Timbuktu

[Miracle]

Go along the mountains east of Marrakesh. You'll find a narrow pass leading into the hot Saharan sands. From there it's a long, long trek across the burning desert. If Timbuktu is under Moorish occupation, make trade rights with them and send a bunch of merchants there right away. If not, send a small fast force to take it from the Rebels. The gold, slaves and ivory there is well worth it.

To get to Arguin go west from Timbuktu, along the African Sahel. You won't be able to arrive by sea until you get Carracks. There's some gold/slaves/ivory here as well, so it's worth the trip.

I've already found that passage, but my people won't go there.

It's a narrow path through the sand. If you click off it, you get the X. Took me a while to figure it out.

Here's a pic showing two paths into the desert (click):

@xehh - turn fow off and click near the city, holding the right mouse button down until a clear path is plotted for your army and you'll be able to get through no problems

[Xehh II]

I don't know how to turn fow off.

[Arcturion]

click on the "~" button (to the left of the "!" or "1" button on your keyboard)

watch the console open

type in "toggle_fow" (without the "")

Repeat to reenable fow

[sapi]

That's right (although you want to hit the ` button, not the ~ button - it probably won't work)
