion vs legion). Your legion must coexist in the same territory as your opponent's galley without any combat, unless they are fighting for a city.

From the last page of the rules:

A direct battle between a legion and a galley is not possible. They can only come into conflict when a city is conquered.
