Seven Cities

If you continuously attack the natives you will eliminate them. If you attempt to eliminate the Poor Hunter/Gatherer, the natives go into a strange slow-motion dance, during which time passes very rapidly. Once they start the dance, you should eliminate them as quickly as possible.

If playing with a Cleric, give him 25 wisdom points—that will give you a major step in magic points.

It's best to look for the Lost City when your ships are fairly empty. That way, you have plenty of cargo space to store the gold- Sail to the western coast of South America where Colombia meets the Panama Isthmus, approximately 50 North latitude. Then sail due west into the Pacific Ocean to the Isle of Cocos, where you will find the Lost City.

Take plenty of men and a few goods ashore to make a fort. The Chief will give you thousands in gold, but if you don't mark the Lost City's location with a Fort, it will disappear before you can remove all the gold.
