h, your task is clear. Through hard work and sacrifice, you succeeded in building a great city for your King. No sooner could you afford to sit back and relax than your two most trusted Cavalrymen raided your vault and made off with almost half of your gold. This gold formed part of your treasure for the King and must be recovered. Not only that, but the two scoundrels must be brought to justice to serve as an example to all who may even contemplate robbing you. You are not alone, however, Three of your Competitors have heard about your misforture and are determined to beat you to the prize in order to gain back the King's favor.

o finance your search, you must build 2 settlements. Both must have a population of at least 700 people with at least 300 of these having reached "Citizen" status. In addition you must have an Overall positive balance of at least 800 gold with a positive Trade Balance of at least 200 gold. Oh, alas, where do you start? Did the Pirates organize this raid? Time to get rid of those scoundrels once and for all! Have the men joined Native tribes to wait for you to leave the area? Or are your Competitors harbouring these criminals? A rumor has surfaced that one of the thieves may have died from wounds received during the robbery. Oh well, it is only a rumor. On with the search. You must find and recover the missing 20 tons of gold and fast!!
