Colonial port on Eldorado are opened!

In XVI and XVII centuries European countries were heavily dependent on colonial goods shipments, like potatoes, maize, tobacco, etc. This dependency is well reflected in the gameplay of the El Dorado server. As in reality, the New World in 1100AD game is full of resource deposits – as ones already known to the Old World, as well as completely new and previously unseen ones. Population of Europe demands all these goods and food and is willing to pay for them.
To search for those deposits and locate them, player should build a research tower. After construction is finished, all hidden deposits are shown on valley map (if present at all). Until the resource extraction building is captured, deposit is visible for research tower owner only. After player captures any resource extraction point, whole deposit becomes visible to other players and soon they will be forced to deal with uninvited 'neighbors'. 
Every resource deposit has several extraction point slots, and is finite – that means it has fixed amount of resources. After you extract all the resources available, deposit disappears.

To start mining resources, you must build "Resource extraction" building in the city and capture one or more slots in resource deposit. Then connect it with "Resource extraction" in the city. The connection is made by digging tunnels between cities.
When everything said above is done, you will start gaining resources to the city treasury. You can see the time of extraction in city menu where you can hide your city.
Since Europe is in need of these resources, they can be exchanged for more valuable resources and artifacts in special colonial ports.

Colonial ports are PVE only, that means that you wont be hostile to a player if you met him in this zone.

Especially for Eldorado server we introduced new artifacts that can help you boost your reputation with the king of any nation. Such artifacts can be obtained via exchange for special resources in the colonial ports. So if you want to buy an artifact which increases reputation with England you should visit colonial port which belongs to England.

Each nation's colonial port has 1 of 5 Treasure map pieces, which can be found by Treasure hunters. If you visit a port of each nation you will be able to collect 4 of 5 map pieces, last map piece can be found by exploring temporary and quest locations.
