You must place a flag somewhere in the
mountains. Connect this flag to the rest
of the network and special-click on it. A
window with a few symbols appears.
Disregard them all except for the geolo-
gist’s head, at the bottom.
Left-click on the geologist and he
tells you that he has received his orders.
He then leaves the castle and heads off
toward the mountains. Once there, he
examines the ground and takes a few
samples. If he finds any riches, he
jumps for joy and plants a sign in the
ground to indicate what he has found.
This sign shows a small circle if there
are small quantities of underground
riches and a large circle if there are
large quantities. The circle can be one
of four colors: yellow for gold, red for
iron, black for coal, and light gray for
granite. If the geologist does not find
anything, he plants a blank sign. When
he finds underground riches for the
first time, you receive a message
because you may not be there to
watch him work.
You can send the geologist toward any
flag (as long as it is connected to the
network of roads) and even toward the
flags in front of buildings. The geologist
examines the area and returns home if
he does not find any mountains.
To accomplish the goal of your training
mission, you must find coal, gold, and
iron. Do not hesitate to send several
geologists into the mountains and to
expand your property by constructing
guard huts if underground riches are
not nearby. You have probably noticed
already that the guard huts cannot be
constructed in the mountains. You will
have to “surround” the large mountains
with guard huts if you want to find the
most underground riches.
Begin constructing a mine as soon as
you have found a likely location. As
soon as the mine is connected to the
network of roads, a construction worker
arrives and goes to work.
If you have given the order to construct
at least one mine for the exploitation of
gold, one for iron, one for granite, and
one for coal, you must now begin
thinking about building some foundries.
Select a location near the castle and
have your serfs construct the gold and
iron foundries. 
Your workers construct the mines and
the foundries while the miners are
looking for the necessary raw materi-
als. Food is brought from the castle to
the mines. The raw materials that you
find are taken to the foundries where
the unrefined gold is transformed into

The Training Games
Underground riches are extracted from
the mountains. Raw ores are transport-
ed from the mines to the foundries
where the ore is refined into pure gold,
iron, and coal. Iron is an important
raw material because it allows you to
forge new weapons and tools. Gold is
also very important because it raises
the morale of the knights. When the
knights think about their future for-
tune, they fight with more vigor. Coal
is very important too. You need coal
for the casters in the foundries and 
the blacksmith needs coal to forge
weapons. Granite is the least impor-
tant raw material; however, if there is
no source of granite on the surface, the
situation could change as you need 
stones for all the large buildings.
Granite is the only raw material found
both above and under the ground.
Put your castle in a mountainous region
and remember to ask for the geologist’s
help. Place your castle close to an area
where you find coal, iron, 
and gold.
Immediately construct guard huts in the
area in order to expand your rural prop-
erty and prospect further into the
mountains to find underground riches.
We can now move on to the first geo-
logical prospects.
