There is also a chance that when destroying town's barns that three bandits will appear. 100gp each kill.

Hidden Crops
At the beginning of the game, there is a CHANCE for a Wheat, Barley, Bulrush, and Corn to spawn, this does not happen every game.

Wheat - The granary to the right of the castle, below the NPC shops can spawn a Wheat. Be wary, if you pick up the wheat the villager right next to it will start attacking you and the town will aggro you for around 1.5 days - this includes Uther! The Villager will follow you until he or the unit that picked it up dies!

Bulrush - There are 2 Bulrush spawn locations. The more common spawn point is where the Monster Frog is in the very right of the map. You will have to find out the best way to get this Bulrush! The much less common location is on the bottom left area of the map, the rock in the water above the Fountain of Mana can spawn a Bulrush.

Corn - Using a spy(maybe other units) to attack the east mill yields a corn crop. Will aggro the town on you for a short time.

Barley - Can spawn behind the trees by the Lizards.
