Can't find a lost Mayan citie

[bradfosho]

I've been looking for the 12th lost citie, a Mayan one South East of Villa Hermosa.

I've looked for 5 hours(!!!) in one sitting and I've had no luck. This is really holdign me up. I've got almost everything done in the game, but this citie is holding me up. Has anyone come across it? any hints or tips?


Thanks

Sorry bradfosho..

I just wish I had a dollar for every thread and post about finding map locations. Every few days there is a new one. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Fact of the matter is, locations are different everytime you play the game. Where I found the last city may not be where you will find it. Although to be fair, there are some landmarks that are repetitive.

The best bet is for you to simply decide to find that location and do so.. Do not get frustrated, or angry. Just start at the target city and walk in the general direction the map shows. If you come to the edge of the map and do not find a land mark that is on the map and that is not common, (totem pole or head statue), simply walk left or right for approx one screen and reverse course. Eventually you will find the location. Just search a "GRID" pattern up/down left/right. I have never not been able to find the correct location using the pattern.

There are more techniques that I use, but I do not feel like posting a more lengthy post at this time. Bottom line is, you cannot give up. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />


Most people tend to forget that finding the map locations are PART OF THE GAME. It seems like most just consider it a "side" item to be dealt with as soon as possible so you can get back to playing the "game". IMHO

EDIT: Adding this last bit above.
