[FAQ]:

Q: "How and where do I get gold?"

A: "Find and trade with pirates or natives. They have all the gold available on this map. There is no neutral gold island where you can quickly settle. Once you get stronger, you might want to try conquering the pirates and taking the gold for yourself.


Q: "There are desert tiles on the map. Do they affect my crops and plantations?"

A: "Nope, it doesn't have any effect, however, some desert tiles might affect cattle/sheep farms negatively."


Q: "Can I conquer the natives and take their gold as well?"

A: "Sadly not. If you try to kill the natives, they will put a curse that destroys the gold node. Use wagons and trade with them instead!"


Q: "Are there any ways other than paying tribute to keep the pirates friendly?"

A: "If you trade with them constantly, they will never attack you again."


Q: "This is an unusual type of scenario. How was it made?"

A: "All thanks to Anno1602 editor, Sir Henry's insel editor, Hex editor and SzenarioExplorer tool.


Q: "Any hidden info I should know about?"

A: "The map has some custom value changes that will break if you try to edit the Scenario. One of those changes is preventing AI cheats that allows them to move gold nodes.
