Turn 1 (33) – Move scout NW, spot ancient ruins 3 moves away.
Turn 2 (34) – Move scout W, towards ruins. Spot Incan city Tiwanaku. Caravel picks up 75 tobacco in Shabbaville and moves on to Silverbastiano to pick up silver. MM Shabbaville to prevent running out of lumber in 3 turns (we haven’t got any tools to finish the drydock yet anyway).
Turn 3 (35) – Religious unrest provides an expert silver miner in London. Enter Tiwanaku. They teach fishermen and give 146 gold.
Turn 4 (36) – Scout enters ruins and gets Ancient Treasure worth 956 gold.
Turn 5 (37) – Scout meets the Apache. Caravel picks up 36 silver in Silverbastiano and heads for London.
Turn 6 (38) – Scouting…
Turn 7 (39) – Scouting…
Turn 8 (40) – Enter Apache village Tiiis Tseba. The cheap bastards don’t give us anything. They teach tobacco planters.
Turn 9 (41) – Yes, I know this is the next player’s turn but the caravel arrives in London and you can’t save in the Europe screen. I give the silver miner tools (to finish the Drydock in Shabbaville) and I make the criminal into a missionary to establish a mission in the Aztec city. The caravel heads back to the new world with the two guys on board. Immediate pop-up that our scout has met the Arawaks and another pop-up that New France wants to trade world maps. I agree, to see what they have explored yet, so we can focus on areas (and native villages) they haven’t explored yet. Saving game now…


For the next player: The caravel is on the way back to the new world. Try to micromanage the completion of the drydock so it coincides with the arrival of the 50 tools that the silver miner carries. If it finishes (the carpenter is still gathering lumber right now, but it can be set to building again) earlier then that's also not a problem, as the game will remember and when the tools arrive, it will bring a pop-up to ask if you want to finish the drydock now...
