what else does the flights made with the excavation maps give us?You should look for a detailed adventure flights guide somewhere in the forum, but in short:
1) you should start buying Excavation flight maps from Duke's shop (the item for coins only). As you can buy 5 per Duke's visit, start buying maps well in advance. I'm now buying North America maps although I'm not planning to fly Condors in next perhaps 12 months. So I'd say it is advisable you start buying at least first four excavation maps (TP to Pow Delta) and you keep doing this until you reach at least 150 of each.
2) once you collect enough maps and enough fuel, you should start flying I'd say 4 TPs to Mesoamerica excavations with regular Dice activated and with instant return with fuel. You should try to fly as many flights as possible for the 6h duration of the dice. From these flights you will get maps to the five Mesoamerica destinations. Once you collect 2-3 maps for each of the five destinations, you go to 3)
3) you start flying to one of two TP destinations (Machu Picchu or Tollan) with activated 6h map for the resp destination and Golden Dice. Again you do instant return with fuel and again your goal is to do as many flights as possible for the duration of the golden dice and the map (NB: although both are called maps, they work differently - the excavation "map" is more likely a flight item - you use 1 for every flight you do, the maps for the five destinations are time limited maps - they allow you to do unlimited number of flights for their duration). Your goal is to get 36 items for each destination.
Once you collect x36 items from both TP destination, you start flying the other 3 Jet destinations in the same way - just you need more passengers for sending flight and more fuel for instant return. I recommend you send again 4 or more Jets at the same time.
4) once you collect 36 items from each of 5 destinations, you will get 6 Aztec Pyramids (6 collections per Pyramid) and 36 Bronze Chests, i.e. some fuel and some gold and silver tokens. Build the Pyramids and you will have +50 pop per Pyramid.
Then you start doing the same for Colosseum etc.
excluding pop.
