Egypt Campaign #3: Discoveries

Screenshot
Note how both a lion and a Libyan guard the discovery

Goal: You need to find the five discoveries, the symbols on the ground that look like cave paintings.

The Skinny: Don't worry, no spelunking is involved. You need to build, forage, cut wood, and explore. You start with one villager. Make him forage the berry bushes just east of the town center. Build another villager to forage also. Build a third villager to chop wood. Build a fourth villager to build a house, then reassign him to forage.

Keep building villagers until you have a group of four that you can spare to explore. Take this group and explore the map to find the five discoveries. Move your villagers close enough to the discovery to claim it, and a flag will be placed on the discovery to denote it as yours. The five discoveries are located as follows: in the westernmost corner, the north corner, the south corner, the east corner, and one just slightly east of the map's center, near the Libyan town center.

Dangers: Wild predators lurk near the discoveries, but you can make short work of them if you keep your group together. You will also run into a Libyan on horseback. Gang up on him and take him down.
