Every year or season, a piece chosen by our clients becomes part of this collection, making it eternal. This collections born a couple of years ago, when we realized that many of the Coolook pieces were still your favorites, no matter how much time had passed since they were created and that they became a basic in your jewelry box. Pieces that have accompanied us since then and that as all good classic, they are not out of style. Once you have enough money, wandering armies are cheaper to buy off than paying for your soldiers (though you'll want to always keeps 100-300 scouts on you and 1 wizard for every 50 soldiers).Since before we opened our first Coolook store, our designer knew which were some of the jewels she would create. SO, you can put your soldiers away for safe keeping in the barracks where they don't cost you anything (and protect your city). At one point in the game I had 850 wagons, which was enough to buy all the well priced products in multiple cities.ģ) You only pay soldiers that are traveling with you on the first of each month. I recommend not doing this on the main continent since that may detract from the enjoyment.Ģ) The more wagons & horses you have the more smaller ticket items you can carry (which have some of the biggest ROI). * Note, if you dig up a treasure on an island and it doesn't contain a ring, reload and try again unless you want to sail the ocean searching for the final island(s). SO, I'm going to give coordinates for 3 islands (there are more but I didn't find them all). To find the rings on the islands, I think you're basically meant to sail around until you find the islands, but the map is so big that that can be an arduous feat. You have to search around those coordinates until your scouts report the exact coordinates for the treasure (make sure you have at least 100 scouts). Temples in all the cities on that given screen/country will give you hints of where to search for the treasure (in the form of approximate coordinates). There is one treasure per map-screen (which the game calls "countries"). The other two are buried on islands that are tough to find. Only two of the buried treasures lie on the main continent. In the process you'll find one ring in a wandering army, and four rings in buried treasures. You can also make money from taxing cities you have captured (the money isn't that great) and mines (which you will start to discover as you search for treasures).Īs you've probably already read, the goal of the game is to find the 5 rings of medusa so you can call her army and defeat it in one massive glorious battle. If you have 100 to 300 scouts, you'll be able to clearly see all the wandering armies as they travel the map (note that for every 50 men in your army including scouts, you want 1 wizard to save men from dying in swamps/magic forests). If you do have an unwanted encounter, you can bribe wandering armies 10,000 to leave you alone. This means you can safely begin the game trading wagons and horses leaving all your money in the bank (or by just reloading any time you encounter an army while travelling with goods/money). Wandering armies criss cross the entire map but won't do you any harm IF you have NO money or goods on you (with the exclusion of horses and wagons). You can make a FORTUNE doing this.įinal point. You typically want to buy goods from a producer city and transport it to a city that is far from a town other towns producing the same item (the further the town is the more it will pay for said good). Prices are always fluctuating, though some cities will always have some goods cheaper than others (when they produce those goods). Goods include milk, wheat and cheese on the first screen and machines, slaves and beer on the second. This is important because the more expensive selection of the goods are hidden until you press this button. Note that the store has a 'more goods' button next to the buy/sell buttons. You'll basically want to visit several towns at the start of your game and write down all the prices of goods in the store (and stables which sell horses/wagons). This could probably all be included in the official game documentation without any loss of enjoyment of the game.įirst, you need to understand how to make money, which comes down to caravaning goods from one city to another. Nothing I write below is a spoiler/cheat/walkthrough (except for island coordinates which, trust me, you want). In the past I didn't fully understand the game mechanics, but once you do the game really opens up. I had a lot of fun coming back to this game and beating it so many years after first attempting it.
