First of all, I just scored 122 and that was without one of my Mayan cities, that wasn't where the map said it would be, searched for 4 crews and tons of food, a few hours of Earth time...nothing. I posted about it elsewhere in the forum, I think in the "Got two problems" thread, anyhow I've noticed a lot of people in these threads having problems getting the maps for the lost cities. Here's what I found to work, and I've played over 25 complete games. When you see a bartender in the tavern and he recommends a governer's daughter for you to meet, if you go to that particular daughter, she usually has the most important thing you'll need in the game at that moment, and much of the time, it's a map. Make sure you dance really well, and/or give her a ruby ring or diamond necklace, or you won't get anything worthwhile. The traveler will consistently make sure you have more of those pieces of jewelry if you're giving them away like hotcakes. Unfortuntely the ugly daughters have pertinent information too, and you must "`wine-n`-dine" them also. The only one I'm picky about is the one I marry. The rest of them are just for the inside scoop. DANCE WELL AND GIVE JEWELRY, YOU'LL GET ALL THE VILLAINS, SPIES, AND MAPS YOU NEED!
