Do you have suggestions for changes? Compare the values given by the cibola cities, general treasures found by scouts and treasure from conquering native settlements. It would feel logical to me if amounts were like this (big to small) : Cibola treasure scout treasure conquer native settlements treasure chief gifts scout trinkets As things are now in freecol, starting in the south on america_large gives a big advantage because of the many aztec and inca cities there. On very Hard i often got 1500+ from them, especially the rain forest region tends to have lots of aztec cities. The large amount of cities at very hard level actually makes the game easier instead of harder, mainly due to chief gifts.. >> also besides cities of gold, col1 scouts found burial grounds with treasures >> more often then freecol scouts. > Do scouts with deSoto see burial grounds with treasure?
