Has anyone noticed Ben's brand new shoes?

"These slippers were worn by a general in the armies of the Ptolemaic Pharaohs. It is thought it was the precious metals in the thread that preserved them through the ages."

I'm already packing my archaeological tools and preparing myself to do some digging.

Yes, I think the full map is needed. You have to do the favor for someone in another city before you go into the pyramid to find your artifact.

???????????????????

How do you "fail" a mission? I've completed three missions in 3 or 4 days and now have 3 certificates. I didn't even know you COULD fail a mission. How would that be done?

Falling into traps in the pyramid, peskie things. Easy to do if you don't have trap detection.

Hmmmmmmmm

I must have caught a lucky glitch. I wasn't paying attention to the text on the side of the screen once and fell into a trap myself. I was able to re-enter the pyramid and simply start over again . . .

hmmmmmmmmmm

If it's like a normal run through the pyramids you get a few chances to restart. There being at least 4 dead ends to every map. [this IS based on the old runs though, and I haven't done a recent reward run] You've got a better than 50/50 probability of finding 'something' in most instances without having Trap Detection to fall back on. I 'have' failed the last two times I was down there, but "luckily" I was logged in as someone else. Their loss not mine :p :D

by 'dead ends' I mean 'traps', sorry.

If you fall into three traps the map is no longer usefull...
