Temporary Locations

These locations disappear once visited, so obviously, only one hero gets their benefits.

	Campfire: The first visitor gets 400 to 600 and 4 to 6 units of a random resource.
	Flotsam: The first hero to pick this out of the water usually gets some wood and/or gold. Sometimes, there is nothing.
	Genie Lamp: Allows you to hire genies for 650 1. When they are all hired, the lamp disappears.
	Message in a bottle: Sometimes gives useful tips to the hero who fishes it up. Otherwise, it's just talk.
	Sea Chest: The first hero to fish this chest out of the sea gets some gold, or an artifact. And it often is empty.
	Shipwreck Survivor: When you take this unfortunate guy from the sea, he will be so happy that he will reward you with an artifact.
	Treasure Chest: Allows you to take either gold or experience (choose from 500 exp or 1000 gold, 1000 exp or 1500 gold, or 1500 exp or 2000 gold). Sometimes contains an artifact.

Permanent Locations

Single Visit

These locations will not disappear when visited, but they may only be visited by one hero, or once by each hero.

	Abandoned Wagon: The first visitor may get an artifact, or a small amount of a random resource.
	City of the Dead:A visiting hero can fight a smattering of undead troops (think Necromancer). If he wins, he can recruit Liches there.
	Demon Cave: Only one hero gets to enjoy the benefits of this place. When you enter, you may be held for ransom. If you don't pay, the demon will eat you! Or you may get some gold, experience, or even an artifact. For more on this, check the General Information page.
	Derelict Ship: The same as the Shipwreck, with one difference: the shipwreck can be visited by boat or land, but the Derelict Ship can only be visited by boat.
	Gazebo: Each hero may visit a single gazebo only once. However, a hero can visit all the other gazebos on the same map. Each time, the hero gets a free 1000 experience.
	Graveyard: The first visitor here can battle a bunch of Skeletons for an artifact or gold. Subsequent visitors get bad morale.
	Lean-To: Like the Abandoned Wagon, the first visitor here gets a small amount of some resource. Sometimes, there's nothing here.
	Magellan's Maps: If you come here by boat, you can buy maps of the water for 1000. Not all will be revealed though. Even if you visit again, the map remains the same.
	Mercenary Camp: Every hero can visit here once. Find the others on the same map for more increases! A visitor here gets +1 Attack.
	Obelisk: Only one hero from each color can visit a single obelisk. However, you can visit all of them on a single map once each.
	Observation Tower: Reveals the surrounding area.
	Pyramid: The first hero here can fight some undead troops. If he wins, he can learn a high-level spell. You must have the right level of Wisdom, though!
	Shipwreck: Basically a floating graveyard. The first visitor here can battle a bunch of Ghosts for some reward. Again, later visitors get bad morale.
	Skeleton: Most of the time, there's nothing here. However, take the time to visit the dead, as you just may get an artifact once upon a blue moon.
	Sphinx: The first hero here must correctly answer a riddle, or the sphinx will eat him. The correct answer gains you a worthwhile reward (artifacts, lots of gold).
	Stonehenge: Each hero can visit a single Stonehenge once. For their trouble, each Stonehenge visited gets them +1 Spell Power.
	Tree of Knowledge: Each hero can visit one Tree of Knowledge once. If they have enough Leadership, they get a level-up for free. If not, they can pay 10 for the same effect.
	Witch Doctor's Hut: Each hero can visit here once. However, if there are other huts, they can visit them too. Each visitor gets +1 Knowledge.
	Witches' Hut: When visited, the witch gives a free random secondary skill. Only at the basic level though.
	Xanadu: If the visiting hero has enough Diplomacy or Leadership, he can get all his primary skills increased by 1 each.
