no "beads/money" from native villages on different land masses?

[kattana]

playing a game where i am on my own island with 1 native tribe. I sent 2 scouts to the mainland continent and set them on auto explore but not a single one of the native tribes on that land mass, nor any of the burial grounds/ruins, have given me any coin. I have even seen the message when one scout came across one of the ruins, that the discovery got me .. then it was blank where the usual meager coin amount would be listed.

while not every tribe/ruin gives you anything, i have easily gone through dozens of tribe cities and 20-30 ruins..etc and nada. though 2 tribes did give me treasure that required a ship to get.

do we not get money from exploring on land masses where we do not have cities?

You only get gifts if you are the first one to visit the Village. As it was on the other landmass, maybe a resident AI was quicker ?

This doesn't explain what happened to the Ruins however...
