Gold discovered, and I decide to trade 1 provision for a move north. The expedition is living off the land now. An ambush costs one crew section. A disease kills off the other crew section. I have to abandon the trading goods because I can no longer carry them.
Friendly natives appear, but negotiations yield no result.
The scene repeats itself. No damage, but no progress either. The natives are friendly again, but this does not help us at all. Neither does it help that they turn against us and become hostile again. We still have to stay put.
