In these scenarios, scoring isn't calculated the
same way than the classic game (it will be displayed but you musn't
consider it). Scoring is based on other factors
like units lost, gold plundered, dicovery of the city of gold,
... Each civilization has its own criterion.
(Go to scoring page)
Most of the civilizations have very important particularities. Here are
them :
Esteban and his friends : They've got only one remote city
which only goal is to shelter some wonders. There are only special
units (characters, condor,...) which won't be replaced, so you have to
be very careful. Most of these units have particularities which are
describe in UNITS section. Their aim is to find the cities of gold,
without endangering the world !
Spanish : Their only goal is gold, they mainly want to collect
as most as gold as possible that's why they're looking for the cities
of gold. They're scientifically in advance compared
with indians and are very cruel.
Indians(Mayas and Incas) : Their goal is to save their culture
and so to resist against spanish and olmecs.
Olmecs : It's a very old people, which science is very advanced
and surprising for that era. But these beings became sterile, so they
can no longer build units ! Their goal is to survive, for that they
need
to capture children (Esteban, Zia, Tao, Myena) to use their young
cells and find the Great Legacy which can give them the power they
need.
The other civilizations aren't playable and have a secondary role.
Prisonners : Some units can be captured when they are killed
(Esteban, Zia, Marinche,...); that means a new unit, moveless,
representing the character is created
and this unit belongs to the attacking civilization. If this new unit
is killed, the character is freed and the original unit reappear.
Condor : It's represented by two units, the first one is the
flying machine and the other one is the condor landed (olmec unit).
This landed unit can be attacked only by Esteban. Once destroyed, the
condor take off and it's the normal unit which appear.
Idea : That are ennemy units, most of them are dedicated to
Esteban and his friends; destroy it and something will happen !
Rien : These units represent the population of the city, they
are powerless and prevent from conquering the city
(the city will be simply destroyed !).
Canon : This unit can't attack ! In fact it can only
transport canon shots which are short ranged and cheap missiles.
City of Gold's door : This moveless unit can only be destroyed by
Esteban (thanks to his medallion).
Kukapetl : It's an exploration air unit which have to land
every turn (It can do it on Tao).
